    Gas Cap- I need a creative solution

    I need a creative solution for a fuel cap. I fitted a CB200 tank that had the fuel cap hardware all screwed up (hinge, latch,etc.), so I buzzed off what was left assuming that I would find something that would snap on. I assumed wrong. I had an expansion plug in for a little while but the gas...

    Tire install; yellow dot question

    I have a question about the dot that lines up with the valve stem. As far as I have read, it's usually yellow, and it gets mounted to line up with the valve stem. On the tires I ordered the only printed mark I see is a circular QC stamp, it is yellow though. Is this the yellow dot/does it double...

    Good morning, I finally got my project assembled enough to ride so I ripped it down the street a few times. Initially it gave me a few problems. The right side was starving for fuel and it ran very rich. My fuel line configuration changed because Im using a tank from a Honda, which I believe...
