I installed a Pamco on my bike a few months ago & had an issue with the weights not snapping back. I removed the advance spring setup from the 1 side and was just spinning the rod with my hand. It was very easy to spin with my fingers, but just got a little bit tighter in this 1 spot. I lubed...

Thanks for the information. John was the first shop to turn me away. We've been shop "neighbors" for several years. We rent in the same location. Great guy & we love him, but he said he couldn't risk his license for 30 bucks. I'm not gonna break his balls, I respect him too much. Goldens...

Wanted to include what the bike has. 80XS, PA titled, registered & insured. TC Bros hardtail frame. Model A taillight on vertical license plate on rear axle. 1 mirror - approx. 4" round. GordonScott drag pipes. Bar end turn signals. The bike is solid- already put 2500mi on it last year.

Team, Ive had 2 different shops tell me they won't inspect my bike due to the hardtail frame. They werent really sure how to handle it & "didn't want to risk it". They both asked for a reconstructed title- which I do not have, just a standard title. I do not want to go thru the huge...

I did mine for looks. Its the same thing that drives a lot of people to customize a lot of different things. Try not to let it bother you & just do your own thing.

My bike definitely has 2 marks and 2 letters... I do not have the little "U" line like in your picture... My bike is an 80, G model- had the TCI pickup etc. It has a T and an F, Im pretty much certain the F is on the left... While idling and using the timing light, the line is pretty much...

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I was able to tinker with the timing setting a little more yesterday. Theres 2 marks on my bike. F & T- They are about 1/2" apart. I used the mark on the left- I think it was the F. Im not sure what the mark on the right is for, when the timing is...

Team, Excuse any errors, typing this on the phone. I installed a pamco on my 80 last weekend. The bike actually ran great before.. would stall every now & then & liked to be warmed up.. sometimes hard starting, but still fairly easy. Anyway, install went great, wired up right. Auto...

I used 2 large 3/4" washers inside of the 2 chain tensioners... It took up the extra space The washer also helped the inner tensioner plate mimic the outer one in thickness which helped align the tensioner bolts with the divots in my axle plates. However, My spacing is around 8.5". The...

Gordons drag pipes will scream if you make them... At idle & low cruising, they sound great.. Mine produce a nice deep sound. If Im accelerating quickly, then they are pretty loud. However, Its easily controlled by RPM & throttle position. I can pass parked police cars & cruise thru...

Banjo, Im located in Ridley Park. Maybe you'll see me on the road sometime...

I just installed a new clutch in my bike & it was doing the same thing. I tinkered with it for awhile, convinced I had made a mistake on the install. It eased my mind to see the clutch plates opening up fine when I had the side cover off and squeezing the handle. I could also see the clutch...

Oh boy... I don't know if you're going to get the type of replies you are hoping for..

I had a set on my 80 when I bought it a few years ago... I assumed they were stock. They were pretty much the first thing I removed... I threw them away- sorry.. But, you should be able to find a set on ebay or in the classifieds.

Something to think about with a short fender... Mine ends right around 11:30-12oclock position if you were on the driverside of the bike. Its not uncommon for me to have road grime up my back or on my bag... I don't mind it too much, but I think about making the fender longer sometimes...
