    Rechop: The Lanesplitter Project

    It's amazing that such a subtle change could make such a big difference in the frame lines. That looks really good. Bet someone is going to offer a hardtail like that before long.

    Motorcycle Clasics E-zine

    I bought this particular motorcycle about 2 years ago and still have it. The mag is published about 3 miles from where I work. This is a cheap plug for a classic bike get together in Lawrence on the 3rd Saturday of the month during riding season in north Lawrence. Normally a lot of the guys that...

    Luthor's Build

    Machine shop time. There is nothing uglier to a mechanic than a broken off e-z out.

    Reasons not to rephase...

    For some reason, maybe just dumb luck, my stock unrestored '73 is noticeably smoother at 70 than it is at 55. Somewhere just north of 4,000 rpm it just settles in and smooths out. What I'm interested in is a big bang motor. Anyone out there have one?

    Mild Bratstyle Cafe Build (My 1st Bike)

    I like it. A bike you can actually ride without being all contorted or having your hands up above your head. There is nothing on the bike that you look at and wonder what the hell the builder was thinking of. Good job.

    16k and still counting!

    Absolutely. I know a guy who buys $17K shotguns. Just because I have a couple old Remington 870's doesn't make me any smarter than he is. In fact, he is obviously smarter than I am because he has made enough money to buy $17K shotguns.

    16k and still counting!

    When I say the title to the post I thought you meant 16k miles and I'm thinking "thats not so many". Silly me.

    grounding to front of bike- is that OK?

    I wouldn't want to use a path to ground through the contact surfaces of the neck bearings. Some of us are not even content unless the ground goes directly to the engine. IMHO of course.

    homemade Baffles for Short Pipes

    Good tip. Back in the day we would use the baffles with the beer can cuts in them and would keep straightening out the cuts until we got the sound we wanted.

    77 Cafe Project

    I cut mine off, shortened it, reshaped just a little and welded it back on.

    Born Free 5

    Ambitious undertaking, Alfredo. What's your route? For a bit of travel-on-old-motorcycle humor, google "cross-country honeymoon on 1973 hondas". It was a story in Motorcycle Classics some time back.

    Pocket Rocket - Build Thread

    Careful about getting any gasoline fumes around that water heater. Gasoline fumes are heavier than air and lay around on the floor about where the pilot light or ignitor live. Just a reminder.

    Compression release - Rare ?

    Which prompts another question. I have several late starters and the starter on the 73 sounds pretty bad. Can I put a later starter on my 73 or do I need to rebuild the spring on the original starter and put it back on? Sorry, didn't mean to hyjack the thread. Seemed like a good time to ask.

    Compression release - Rare ?

    I know they came on the '73's cause I've had two of them and they both have them. I'm pretty sure they made the starter better in '74 and did away with them.
