I have an older Miller mig welder that uses flux core wire. I want to convert it to use solid wire/gas. I have most of the parts needed for the conversion but there are two choices for the flow meter on the argon/co2 tank. One uses two dial gauges (psi/cfh) and the other uses the tube and ball...

Rockerbox is this weekend out at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI. Any of you Midwest guys going?

Anyone going to Rockerbox this Saturday? http://www.rockerbox.us/

I fab'ed up this little flyscreen out of some 1/8" aluminum and had it powdercoated. The coating turned out pretty well but has a little orange peel compared to the tank and side covers. Can powder be wet sanded and buffed as you would normal paint to remove orange peel? Anybody done this...

Ace Clubman bar for sale. This bar was installed once but didn't work for me (too low) bit I'm an old guy. It does have some light scratches where the controls were. Chrome is good everywhere else and bar has nice welds. Has the knurling spaced for the XS. Asking $20 shipped to the lower 48...

This is my favorite method of adding a wire to an existing wire that can't be cut. I take a lighter and melt the insulation away from the area to expose the wire, make a good mechanical connection and then solder. The problem is how to insulate the splice. You can't use shrink tube, not crazy...

Just wondering how long/far some of you guys can ride these bobbers/choppers with those little thinly padded seats? I love the look of the hardtails and bobbers, but just looking at those seats makes my ass hurt. I just put Ultimate seats on my V-Star and 500+ mile days are no problem but I'd be...

I'm no expert but this doesn't look all original to me. SX, Wrong seat, mufflers, gauges? What else? looks pretty nice though. http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/mcy/3150735141.html

This seat is a new take off from a Sportster I believe. It is in great shape and is about 16 1/2" at it's longest and about 12 1/2" at it's widest. I'm asking $50 shipped to the lower 48. Thanks for looking.

These 4" headlights were originaly all chrome. I had the buckets powder coated gloss black. They have 35/35 watt hi/lo H4 bulbs plus a small running light bulb inside. They are not perfect, having a couple of small chips on the rear of the buckets but are otherwise in good shape. The mounting...

Street Shield EX model 2567 windshield with light tint for sale. Fits 7/8" bars. I bought this last fall for some cold weather riding and used it several times. I have since bought a V Star 1300 cruiser so it's no longer needed. I had it on my 77 and it worked well. It's in perfect shape except...

I guess the chairlifts ad on the homepage must be directed at us old guy's!!

I want to buy a new bike this spring for longer trips. I'll probably always keep the Xs but want something bigger and more comfortable. Here are my criteria: No Harleys (sorry Harley guys) Not bad bikes but too many of them around here. 10K or less New Upright riding position (tried FJR1300...

I see leather up is advertising on the site and the leather overpants item looked interesting so I went on the site to look and of course they don't have any in stock in any popular size. Why advertise for stuff you don't have...pisses me off!!

I ordered a clutch and throttle cable from MP for my 77. The clutch cable was fine and even better than stock (thicker cable). This is what I ran into with the throttle cable though(part #05-0012). The stock cable is on the bottom. The odd angle sends the cable downward too much.The new cable is...

40-50 degree morning, full face helmet, glasses and then it starts after the first exhale.CSS (can't see shit). I've tried the antifog sprays on glasses which did nothing. If you leave the shield cracked a bit it clears but then your eyeballs freeze. I hate wasting these nice 70 degree...

Has anybody used an aluminum rear sprocket? Seems like it would wear faster than steel. They make them out of 7075 T6. Looking for a custom tooth count and nobody seems to make steel ones.

Any advantages/disadvantages to increasing the plug gap dimension? I have the ultimate coil with autolite 63's. I know Pete said that the setup will jump like a 1"gap but would .040 or .050 be too much?

cool bike but where is he getting a 100 amp dynamo (alternator) from??? http://www.xs650chopper.com/2011/08/boardchop-by-r-t-choppers/#more-13508
