not one of those fancy bolt-on/weld-on ones, just a regular old chain tensioner that the rear axle goes through. don't ask me why my dumb ass needs one, but i do. and i can't find them anywhere. the only thing that comes up are those aftermarket springloaded thingies that weld/bolt-on to the...

Hey guys. I tried searching but only came up with a few irrelevant searches for this. My bike has been out of commission for a couple months now anyway, and i never really thought about it before, but.... my bike was always fussy when i'd ride in the summer. like, if i'd be out on a...

http://www.xs650chopper.com/2011/02/dirty-ds-chopp-shop/comment-page-1/#comment-20859 I'm looking to change my bike up a bit for the spring, and i'm looking to go higher and narrower. Something like what i posted above, maybe even a little narrower if anyone could recommend anything. I'm...

Honestly, i've lost about a month of riding time with this carb problem. i took my carbs off to clean them out, stepped up a size in jets, put the carbs back on, and the bike began running terribly. took a long time to kick, would only start with the choke on. it was shitty. so i took the...

Hey guys, got my carbs off for a cleaning today and i'm curious what you guys think of this... sometimes when i'm coasting down a hill, she'll pop slightly. i have open drag pipes. i checked the mains and i'm at a 140 right now... while i don't have any pilot jets running around, i've got some...

They played at a local venue here last night and we got in to review the show. We also interviewed DKM guitarist James Lynch, but that won't be up for another day. All photos are by me, but the review was written by my boss, Bill. Check it out if you want...

I interviewed Toots Hibbert from Toots and the Maytals... Basically one of the most legendary reggae bands of all time. This guy is actually credited with inventing the word reggae. feel free to check it out... http://pop-break.com/2011/07/19/interview-toots-the-maytals/#more-10513

(skip to 1:10 for the action) my clutch is so bad i have to slip it like crazy at a redlight to get it to go anywhere. meanwhile this dude's just like "oh, and here's a casual burnout, bitches..." what is my clutch doing wrong?! does it need to be rebuilt? i've adjusted it to the point where...

I'm dying for a springer but am on a budget. anyone got anything for me?

So i pm'ed pamco pete about getting rid of my old points and asked him the most effective, least expensive way to make it happen. he suggested the 142 dollar kit (Part #14-0901) with Basic trigger assembly ( XS#14-0900 ) Dual output performance Ignition Coil with plug wires (20" ea.) and Two 5K...

So i think i may have fucked something up after doing my sprocket swap... symptoms: in first if i lay on the throttle the breaks up REAL bad.. but it's not a typical carb problem, it's like something is making contact and slowing the bike not enough to lock up the tires but enough to...

So my open face came in last week, and i've been contemplating picking up a pair of goggles. anyone wearing anything that don't look TOO dorky? I typically wear shades, but those don't work sometimes, and cannot be worn at night. if anyone could make any good-looking suggestions, i'd be grateful.

is this one of your bikes? http://allentown.craigslist.org/mcy/2383101804.html

So I go take a look at the TCbro's stuff for sale on e-bay, just to learn a little more about the hardtail on my bike. I look through the item description, look at the pictures, and looky looky - my bike is the example that they use on what someone's bike could look like with a tcbro's hardtail...

So I have a weird "problem" with starting my bike. When i first got it, it was a one kick bike through and through, no problems at all. Now, however, the bike won't start unless you have the throttle open a little bit while you kick. And what makes it more interesting is that even if you try to...

anyone get front/rears they want to let go? I'm looking for great condition rims, ones that don't need work. i'm willing to pay for the quality. let me know whatcha's got. thanks. max

..and when i changed my oil i used a 20w40 but it wasn't diesel, it was regular. will this REALLY have an impact on the bike? can anyone chime in here?

So, i'm not going to lie to you guys, my first bike was an xj1100. That bike had no problem going 110+ and i had no problem putting it up there. My hard tail, at 60, seems like it's trying SOOO hard. I don't mean i'm not trying it anywhere near wot or anything like that, but at a quarter...

Looking for a spare motor for just incase... I'm looking for a running stocker that i can either throw into the bike in case of an emergency, but can also be a project to build up and then swap in the winter. I don't really have a price range, but am not looking to travel more than 3-4 hours...

i did a compression test today. warmed the bike up for a few minutes, let it idle. and then hooked up a compression tester, one plug at a time. at wot, after 3 kicks, i was getting nearly 170psi of pressure. does this make sense? i thought great compression on these bikes were only supposed to...
