    Homemade Uni Filter Oil

    Yep put too much 5w20 on & it’s too thick & leaks out. Noticed several mix w/gas. Has anybody tried mixing oil w/kerosene in spray bottle to solve this?

    Carbs still falling out of holders on 78 Street Tracker

    Everything came in. Removed seat & tank. Installed tygon hoses. Clamps from JBM were pretty large so got smaller ones at Autozone. Carbs still falling out.

    Street tracker tires

    She came with Pirelli MT66 119/90-19 front & 130/90-16 rear. Ok for now but would like to replace soon. These appear discontinued/out of stock. Recommendations for new. I run Michelins on the Road Star & they’ve always been good.
