On my 79 I am running unifilter pods (ebay), emgo reverse cone shortys, stock jetting (lean I know, something i might start to fiddle with today). I weigh 300 lbs, rode with my tent, sleeping pad and bag, camp stove, clothes and a 12 pack of beer from Denver, over Berthoud Pass (11,300')...

Hey guys, I just got done wiring a 1980 that i bought 6 or 7 years ago as a frame and a box of parts. Let the bike idle in the garage for about 5 minutes and then hit the kill switch, noticed the main fuse holder (stock) had melted the plastic on one side, and the hot wire was well... very...

Osteoderm, I just got that same switch. What did you end up doing? I am hesitant to hook the ignition to the headlight because if you have to kill the bike while moving, you are also shutting off the headlight. I had my power cut out completely on the highway at night... scary not to be able...

Hey guys I have my new mufflers on the way (emgo shortys) and i am preparing to shop the stock mufflers off. I read the post in the tech section, but I am still a bit confused. Do i cut at the weld closest to the stock hanger, or the one further back? Dylan

still available?

Hey guys, I'm in broomfield, glad to see some people from the mile high city! I've seen a number of 650s for sale around here, not too many riding. As for the melted rectifier wire, I had the ground on my 79 fry... everywhere from the rectifier up to the battery, under the gas tank and almost...

I've been making calls all day (I'm at work). I was quoted 65 per cylinder for the bore, up to 1mm over (4th over?) By two shops. Sound about average?
