hey guys, really need your help on this as I’m at my wits end. I was running my bike with a sparx capacitor, PMA, pamco with e advance, 2-1 intake and a Vm36. She ran pretty well, but my little brother got a set of vm34’s from Hoos racing and it seemed to run a little smoother. I figured I’d...

smooth transaction, quick payment and very responsive @denton424

Hey guys, ordered a new front brake for my 76 and noticed that it's set up to go on the left side fork but my disc is on the right. It says the caliper is for either side but I can't seem to get the 17mm bolt and stud loose to switch them around. Are they Loctite'd in there? Reverse thread...

Hey guys, selling my custom 2-1 intake manifold and vm36 carb. Got it dialed in pretty well but would like to experiment with some vm34's as well. I have a brand new black uni pod filter for the carb that has never been run which I'll include. I have a build thread on here with the jetting but...

Hey guys, took the bike out for a spin this weekend and put in a good 75 miles without any breakdowns. Happy to say she's riding well and under her own power. That being said, I wanted to give her a good check once I got home to make sure everything was still where it needs to be. I realized...

Hey guys, anybody got a spare oil banjo bolt for the oil tube on top of the cylinder head? I've got $5 plus shipping on it. Snapped mine yesterday because it was leaking and I tried to snug it down a little tighter. That'll teach me to get proactive about my leaks!

Hey everyone, so my brother just moved home from Philadelphia and with him he brought the 1980 XS chopper he purchased from a guy out in Ohio. It wouldn't start when we got it back so I figured we'd clean out the carbs and see what the problem was. I've done plenty of work on my bike but when...

Hey guys, running a 2-1 intake with a Mikuni VM36. Carb is brand new, I've cleaned out the jets several times and can see through them. Brass as follows 22.5 pilot 190 main 6f9 needle with circlip middle slot. 159, p-8 needle jet. Mix screw out 3/4 turn from seat Was having a tough time...

Hey guys, need your advice. First let's give some background so everyone can be up to speed. Bike has a PMA, Pamco, E advancer and the red andrews coil. The bike runs on a capacitor but this evening I had it hooked to a battery for timing purposes. All of the discussion below is with a battery...

Hey guys, going with a 21" front wheel for my build to get a little extra height on the stance in the front so the 19" stock wheel is up for sale. Wheel is in great condition and will include the axle speedo drive (cable not attached) and spacer. Everything you need to bolt this baby onto your...

Got an 18" that I'd love to swap out for a 16" for that wider sidewall look. Wheel is in good condition with good rubber. Would ideally look for the same in yours so I can just swap it right on.

Looking for a 35mm front end. If anyone has it, the entire setup would be great, meaning triple trees, forks, wheel and all brake assemblies. My little brother just bought an XS650 that has some really nice shaved front forks but he wants to run a front brake so we need to replace everything...

If you've got one, hit me up. I need one. Also, I accidentally lost my OEM brake spline piece, the thing that goes through the pivot. If you've got one of those I'll buy that too. 860-670-2871 or nickjferro@gmail.com Phone is faster

Looking for an early 70's XL250 front end. Trees aren't needed but I will purchase as a unit if available. Also interested in parts if no complete sets are out there. Need forks, lowers, drum front wheel (21" preferred). Let me know if you've got one, thanks!

BRAND NEW Counterbalance Cycles 2-1 Intake Right Side. Looking to trade for left side or just sell it so I can buy a left side version. Would really have preferred this right side one, but the bike is running mids, and a jockey shifter which really limit my options for pipes. It seems that...

Hi guys, you may recognize my name from the build thread I've got going in the garage section. What you may not know about me is that I love learning everything I can about any topic, bikes included. I'm also fairly fluent in website creation. After starting a build thread here on these...

Right side preferred, as I've always found it easier to fuss with things on the "high" side of the bike when on it's kickstand. Would take a left though if it's all that's available. Also interested in the VM36 carb to fit it. If you've got either, hit me up. Thanks!

Hi all, Writing to you guys today to get your feedback on a book I'm writing. The more I progress through my own build, the more intrigued I've become with the learning process that is building your own motorcycle. As you may have seen if you follow my build thread, my intention is to...
