Many years ago I used to work for a rail company in Ft Wayne and I dispatched the rail depot for Ford in Claycomo, MO. Been there once...

I spy some metal work happening in the footpeg/swingarm mount area Gary!

Looks like he’s around. His profile shows he was on last night.

I used that same stuff in black to make very minor repairs on a vinyl seat cover. It was a small tear at the seam. Worked pretty well.

Phil is a first rate seller and packager! I almost bought that one too but just stuck with the front. I got my stainless spokes from...

Out of curiosity, what is the asking price? There is one close to me in similar shape at the asking price of 5k. Been on there for a...

My xs hasn’t seen much love in a while so I picked up an extra set of trees to try and clean up the front of my 77 project. As much as...

For those fans of Peter Egan I thought I’d share this. It’s a podcast by Revzilla that I often listen to. This week they interview the...

Why are they referred to as pentagram wheels. Why can't they just be star wheels? Nobody ever refers to Honda's Comstar wheels as...

Mid-Ohio is a tremendous swap meet. Biggest i've ever been to. Plus it's an ultra-cool event all around with vintage road and trail...

Much similar to Lakeviews pic.

I just saw the RE 120yr editions. Pretty sharp. I think they went a bit far with the blacking out though. That tank is a black chrome...

We are right on the edge of the path. 99.9% totality. It was pretty cool. Just a sliver of the edge was still visible. Temp dropped...

A great looking bike. How did you go about attaching your number plates?

nice and clean. looks great.

Ya, and my local bar always advertises "Free beer TOMORROW!"

:popcorn::thumbsup: Big fan of the cl77. Been watching for one to come up for sale locally for a while with no luck.

I had Texavina make me a seat for my ‘75 but had them change the stitch pattern to more closely resemble an xs2. No extra charge for that.

Nope, that was another hamfisted mechanic like me. Mine were BS38's. You are a special kind of talented fella though Gary...

You saved mine once when I thought I'd done hamfisted them proper!

Here are some pics of my Duro HF308 on my old tracker with an Omar’s kit. Bike is long gone though.

RE offers a touring seat that has some pretty good reviews. https://www.royalenfield.com/in/en/gma/black-premium-touring-dual-seat-1990482/

The yellow stuff is the factory coating. Many here use a high grade paint stripper to remove it. Then it’s just a matter of sanding and...

I’m in the same boat now. #2 heading to college in the fall.

I’ve got an old banner tucked away too. Forgot I had it. Mines just a blue/gold Camel GT.

Magoo, are you doing a restoration on that 75?

I’ve had several very good interactions with him in the past. Would be very surprised if no response from him. Sometimes life has a...

That is a very random drill pattern. Are those in progress pics, or is there a reason for the random drilled patter? The refinished...

Wow, I need some sunglasses. That's a lotta BLING!

Your frame has likely been powder coated. They never survive that process in the oven. Welcome to the forum. You’ll find this place is...

When you order a new one, buy two. It’s not uncommon to booger one up upon the install. Plus always good to have an extra on hand.

This thread can be found in the TECH section. I have no personal knowledge other than having read the thread...

I really like your carb/intake/finlter setup. Very nice.

A 75 with the factory pentagram wheels. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/952180285970936/

Maybe it’s just disconnected and the brake rod it bent? Hard to tell with the blurry zoom.

what's with that rear brake?

Following with interest. I have been eyeballying these bikes for a while now. I also recently discovered a new dealership in my...

One change i've noticed on iOS is that there are now thumbnail pictures in the classifieds where the user avatars used to be. I like that.
