This is the flanged aluminum rim. Please let me know if you have one and what you would need to part with it. Thanks, JB:thumbsup:

Mikes is out of stock on the rim I need, but has the same rim in stock in black. Since it can be a bit of a guessing game when they get stuff back in stock, I thought about buying the black rim and stripping it. Has anyone done this with any luck? What did you use to get it to bare aluminum...

I have several parts from a 1981 Special II. While some of these items aren't mileage dependant, they all came off a bike with less than 800 original miles. I've made my best guess at fair prices, but I'm no expert. If something is out of line, make me a fair offer. Complete exhaust with...

I'm looking for a stock, or aftermarket, shouldered aluminum rear rim, 2.15 x 18. Please let me know what you've got and what you need for it. Thanks.

I plan on running an 18" rear wheel, 21" front wheel, forks lowered about 2" ( I just like the way the lowered forks look), and I'd like the lower frame rails to sit more or less parallel with the ground. I'm planning on high pipes, so exhaust clearance is not a big concern, but I want enough...

My son is getting his frame ready to install his David Bird hardtail. One of the many pieces that has to come off is the bracket on the bend of the backbone that held the top two support tubes - see picture. Any tips on a good way to remove this bracket? Obviously, we need to be careful and not...

Hooked up jumper cables to the new bike, and even with carbs pouring gas EVERYWHERE, she runs!...not well, but hopefully a great carb cleaning will take care of that. There does seem to be some issues from siiting for years unused. First, the clutch seems to be locked up tight. Things roll free...

We already had one 81, which my son was quick to claim. I picked up another today and am looking forward to he and I building these together. Today's find - or at least the story - is a 1981 with spoke wheels and under 800 orginal miles. I have the title from the original owner who was an older...

Going to look at a non-running bike tomorrow morning. Went by Autozone and borrowed a compression tester. Thought I'd try it out on our XS that runs very well (but is currently almost completely disassembled). Pulled plugs, coil is already removed so no need to ground wires, held carb slides...

My son and I found a 81 that he has already laid claim to and started disassembling for a bobber build. We're hoping to have a little father/son biker build off and end up with bikes we can ride together this Spring. As most of you already know, finding the bikes is not easy. If anyone has a...

My son and I are looking at a special that, of course, has the mag wheels. We are interested in building a bobber but would prefer spoked wheels. Do people have much interest in the mag wheels or show interest in trading their spoked wheels for mag wheels? We're just trying to work within our...
