    Monster craftsman tensioner keeps popping

    How To: Remove the Camshaft Rocker Arms

    Ok guys, let's get started. First - Un-screw the phillips head on the out side of the rocker top. After thats out of the way, now you have to punch out the guides for the alignment rods to access the rocker pivot slug. For this, i used an 8mm socket. It was the perfect size...

    Dragbars and steering stops, what did you do?

    I put drags on my bike and it did the same thing. To avoid them from hitting the tank? You could flip the top triple tree and it will act as a slight riser, (but i think it looks horrible). Also buy risers, but again i think it looks goofy. Its just the way the bike was made for the stock bars...

    The Fun Factor of the XS??

    I have a '75 "B" that i was going to bob. But the time that i was riding it standard, saving the money for the hardtail, i just fell in love with the riding style.
