I can't seem to put more than one item in the shopping cart at Old School Speed. If I pay for each item individually I get shipping tacked on to each one. I sent him an e-mail but no responce yet, it's been about five days. Has anyone used his site?

I have a set of mags that most of the finish has flaked off and the exposed aluminum is powdery. Are they worth refinishing and how would I go about it.

I just picked up a little Benelli/Wards Riverside 175. The piston is stuck and the crank is crunchy when i turn it. It will lift the barrel out of the block but the piston is really siezed. I can't find a replacement piston or bearings anywhere. What do shops do in this case? Cross reference...

If I was going to order new rims from Mikes, what width would I order. I don't think they are measured from the outside, and with tires on now I can't measure from the inside edges. I need measurements from both front and rear, thanks

I have a gas tank that has an inch of black varnish on the bottom and a little rust, but not much. I'm thinking of using brake cleaner or similar to dissolve the varnish. I'm going to use phosphoric acid to clean the rust but since the tank has been parkerized in the past i'm wondering if the...

I would like to know how you like them. Do you ride long distances or neighborhood cruising? high speed, wet/dry etc... maybe compare them to other vintage tires. One thing I've seen in pics is that they look dirty, like old dusty tires, maybe it's just the pics.

I've got a heap of clutch that's sitting here in a pile. It's been apart for a year and doesn't seem to want to go together. The friction plates don't want to go into the basket, did they swell up or something? The rubber rings must have shrunk, they seem useless. I can't find the...

I'm looking at mikes big bore kit bt I want my 256 style tensioner. Will it bolt in?

I watched one of Hugh's videos where he says he used a Heiden tuning big bore kit, is it the same as the one MikesXS is selling?:shrug:

With all the hardtailing going on I bet a few people have swingarms and all the parts for a disk brake bike. I would need the caliper and master cylinder also. PM me. close to Minneapolis would be a bonus as I'm a student and don't have a lot of money for shipping.
