    Custom tail light ideas?

    Id like to see some different ideas. Sort of like the Fong oil can or something. Ive been trying to figure out how I could use an old glass insulator but they're heavy. Maybe a short glass bottle or something.... Post pics if you have any! :thumbsup:

    Anyone change tunnel depth (shallower) on a tank/

    Just a thought. I thought about making my wassall tank sit up a little higher. I was thinking of adding my own tunnel or maybe just a few pieces across to raise it up and change the mounts. Its an old one with the front mounts at the side... It will be a while but thinking...

    Frame differences by year?

    I have seen it before but can't remember when the frames changed. I think it was around '75? Id like to know what years use the same frame. I may be in a situation here where I need a frame to swap everything onto and I want to make sure I buy a frame that is the same as my '77. Thanks...

    Wanted - Looking for frame w/title

    I am having a tough time working out the title for my inherited bike and I am thinking of having a back up plan. This is all sort of an "if" situation, so let me know if you have something or have any leads. This will become more of a reality the longer time goes. My bike is a 77, so a late...

    Source for complete hardtail frames?

    Id essentially be looking for a complete frame. Nothing crazy, pretty much a stock frame with hardtail. Possibly minus any of the extra chunky stuff. I see voodoo vintage on monstercraftsman. The problem for me is getting the title ever since I inherited the bike from my buddy. He lost the...

    Check out Lowside issue #8

    Fong Bros did a nice little page insert with my buddy Kup who passed. For those unaware, he left me his bike and he would be stoked to have his picture with the bike in the mag. Fong bros are great guys, I got to meet up with Denis and Tim at the Timonium bike show last weekend. :thumbsup:

    Met Monstercrafstman (crew) today at a show.

    Good bunch. I grabbed a brass tach delete piece. Wanted more but not at that stage just yet. They'll be my first call for many parts in the future. They knew what was going on and were laid back. Good crowd. Thanks!:thumbsup:

    For Sale - Vega XTS Naked Black Leather 1/2 Helmet - XXL

    Worn twice, this is basically brand new. The visor has small nicks here and there, but its not very noticeable. There is a small line in the leather that can be seen in the 1st photo, almost like you took your fingernail and scribed it along 1". I'm selling this because it is not my style...

    Exhaust Wrap Silicone coating color question...

    Ok, I want to use the DEI titanium wrap since it sounds like Black looses its color. The problem is that all of the sprays are colored, white - black - copper, but no clear. I want to make sure that the pipes dont rust underneath...... Any sources out there for my color dilema?:confused:

    Looking for custom Kick start pedals?

    I'd love to run an old BMX pedal or something, but since we're blessed with 1 piece cast kickers, I thought Id see if there is any interchange to a different style. I've seen XS's with them, just haven't found the parts in my search. Thanks! :thumbsup:

    Tips on 2 tone base/clear paint job

    Ok, so I've been doing body work and paint on my own cars for a while but I have never 2 toned anything. I want to do a 2 tone job on my bike (possibly a 3rd color between the 2 tones on the tank) i am guessing you have a window to tape off for the 2nd color when the 1st color flashes? I...

    Looking for some turn signal set-ups/ideas

    My 77 XS does not have turn signals so I was curious of how I could incorporate some low profile ones that are nice and visible, but not taking away from the look of the bike. Also, I assume that all I will need is power, relay and signal switch? This bike does not have much factory wiring...
