Gents, While I like the big wide bars that came on my bike for comfort, I'm after a set that follow the style of the bike and look less like they belong on a bagger. I thought I had found a good set at Dime city and for the price I was going to buy these and a set of drag bars to compare and...

This is the "final" product, it's finished for now. But how finished are our builds ever?

Hi! I see that there is a DOT approved flat track tyre on the market now. I assume that would be a good choice for unpaved local roads, logging roads, etc. But the size specs are different than for street rubber. The rear GT268CC is 27.5-7.5-19, the front GT267CC is 27.0-7.0-19, according...

Hi all! I posted about this a couple of days ago, but my thread title was perhaps a little confusing..... The info I am after, is basically the weight of a stock swing arm for a 1977 D model (drum rear brake). Swing arm including bushings (or needle bearings), chain adjusters and adjuster...

After an eternity of preparation I am finally ready to turn a room full of parts into a motor cycle. The frame has had some lugs cut off and some new ones put on, however it still weighs a ton. Got the motor in the frame with the help of a friend. Fitted the triple clamps, the top one...

Hi all! I just received my Motolanna seat, and it looks great. On their Facebook page, there is a pic of it installed on an XS. While looking at this, I also noticed they have made a new superlight swing arm, weighing less than 3 kgs. They also still offer the other, boxier swing arm that...

I found a 1972 nearby and it had a fiberglass body I've never seen. Dude said it called a tracer body. Caught my attention, said it was running two years ago. The price is decent I was just wondering if you guys could let me know if its worth messing with and of any value? Thanks guys

I assume this is the standard Omar's glass tank. Do the brass hose barbs just screw out, or will I destroy the glass if I try? I assume these are standard Omar's fiberglass parts. (The fender was modified by the previous owner at the shocks.) But, I don't see these graphics on the...

Can anybody tell me what year, model etc Sportster hub I need and an example of a rim, so I can put a spoked rear wheel with disc on my xs? Or can you recommend another hub/rim combo that will allow me to run a 19" rear? Thanks
