Looking for a clutch basket in good shape. No broken fins or springs or anything like that. Let me know if anyone has one they can spare for some cash. Thanks!

With great sadness I am thinking about selling my bike to catch up on things. I have been through every nut and bolt on this thing at least twice. It's got about 3k on the bike and much lower on the multiple rebuilds that I have been through the motor and drivetrain. It's no longer a...

I am very intimate with my bike, as some of you may know. Moved from Virginia to LA a few months ago and damn if my shifting problem doesn't annoy the absolute shit our of me. When I rev quick, it will lock in a gear or get to the point where I can't shift out of the gear it gets stuck on...

Moving to the west coast and storage facilities are $$$. Anyone living out in the LA/West LA area with some garage space? Anyone know of an affordable place I can park these bikes? Moving three bikes and living in a furnished apartment for two months with no storage. I know this is not in the...

Will be coming all the way from the east coast. Look to meetup with some guys from the forum. Anyone going?

I have a bunch of questions about this coil as I think mine is blown. Was running just fine cruising down the road then clunk. Was only running on one cylinder. I pulled the plug wire from the left side and the bike ran the exact same. So, that told me it was dead. Friend tried to test the spark...

Some of you might know that I have spent some time rebuilding my motor, running my motor, rebuilding my motor, running my motor and rebuilding my motor over again. It's been a few years since I jumped on here knowing absolutely nothing (haven't come far from that btw) and really made an effort...

So. I've got a strange problem. I ride the bike and it shifts fine for about 5-10 minutes. Then ill downshift at a stop light and sometimes it won't go into first again. It will go to neutral and second, sometimes to third from second. But never back to first of forth and fifth. When I try and...

To retard the pamco ignition, one would just turn the pickup plate clockwise. Correct?

I have some BS34s on the bike now and I have the choke slide mechanism, just not the lever that holds it out. Meaning, when sitting on the bike I can pull the choke out to my left, but it has no mechanism to hold it out to the left. No button or anything. Looking to make a purchase so I don't...

Just finished up my rephase project, got everything tightened up and took it for about 10 miles. Was riding at night with the headlight on and it cut out around the 7 mile mark at a stoplight. I turned all the lights off and was able to kick it to run, but it would only run at about half speed...

Need to make a custom throttle cable and unfortunately I misjudged the length on my first try. I need to buy some more cable ends to give it another go, but there are so many fricking sizes?!?! Anyone know the size for a Bs34 carb set?

Just got the bike fired up, finally ;), and the left side is backfiring a little every so often. It's hiccuping and firing in the filter on the #1 cylinder. I moved the timing back clockwise about one millimeter and it seems much better. Also, tried syncing the carbs a little closer. Not sure...

There is a lot of talk about Harleys vs Japanese bikes and culture vs culture. I just thought this clip from "Pray For Me" where Jeff Decker makes the comparison to cowboys, seems pretty relevant. Thought the forum might enjoy it. Apologies for the crappy video/audio.

I have installed the 277 Pamco kit on my bike. During the installation I didn't use the new copper spacers because my cam had the old ones intact. Now, I have everything bolted in place, but I can move the whole advance rod assembly from side to side about 1-2mm. Is this normal or is something off?

I just wanted to take some time out to say how much I appreciate this forum and the people in it. Over the years that I have caught the xsBug, I have spent countless hours on this site. Bugging people for tips and parts. I am continually impressed with this place. I know this is the case for a...

When removing my clutch basket I broke a tooth off to it. Snapped cleanly off. I wedged a wooden handled brush in between two teeth to get the nut off. Anyhow, then I was left with a clutch basket minus one tooth. I reached out to the forum and was able to pick up another clutch basket in trade...

I am thinking about undertaking the creation of an ultrasonic cleaning machine. I have seen a lot of web articles (like this one) that suggest the use of a linear amplifier, some ultrasonic transducers, a computer sound card and some RCA cables. I am posting here, because I just don't...

So, I am sure a couple of you have been thinking (or taken part in) about a rephase. I have decided, after all the questions and answers on this thread to jump in. My goal is to be able to have a smoother running cruiser. Something that will take me past my current 4.5k vibratory limit. I just...
