Hi all, I've had my Hugh PMA for several months, it's been working great but I do have one question: What type of voltage am I expected to get at the battery? I'm getting just about 13 volts @ 3000 RPM, does this sound in the ballpark for what others are getting? thanks! Aaron

Has anyone had any experience with this kind of circuit breaker in place of a fuses? Its labeled as an 12v auto reset circuit breaker, they have them at the Auto Zone near me for different amp settings... I'm not sure how the auto reset function works once it's blown. If it's overloaded...

Was looking for some ebay parts, ran into this seller, needless to say I quickly forgot what I was looking for: http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?item=110901622157&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item19d240758d&_ssn=usedpartsbarn&_ipg=200&rt=nc

Does anyone know if there is a kit that allows you to mount a brembo or other aftermarket caliper to the rear rotor? I know there are kits for the front but cannot find anything for the rear. Thanks Aaron

HI all, 1980 Special, TC Bros hardtail: When I apply my rear disc brake, I feel a very slight shift of the entire rear end a bit to the right (as I'm slowing to a stop). There's no play or slop in the axle or wheel from left to right, the chain is at the proper tension. This is with...

Interesting latest campaign from HD, targeting the younger/hipster crowd. Looks like they are also looking to win over gourmet chefs, robotic engineers, techno DJs, teachers and MILFy soccer moms!

I'm looking for an inexpensive tube bender, something that can handle smaller size tube (1/4 - 1/2"). Anyone know what the type in the pic and video below might be? thanks! Aaron

Hi all, My battery is currently grounded to the battery box itself, which is still unpainted raw steel. Whenever I hit the starter button, I get sparks at the point where the battery ground wire is screwed to the battery box. Looks very cool, but I don't want to set the bike on fire one day...

This is a new problem, have put only about 50 miles on the bike so far, it was so far so good until today. So I was "stalled bike guy" today taking a drive through town. Was at a 4 way light, waiting to go, and bike starts idling very roughly, sputtering, missing, sounds like it's about to...

Wondering if anyone has experience running crash bars, and if they would recommend them? I'm a fairly new rider, looking for all the help I can get. Do these really help when it's time to lay it down? thanks! Aaron

I'm running a TCBros hardtail, stock front and rear rims/tires. Stock forks up front (not lowered). I kept the stock kickstand, and it's scraping when I take left turns, I think it's either the little peg on the kickstand or the circular foot portion, I'm not sure. I'm not leaning very...

Hi all, Coming close to completing my build, time to sell some of the stock parts and parts I bought but have ended up not using. Prices include shipping, Paypal or Postal Money Order only. I usually ship on Thursday/Fridays Axed 2.2 gal Chopper Motorcycle Gas Tank 100.00 SOLD Tried it on...

Help! Simplified wiring diagram, pamco and PMA swap. My bike started fine just last week. I have a volt meter that shows my battery at a charge between 12v and 13v. But when I go to start it, the starter barely turns over, and my voltmeter starts to drop the more I try, it's gotten as low...

I picked up a set of LED turn signals, am I able to keep my stock flasher relay, or do I need to pick up one of these 12v LED Electronic Flasher relays that I see being sold? thanks! Aaron

I was able to get my front brake done in about 10 minutes. But when I moved on to the rear brake, I'm unable to get any pressure/resistance at the pedal. New rear MC, new brake lines, and a rebuilt rear caliper. The piston is not frozen. I'm using a speed bleeder and I'm assuming the system...

Hi all, Can someone give me a quick rundown on the procedure to properly sync these carbs? Is this done differently with the dual throttle cable set up as opposed to the way you sync the original BS38s? I've borrowed a friend's set of vacuum gauges and am ready to give it a go. thanks...

1980 Special, PMA swap and Pamco ignition installed. First time starting the bike with the new PMA and Pamco installed. I'm getting no spark, and I'm turning the starter over sporadically over the course of 5 minutes while I poke around with my multimeter to find out why sparks are eluding...

I have a voltmeter I want to add into my wiring harness, what is the recommended place to splice it in? I'm thinking right after the regulator/rectifier? Or further along, like after the fuse box? thanks Aaron

Edit update: I figured it out It's my 1980 xs650 SG, I'm working on a complete re-wire, following one of the simplified wiring diagrams, running a PMA swap and Pamco. My question is: Is it possible to run the starter without a starter solenoid/relay? Did PO possibly remove it? I don't even...

I'm using the diagram below for my wiring, it seems pretty clear, I do have one question though: What does the small rectangle I circled in blue represent (the one next to the rec/reg in the schematic). thanks! Aaron
