    Wanted - Mufflers

    I have a set of stock mufflers off a '76. They are not in too bad of shape. One of them has a loose baffle inside. I have read a post while back on fixing that. I can take pictures and send if you are interested. Georelle

    Welcome Robbo. The only thing I might change if I was to do it again is the top rear shock mount. I think I would weld a U bracket on top of the rear frame then just bolt the shock to that. I welded a pipe to the top of the frame and then welded a nut inside of that to bolt the shock to. Georelle

    For Sale - '76 Softail Bobber.

    Thanks for the compliments. The front end is stock. The only mods I did was cut the tabs off the fork lowers that aren't needed and got rid of anything else not needed. I cut the tabs off with a grinder and sanded them smooth. Then I just gave them a brushed look with a green 3m pad. Real easy...

    New guy, 1980 Home Today!

    Nice. That exhaust is pretty cool too. I would probably start with rebuilding the carbs. It is going to need it sooner or later any way. Georelle

    Thinking about downgrading to a VX800.

    Hey Classic. I don't have the VX800 but I do have an 2002 VZ800 Marauder. I really wasn't too familiar with the VX800 until I googled it after reading your post. The style of bikes is different but I am sure the motors are basically the same. I love the Marauder the engine runs smooth and has...

    Welcome. Looks like a good score. That is a pretty good place to start from. Check it all over good then do as you said and tear it down and rebuild it. Sounds like you have the bug, I can relate. Have fun Georelle

    xs bobber/chopper with stock tank

    I stuck with the stock tank on mine. It is nice to have the stock rubber mounts. If you go through the gallery you will find some others as well. Georelle

    Need your help to get my chopper running right again.

    I am with RG on this. With straight pipes and pod filters you should not be running stock jets. You probably need to go a couple sizes bigger. What do your spark plugs look like?

    Disassembling '78 forks

    I guess I did get lucky. My '76 does not have the 17mm socket inside. the top of the internal part is round with a flat spot on either side.

    Disassembling '78 forks

    If you have access to an air impact wrench that works the easiest. You don't need to hold the inside tube. I took an old spare allen wrench the correct size and cut it off long enough so it would reach the bolt on the bottom of the fork then I put a socket on the impact that fit the allen wrench...
