Howdy All. I was thinking about 6V curb lights for lack of a better name. Would the yellow form the alt be enough? Would it hurt anything to draw from it constantly? Voltage will vary with RPMs I'm guessing, but what's the range from idle on up? Just pondering a use for it. Thanks. JD

It had a seat but obviously no longer. I'll use this pan. I have a deer hide for a cover. Question is seat foam? I have 3 seats I want to do, each with different pans, that's not the bother. I can't find definite answers about foam. Open cell, closed cell, layers, waterproof wrappings and...

Just got one of these today. Hope it works. Problem is chain alignment on the sporty. No good way to measure so it's by eye. same tires, but years apart. The XS has about 500mi on it, the sporty about 2000. just one season:( It's definitely off, per this doohickie. Anybody have a better way...

Good morning, day, night All :shrug: It's a Big site. :) Your preferences on connectors? Manufacturers? I've always leaned towards bullets. Any reason why not? Also, what's the best wire to use? Silicone wrapped, marine, I've seen tin coated...? No LEDs for me, 18ga throughout? Thinking crimp...

Stumbled across this today, looks like a great idea. Anybody have / use one?

Looking for a kickstand for my 75. Shipped to 12451 Thanks

Hoping someone can point me to a good compression tester that won't break the bank. I'll probably use it a dozen times in my life so it won't be abused, I just need a few good readings.

Just want to edumicate myself, I'm prepping a build, but this would add a lot of $ to it. I am a " spirited rider " and more at times. But I just don't get the electronic end of it. I'm going to rebuild a 75, lets call it stock for now, points and condenser. I'm not going to race the track, but...

Good evening, all, I was given a 02 Elantra from a friend (brother) of mine after catastrophic engine failure with my truck. Bummer. He replaced every sensor he could think of and looking at it I believe. The ECM is the likely culprit, usually seems to be fighting with its, self. but at times...

I have a late1975 and have seen a lot of 75s with the braced front fender but not mine. Is this a mid year change or a mod? I love the old school look and the sturdiness of it. Would I have to change forks for the lower mounts or is there a mod? Planning. Thanks

Good day all I changed a front spoked rim with a mag, probably in need of something with tread at the time. I changed the mag back to spokes (relaced by me, and it was true). It felt like I was driving a big heavy bagger (slow in the turns, exact same tires). What's the weight deference between...

Good day all, Has anyone configured mid and forward controls together? Any pics, plans or purchase options. I've found nothing so far. I cruse, where I want to lay back and also have spirited jaunts where I want to sit up and get on it, sometimes in the same run. Comfort for one, posture and...

Curious? They're tried and true, for me, but I don't see them much anymore. they last, wear like iron and they're sticky.

A lot of talk about vibrations, I've got a 75 she'll spin in a circle on the center stand revving but on the road no, I'm not gettin it? Maybe my ass is asleep. WTF?

Thank you for your time. Simply put I've got 1000lbs in a 5 pound sac. Outdoors under a lean to, it's 17X14 but the only wall is on the house, and it has a door and window, way limited space. I can 5S somethings into storage but still need most to keep the rest of the world turning. I need some...

Tons of tools, lots of stock. limited space, working outside under a lean-to. I can't be the only one with this problem. over 50+ years I've gathered a lot of tools and all the other stuff that goes along with cars and bikes. specialty tools and just run of the mill extras that you use once...

Good day to All. I was gifted a 75 XS650B (Thumper) from my brother after a wreck with my kaw in 1987. Love this bike and for years we were inseparable, (Daily Driver) even rode through a few winters with her. She's been sitting for 5 years now, rode hard and put away wet. They are fairly rare...
