To use better terminology its leaking from the fork cap and the preload adjustment screw. Looks like i may have a bad fork cap "o" ring, but why is it leaking from the adjustment screw??

Hey guys! I recently lowered my forks on my 79 with the lower kit on here and now that I put a 10 weight fork oil in them they are leaking out of the screws in the top. The oil seems really thin, could it be too thin and seaping out? Is there a seal bad? They didnt leak before I lowered them...

I found a guy back home that is making me 1" clip-ons to fit my internal throttle. He is making a couple of extra pairs if anyone is interested.

Used this idea for mine!! I bought a DIY skateboard from a skate shop so I could form it to the 9" seat frame. ($45) Secured it the same way under the tank bolt and then welded a piece of right angle steel to the crossbar under the center of the seat frame. Now all I have to do is wrap it in...

Hey Guys/ Gals- I am getting rid of alot of the leftover parts from my 79' that I dont need any more. I have fenders, seat, wiring harnesses, tac/speedo, taillight/licenseplate, hand controls, headlight, center stand, starter, battery box, rear shocks, and some other misc stuff. Let me...

I dont drink, so bar hopping is irrelavant!! Id rather ride with no front brake than drink and ride. Thats shear stupidity. I will ride accordingly knowing I dont have that stopping power of the front brake. Question to you: Do you wear a helmet?? And be truthful

I like the look of a clean front wheel. I want to bring the foot control up for stopping on hills and so I can plant both feet, you know what I mean. Thanks for the defense, its probably not a good idea to eliminate the front but, I like to live a little dangerous haha

I am not running a front brake!! Have talked to a few guys that said they have had no issues with not having one. Thanks for the concerns, greatly appreciated. While looking for low profile mastercylinder brakes I noticed alot of different bore sizes. Anyone know what size is standard and if I...

Hey ladies/ gents- I want to relocate the rear brake control to the old front brake lever. Can I eliminate the stock master cylinder for the rear brake and just use the one for the front brake?? If so do they make a long brakeline to make it from the handle bar lever to the rear brake caliper?

What did it cost you to make the seat? And what board did you use? I havent been able to find a 9" board for less than $40. Looks sick and I want to do something similar. Thanks

thanks guys. I will try that

Hey guys- I've seen some custom bikes with the 7" headlight that has the toggle switch on the headlight itself. Anyone know where to get these lights or what bike they come off of??

Def not going that cheap. I found one on a site for custom choppers thats about $175, could use the extra $125 for somehting else on the bike. lol I think I'm gonna try buying the 7/8th bars and fabricating with some 1" bars

I bought 1" hand grips already and the only 7/8 internal throttle I came across was $300, until your post, so I was trying to use a cheaper kit that fits 1" bars. I could only find the grips I wanted in 1"

How did you do that??

I am having a hard time finding some custom accents for my new build idea. Has anyone come across a company/ builder that can do custom colored throttle and clutch cables/ plug wires/ brake lines?? I found a company that will make a paint that adheres to vinyl and rubber parts that's not...

Thanks guys! Just figured I'd ask, I will be keeping the front brake

I am looking to do an internal throttle kit w/ clip-on handlebars. I am having a hard time finding 1" clip-on that fit 35mm forks. Any suggestions on where to find 1" clip-ons that will fit 35mm forks or maybe someone that can fabricate some affordably?? Or is this even possible to do?? I just...

I have seen a few customs that are without the front brake. Would this be a safe mod? I know my sport bike I had I generally used 80% front and 20% rear. I plan to do a cafe racer and really like the clean look of no front brake. What do you guys think??
