My wife and I both love Indian food and I’ve always wanted to learn how to cook it myself. After looking into it a bit I came to the conclusion that I needed a tandoor oven to do it right. So I built one! It’s based on a pretty common design that others have used. It’s a 20 gallon trash can...

So this isn't really new to me, I've actually had it for nearly 30 years. When I was but a lad 9 or 10, our neighbor saw that I had proclivity for mechanical things and gave me this mower to tinker with. I did get it running and actually made quite a bit of money with it mowing yards in the...

I’m at my wits end with the paint on this head. I’ve got 75% of it off but what’s left is clinging with a tenacity I’ve never encountered with paint. I’ve sandblasted, @Jim has sandblasted, I’ve soaked it over and over again in aircraft stripper. I’ve applied xylene. I cannot get what’s left of...

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, joyful kwanza, happy sameach! Forgive me if I forgot one or left anyone out. Bullet point being: joy to everyone this abnormally warm holiday season!

Anyone happen to know who’s bike this is? Are they a forum member? Just looking for some info on the seat. Looks like a selle giuliari seat. *edit*. owner found..

Looking to swap out the dual tube breather for an earlier single tube breather on my chopper.

Can anyone verify that the lower exhaust stay bolts right behind the bottom motor mount bot are 10mm? According to the Yam part# 90105-10058-00 (bolt part number) they're 10mm, I could have sworn they were 8mm. The tabs with the captured nuts have been cut off my chopper frame so I'm making...

Ok, the time has come for my 80G to get a new pair of shoes. I really wanted to get raised white letter tires, but it seems that hardly anyone is making them any more:mad:. I have Yokohama's front and back now, sooo that tells you how old my tires are.... Yokohama stopped making motorcycle tires...

Not looking for input on quality, It's Mike's and already know what to expect. Really just want to see if anyone has any pictures of their tubular fork brace being ran with a later style special front fender. I know its Mike's and its mostly overpriced Chinese junk but I really like they way the...

What regulator/rectifier is everyone running with stock charging system on TCI bikes? I'll be running an AGM battery. So many choices, I don't want to buy a piece of junk.

Anyone have a spare rear late shoe cam? Mines a lil twisted. Wheel/brake are off a Heritage.

Any and all musical instrument related talk is welcome here. Lets see those Guitars, banjos, basses, amps! @Rhy650 I'd love to know some more about that amp!

For those of you that have drilled your rotors. Are you chamfering with a countersink, or leaving the hole edges sharp? I know the holes serve to not only cool but remove embedded debris/material from the pads so chamfering seems counter productive. I'm getting really clean holes to begin with...

I'm soooooooo tired of cheap ratchet straps failing after a hand full of uses!:banghead: Anyone have any recommendations for medium duty straps that aren't total garbage? The last set of six I bought is down to 3, the handles literally just fold in half if you crank em down, these were not...

Just found this guy, he has loads of OEM style connectors. I just ordered the connectors for my gonzo and charging system from him. Prices are very fair. http://www.cycleterminal.com/

Proof that there’s a sucker born every minute. I’ve done a lot of welding, professionally and hobby. And the one thing I’ve NEVER thought to myself while welding is, gee I wish there was some way I could shine a 6w/250 lumen light at this 3000W arc… :lmao:

Has any one found or used a high temp self-etching primer on aluminum engine parts? Im getting ready to paint my cylinder black (ala Triumph cast iron cylinders) and am wondering if I need to use any kind of etching primer first? My success with painting aluminum engine parts in the past has...

Out for a ride the other day and the screws fell out of the face of my speedo :cussing:. So I had to open it up to put the screws back in. I know there are other threads where others have done the same but I thought I’d document what I did.

Wife and I went our local monthly motorcycle swap meet today. Not a single shred of Japanese stuff. A few British crumbs, and lots of junk taken off wrecked HD’s for %20 more than new price. But there were these two Bultaco’s. I think the Tracker might be a Track Master either way it’s a cool...

Ok, I know this has been talked about before. But from my searches it looks like its been a while so here goes. I'm looking for a set of small-medium bags for my 80G. Something I can toss over the seat or under it. I also have no desire to make my XS look like a heritage softail, so canvas or...
