    Hand "twist" controls

    Seems that the brake controls would be no good as you couldn't throttle and brake at the same time.

    To build a Sport Touring XS650

    For the record: If anybody gives me a new Goldwing for free, I will ride it every day with a giddy smile on my face.

    uncomfortable wobble at 90 to 100

    Amen to that. I,ve got a 71, ratted out cafe style. You do not want to be behind me @ 75MPH ...because I,m sh!tting my pants.

    size nut front drive chain sprocket?

    Before you buy that socket, you might check to see if your local Auto Zone has one in their "Loaner Tools". 36mm is a pretty commonn automotive hub/axle nut size.

    I suppose it could have just as easily ended up adverised as a drill press or a swimming pool pump.

    It's hard to lose when you get a TD 5 out of the first 4 times you get the ball. That was a hard game to watch. I just hope you do the same to the Chargers.

    For Sale - 1979 XS400 Special donor bike - $250

    Technically not ironic. If you had sold the tank for $175 then bought this bike and discovered it had your old tank on it and THEN had to scrap it for $20. THAT would be irony. Sorry, I'm a dick. I know.

    Small tube

    Whenever I post a thread advertising pictures of my "small tube" all I get is silence. That's weird.

    tappet cover studs

    I went to my local hardware store today and picked up the 6mm studs I needed for mine and noticed they had some that were 8mm on one side and 6mm on the other. Tap it out to 8mm next time you have to take that cover off.

    tappet cover studs

    This may seem "duh" simple to some folks, but I just figured it out. I had my valve covers off to adjust my valves, and discovered that the PO had replaced some of the cover studs with bolts. I put them back on not thinking anything was wrong with that. I went to tighten the last cap nut and it...

    Valve cover casting marks "1" & "2"

    Chrome? Oooooh. You mean garage floor glitter. Also known as sparkly stuff I can't get off my fingers...unless I put them in my eye.
