    Regulator/ Rectifier swap

    I am using a 78 motor with a pamco and wiring from scratch. I need a reg/rec and from what I see they are separate on the 78. There is a reg/rec on my 1980 that i'd like to use. I was trying to figure out if there were any issues with using the one off of the 80 and I noticed that the reg/recs...

    Where are the $4 brushes

    I have seen some of the debate over PMA vs. stock charging system. Some of the guys have said that at $4 for brushes that is an easy fix so they just stick with the stock setup. I can't remember where I read that or I'd just send a PM. I have looked for the brushes and can't find anywhere close...

    Killer headlight

    These are a killer looking bucket and I am waiting to hear back from the seller to try and figure out if I can use a standard halogen bulb instead of the 20w 12v bulbs that they sell separately. It is difficult to tell by looking at the pictures of the 12v bulbs that they sell whether a halogen...

    Speedo swap

    Looking for an old headlight with the speedo in it and I am finding several brands and styles. Are all speedo cables the same (universal) or does it vary from make to make?

I would like to just get it running and timed and work out from there. In the Banshee swap thread there is mention of wiring just...

    Trade - Girder front end for lowbrow deep tunnel tank

    SOLD I got a girder front end I'd like to trade for one of lowbrows deep tunnel wassell style peanut tanks. Decided to go a different direction with the build. I stuck it in an extra frame to see how it fits and it has just a hair of play. It looks to measure about 15/16" on the neck and...

    Got my frame back and its not right

    I had a local bike fab guy do the tail on my bike and when I got it back the lower motor mount is not at 7" it is a hair over 6 3/4. I don't wanna mess with driving an hour back out to his shop to have him fix it so I am wondering if there is any reason why it would be a problem to grab a...

    Archway International Motorcycle Salvage

    I am in St Louis for the weekend so I thought I'd stop by Archway International Motorcycle Salvage. I wasn't impressed. There is a very small area that you can browse where the parts are overpriced. Upstairs where the good stuff apparently is you can't walk around. You ask for something specific...

    Think this this dangerous?

    I want to lace my hubs to 21" excel rims on the front and rear. Trouble is, at 1.6" width it looks like the widest tire I can run is an 80 which is 3" wide if I am not mistaken. I really like this look but I don't want to make a death rocket out of this thing just to get a desired look. What...

    Anybody ever buy these spokes?

    Post pictures of your neck rake mods

    I have read every post on the site with "Rake" in the title but there are not a lot of pics in one place that show the different rake options in picture form. Post your bike and the amount of additional rake over stock 27 degrees. Also, it would be great if you could add whether you made...

    Don't ship ups for small stuff!!!!!

    I sent some things out today to a few guys on the site. It was my own fault and I chalk it up to a lesson learned because I haven't done much shipping until now. I packaged everything and planned to take the the post office. I was by the UPS store and short on time so I sent through them. When...

    Chain tensioner

    I would like to fab a chain tensioner that is spring loaded, similar to the monstarcraftsman version and I am wondering if anyone knows where to look for the sprocket and spring. I work in a steel mill and I can have pretty much anything machined as far as brackets are concerned. I can get...
