I'm trying to figure out my rear fender on my bike. I've installed the visual impact brat kit. I made my rear fender out of fiberglass. It was originally mounted to the swing arm. Now I'm trying to mount it to the frame. But I'm having a rear hard time trying to figure out clearance. I took...

So I bought a Hugh's Handbuilt top motor mount. It's a huge improvement over the stock one. I'm looking at purchasing a Wassell tank from TCBrothers. I like how the high tunnel version sits on the frame as I've seen in pictures but every one I've seen goes without a top motor mount. I know...

Where do you buy your brake lines? I apparently need custom length brake lines for project. I've shopped online for nearly 2 weeks and it seems I'm going to have to drop $120 total on 2 braided SS lines!!! WTF!?!?! Seriously? That seems over the top expensive. Does anyone have any...

Alright, I did some searching and either my search-fu is bad or it hasn't been discussed. I have this speedometer http://www.mikesxs.net/product/03-0744.html It came from Mikes with NO useable manual. Since the indicators on the dial are LED's I can't tell if they need a resistor in-line...

Alright gentleman, and ladies if they're there, I have a question for you all. Last night I looked at how I had my rear fender mounted to my bike. It's currently mounted to the swing arm with minimal clearance to the tire. Was a little concerned about this and the vibes of road travel...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I require your collective minds to try and solve my dilema here. I recently found that a 6" long piece of 3" exhaust pipe is a perfect container for the custom electronics enclosure I'm creating for my build. I have the spot chosen on the bike and the electronics are...

I need some help Ladies and Gents... I have some carb issues. I'll try and describe it as briefly as possible but feed you all the relevant information. Mikuni 38's with a carb rebuild kit and pods. Started leaking gas out of the pods. Turns out the floats weren't adjusted right. So I...

Good afternoon all, Sitting here bored at work I realised that I've been lurking on this forum for FAR too long without posting the build that I started in the fall of 2011. There has been far too many photos to start posting this late in the game so I'll share the link to my build blog. I...
