    For my next dumb idea… a taste of Italy

    Well it’s not an XS but that doesn’t seem to bother most people here… Was contacted by a friend who had a Lambretta that I “needed”. I’ve been searching for a series 2 (this is a 1959) for quite some time and this one kinda dropped into my lap. It was a high dollar build, about 20k (yup, you...

    Battery terminal quick disconnect

    I’m tired of dead batteries and I don’t really like the idea of leaving a battery tender plugged in all the time. Sooo a quick disconnect seems like a good option to keep ‘em from dying so quickly. Anyone running one? I see the standard ones for sale online and just wondering if anyone has...

    Question about coil resistance

    My cb500 has sat for about a year. Getting ready to sell it. Wheel it outta the shed. Doesn’t wanna start, when it does, runs like a dog. Go through the carbs, no real gain. Test coils, right side has resistance in spec, fires with good spark. Left side, I get no reading at all, primary...

    Looking for a chain guard for an 81 special - I believe anything 74 onward should work. A chrome one in fairly good condition. Doesn’t need to be pristine, but not looking for pitted or rusted or acid splashed. I know they make repops but I figured I’d ask here first.

    I proposed this question in my build thread but got crickets, thought maybe a specific general thread may bring about an answer. Ok so I’ve run into a little bit of a snag when mounting up my dual discs. It seem the front wheel sits about .050 further to 1 side than the other. Now that...
