details please...nice bike

I hate you so much Punkskalar! Why does everything you do, look so dam GOOD? Happy Bday

Any bike shop that deals with dirt bikes will be able to lace wheels no problem. i got quoted $100 to get mine done. but id say look it up and try it yourself. then get a shop to true and balance it for you.

heys guys, not sure if anyone has asked this before, probably. Anyway does anyone know what is the widest and tallest, and the tallest skinny too, tire that will fit on the standard 77 18"rear rim. Preferably in an old skool style. oh and available in oz. just liioking at options

cheers grizld1 ill keep that in mind and thank you to everyone else. i had a engine rebuilding shop change the gears over for me so i doupt id do a better job than them. just have to wait and see once i get everything else sorted and back on the bike.as i dont understand half of what you are...

thats all i did 5twins. well its all back together now. just got to sort out a few little things and im ready to see if she starts. fingers crossed

WHOA, thats pretty intense. i had to read it twice before i started to understand. dam nothing is simple. well if it doesnt line up first time im buying a new normal cam. cheers guys. will let know how it goes

Hey guys, so this may be a silly question, but as some people may know i bought a replacement cam and it turned out to be the wrong one. so ive had the 1977 36tooth cam gear swapped and pressed onto the earliar lumpy cam and its ready to be reinstalled. my issue is when i removed the prior...

Id buy/borrow a cheap spraygun. If u try to apply it manual, I think you'll find it'll look crap and clump up and the paint will most likely dry before you finish causing the flake to fall off. Normally its mixed with clear.

Hey guys, just wondering if there are any companies that make new wassel style tanks.(like the fong bros use) As anything over here in oz is stupidly over priced and very rare and my knowledge of good tank suppliers doesn't go much futher than ebay. Cheers

sweet. looks like i was on the right path then.

im hoping to build a similar stance to the fong bros bike on this link http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2596 1977 motor not sure if i want a fat rear yet

Ah, very true. Didn't think about that. Probably works out the same in the end.
