I must have been anticipating your reply. Oddly enough I watched a video earlier today and K&L supply was mentioned and strongly recommended. Better yet, I tried my hand at re-seating my needle valves and sure enough, fixed them right up. Bench tested good but I'll hold judgment until they're...

Does anyone have working a set of float needle valves and seats new or otherwise for my 78 Special? I am trying to avoid MikesXS until I have a bigger order. Please contact me if so. Thanks!

Well I have one but I assume road rash is a deal breaker lol. Sorry man, good luck in finding one.

I have one. Give me a few to check the condition and I'll report back.

I am in desperate need of a pair of diaphragm springs for my 78 special BS38's. Research tells me there are two different lengths and if I am correct I need the 4.125" ones. Somehow I misplaced mine and they are the only thing keeping me from running. My ignorance is maddening lol! If you have...

Thanks for the reply, Leo. I'm starting from scratch and figured a continuous ground wire couldn't hurt. Just wasn't sure if it was necessary in my application. Thanks again.

I have a slightly related question. When wiring a new build from scratch, are you guys doing up say a front and rear chassis ground or pulling a main ground wire front to back and tieing grounds into it along the way? I am planning out my hardtail wiring and debating on whether or not I'll weld...

Thanks for the offer Rich but I haven't even considered MikesXS :doh: Thanks, Gary. I think I'll go with new and save myself some polishing time. Thanks again for the offer. :cheers:

I am looking for a complete brake rod with all/most hardware. Please let me know what you have. Thanks!

Package arrived today. Thanks for the great deal and good luck with the move. Cheers!

Did this exact procedure this morning. Spun it on the belt sander a few times to get it to where it needed to be, added a little gasket maker and knocked it in. Don't know if you have an auto parts store local but I used Dorman 555-083 and cost every bit of .89 cents.

Hi all, I am looking to purchase a capacitor to run and am having trouble finding info regarding what size (uF) I'll need. Seems like a lot of people are running the Sparx cap with good luck, anyone know what size (uF) it is? There is a review on Lowbrow I believe that mentions it only being...

I am looking for a vintage Washington State plate for my 650. Needs to be from 1978. I know it's a tall order but you never know, thanks!

Hey Jimmy, did you get a chance to ship?
