    Foot Pegs vs FloorBoards

    Having never been real happy with the homemade forward controls I built for my Softail after being left turned by a lil ol' lady years ago (another story for another time...lol) I figured I'd give a set of floorboards a try. As Mailman said in his thread on his spiffy new ride, the ability to...

    Not so Special Mild Resto

    Followed me home so I guess I gotta keep it.... The "plan" (every tall tale has to start somewhere) is a solid running, decent looking rider. Go through all the usual suspects, brakes, carbs, harness...and so on. Fix what needs fixin', replace consumables, clean 'er up good and TRY to keep...

    XS400/650 Neck Swap?

    Viable option? Not worth the hassle? Tilting at windmills? Got an extra un-titled frame in a parts grab a while back. Ran across this on CL and thought might be just as far ahead as dealing with the Secretary of State office getting a lost title...

    Other People's Projects (Boardtracker Replica)

    Don't even ask.... ....saw this posted on CL this morning and thought "Well I need that" :rolleyes: Just in the "proof of concept" phase but for some reason it grabbed my attention. Besides the custom frame jig came with a set of blueprints for the actual build.... If nothing else the 5hp...

    Sold / Found / Inactive - 36 Tooth Cam Sprocket

    Longshot but worth a try. Anybody got a 36 tooth cam sprocket kickin' around. Wanting to put a 256 cam in my 447 motor and thought if I could find just a sprocket I wouldn't have to strip a perfectly good cam. Loose sprocket or a junk cam would work. TIA

    Procrastination is a Good Thing

Gov. just came on and issued her "official" stay at home order (gee, didn't see that coming!) effective 12:01 tonight thru Apr. 13th. Got plenty of stuff around here to keep me busy for...
