Hey gang. My fiancée knocked it out of the park this year and bought me a TIG welder for Christmas. I have "some" experience with TIG, but realistically I am starting from scratch. So, I'm wondering if anyone has a "tried and trusted" resource for TIG settings, tips, tricks etc. My machine is...

I found a HHB system online for a great price, so decided to pull the trigger. As such, the complete system off my 81 is up for grabs. includes stator, rotor, coil, all stock wiring and a brand new TC Bros "chopper wiring kit". No idea what the parts are worth, but the harness was $40USD, so...

I figured I'd post this as a separate thread, rather than in my build, as others may find it helpful. I am wondering what kickstand people are using for kick-start applications, most notably (but not exclusively) on a hard-tailed frame. The TC Bros unit looks good, but it says right on the site...

Not sure if this is better in here, or in the lathe thread, but figured I would start here. I'm putting Harley wheels on my '81 chop, and I'm going to need some custom spacers made. I'll probably need 3 per wheel, in 17 and 20MM ID. Lengths are TBD, based on proper spacing, but wondering if...

Have a brand new Biltwell Keystone 7/8" bar for sale. Still in the original cloth sleeve. black lowbrow sells them for $120USD plus shipping. Asking $90USD shipped NOTE: I am in Canada, so there may be customs fees. If you are in Canada as well price is $120 CAD shipped.

Like many, I am building up a project and in lieu of asking multiple questions in multiple posts, I figured it is easiest to have a single thread. Basic story, I wanted to build one of these for years and finally had one fall into my lap. I'm aware that cutting up a good bike would be...

The eventual plan is to run aftermarket spoked wheels front and rear, but in the interim I'm hunting for a stock disc rear mag wheel so i can get the brake setup fabricated on my '81 hard tail. Doesnt need to be pretty! I'm in Calgary, AB, Canada, which makes shipping it from the US a bit...

Not sure if these posts are allowed/appreciated, but wanted to give kudos to Pandemonium for the customer service I received. Living in Canada, it can be a total nightmare getting parts shipped. Shipping rates are at ridiculous premiums, and our customs process often leads to brokerage charges...

I searched and read the previous posts, but looking for more current information. I'm going with a rear disc on my '81 project, and need to update my mid-controls. Jumpstreet made the best kit I have seen, but they seem to have closed up shop. Does anyone know of a current supplier of a good...

I did a search and didn't find anything. I already have my flame suit on, so I'm ready for ridicule, but all my previous drum experience has been with vintage VW hydraulic drums so this new to me. On the rear drum, can the actuator arm work in either direction? I know it should pull, and it...

Hey, Just welded up my david bird hardtail (straight style) that has been collecting dust for several years. Does anyone know if they require additional or modified wheel spacers? The bike was disassembled when I got it, and all the wheel spacers were supposedly in the same ziplock, but the...

Hey All, I have an '80 XS650 Special that's being built into a bob, and subsequently have all the original parts sitting in boxes. I am not looking to get much for any of them, but would rather they be used than sit around here and collect dust. the frame, fork, wheels and engine are NOT for...
