Seems stupid for me to pay International mail to have them posted to the UK only for you to pay International rates to have them posted back to the US when you can probably obtain them cheaper localy. However if you feel the need to keep UPS in profit then I will at your cost post them to...

I have just bought a set of 8 adjusters from CB Performance in the US, so I now have a set of 4 surplus to requirements if any body here in the UK is interested in a set. They are advertised as "made in USA" as opposed to China so should be good quality I'm after £25 plus £2.50 postage, any...

Does any body have four of these for sale or would fancy going halves on a set of eight. Please take into account that I am in the UK for postage costs. They appear more readily available in the US so if anybody would be willing to source some for me I'll do them a paypal payment.

Seems like things come too easily to him - I would have ran and picked my bike up not walked away :wtf:

As Shakey says he has a very good reputation, my brother had some unleaded seats fit into a Triumph T140 head by them and the work seemed ok. You should be fine dealing with them :thumbsup:

I saw the for sale post shortly after it was posted and considered asking for a price to ship the ignition kit to the UK, but as I am still in the early throws of my build I decided not to bother. Now at that time there were no replys so I assumed both items were available, now to the point :-...

Way back in the early 70's when CB Radio started to get popular here in the UK I saw a picture of an American KW 18 wheeler with "The Prospector" on the hood bug deflector so I thought "thats cool" and ripped it off for my CB handle and so...

After trying to obtain a 1 53/64" plug unsuccessfully here in the UK I got a 46.5mm one which measured 1.846" over the outside edge of the cup. To fit it I have had to enlarge the hole slightly using a small flap wheel with wet & dry glass paper. Now the thing is being a bit heavy handed I took...

Hi, I'm after a 1 53/64" freeze plug to blank off the starter mounting hole in the lower case and I don't seem to be able to find anyone who stocks them in the UK they seem to be more of a US size. Is there anyone who has one on a shelf in the shed who would be willing to post one to me...

What did you do with the breathers on the carbs that usually go to the airbox etc.

Reading the updates of the jetting for the carbs with interest as I have a set of ER5 carbs on the shelf for my 77 project. What did you do with the breathers, mine have one on the carb body's which it looks from the pics you may have connected the rocker box somehow but theres also one at the...

Fact is even if the camera is fastened to his helmet with no shake you just can not ride something like that and keep your head smooth in relation to the bike movment, its a rigged vidio pure and simple

Would be more impressive if it wasn't CG check out the front wheel it never moves.

Has anybody had any experience fitting carbs from a Kawasaki ER5 (EX500 in the US) to the XS, they tell me its a fairly straight forward swap any body on here done it.
