I finally got a set of 15" apes from TC Bros, and I'm having the cables made on Monday. Does anybody here run 15's? I'm not sure how much longer I should go with the cables. TC Bros sells a set that are 5 inches over, it looks like I'll need more than that but I could be wrong. Just don't want...

Whats up guys, it's been a while but I finally finished my project. I've been riding a lot lately and I've made the decision to switch from my drags to a set of apes. I'm a tall guy so I'm thinking of running either 15" or 18" (because those are the biggest sizes I can find in 7/8). I found the...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody here has installed an HID headlight with the stock headlight bucket. I was going to get the halogen kit from Mikes, but then I did some research and I'm not positive my charging system can handle it. HID would be the way to go, but the headlight bucket is...

Ok, so I'm still trying to figure out some tail light and bracket ideas. I've been looking online and there are so many options, only problem is I can't find any pictures to see what they actually look like on a bike. I'm leaning towards the "Fuck U" Model A light and license bracket kit from...

Ok, so I had the bike running decent. From half throttle on it ran great, but below half throttle it bogged a little bit.. So I went up 1 on the pilot. Fired right up and ran great. I adjusted the mixture screw a little bit and took it out for a ride. Got back and let it idle while I did a...

I just bought the Mikes replacement sump filter and it seems like its a little bigger than the original one. I've been trying for over an hour to get it to fit up in without putting a hole in the filter. Its almost like I have to pull the kickstand off to get this one in, where as the other one...

Well I'm finally in the stage of my build where its time to hang a license plate and tail light. I've been racking my brain about how I'm going to weld on tabs to bolt them to and still have enough room to avoid the chain slap... And I can't mount it on the opposite side because I rigged up a...

Ok guys, another little problem. Well when the bike it running and I put it into gear, it doesn't stall it just kind of want to pull from me. Not enough to actually move me, but if I strattle the bike it will actually pull away. I also couldn't get it into neutral at that point. I adjusted the...

Hey guys. Well the build is almost done. I just need to finish painting the frame and repaint the tank... maybe some exhaust wrap and hopefuly get the headlight working. I figured Id post a walk around video of it since you guys practically built the bike for me haha. Feedback is welcome. Thanks...

Ok, so I guess my bike learned a couple magic tricks over the weekend. Cleaning the points fixed my weak spark issue, now on to more problems. So when the bike is running it idles fine, throttle response seems ok. But when you turn the wheel to the right, and only the right, the engine revs up...

I finally bought the bike I'm going to use for my first chopper build, a 79 xs650. I decided I'm going with the TC Bro's weld on hardtail... I don't really like the ride height (5 inches), but it's the cheapest and I hear good things about their products. After that, I plan on raking the neck...

I'm about to buy a 75 with 4 inch extended forks for a winter project. I know I'll have to rake it to even it out, but I've never actually raked a bike... so I was hoping I wouldn't have to cut the neck and I could just throw on a set of triple tree's. Was wondering if anybody could run me...
