    TC Bros throttle

    Anyone running a TC throttle having issues with excess slop in the throttle? I mean, a lot. I'm probably getting 30 deg of turn on the throttle before I start pulling the cable. It was the same way before I changed the bars and cable, so I doubt it is that, and if I adjust the cable until I get...

    What has happened to my bike?

    Ok guys, I need your help. I took my bike to a local shop to have new 12" apes installed. I get a call Tuesday saying that it's ready.

    Front Master Cylinder

    The "Brass Tax"

    HAHA, play on words there in the title. In all seriousness, a metallurgist I am not, so advice is needed. Been thinking about using brass parts here and there throughout my build, but I have concerns. Mainly, if the brass or other metals with corrode or otherwise self destruct from coming into...

    Exhaust Help for my '82

    Been searching around the forum and see a lot of differing opinions. With that being said, I am not a big fan of the exhaust that are currently on my XS. They sound fine, but don't like the look. What I am thinking is basically a set of "skirt blowers" that would either take the same track as my...

    Front End Help

    Just purchased a 1982 XS about 2 weeks ago. I am looking at changing out the bars, but am running into some issues.
