chopper

Hey guys, Just messing around with some parts n my brother and this is where we ended up. Can't wait to get a proper roller. ill post more photos as it gets on abit.

My bike is a 1980SG(I say SG due to the vin 2FO-210285) and it had brass floats. I replaced them with Plastic ones from MikesXS. I've done the research here and in my books but cant figure the right height for these . Is it 27.3mm or 22mm ??? I think this was a weird year for these bikes. Am I...

Can someone plz tell me how to install these ? I have a 1980 with BS34's. None of my books say how to do this . The bearing is very small as is the spring . HELP

Here is my 75' xs650. Finally complete but still not road worthy. Has Pamco igniton,brand new rotor from TCbros,DNA risers and springer -2,TCbros hardtail,21" Harley front and stock 18" rear,oil cooler,Joe wise guy pipes and 2 into 1 intake. Bike starts right up but revs high after...

So I bought this headlight Switch/Kill Switch and having some issues. The kill switch part has two wires (black & white) and I hooked it up and got nothing . It makes contact when you push the button. You would think it should break the contact (kill) but it is opposite. Is this a ground kill...

Hey guys. I need some help plz. I have a 3 position deluxe key switch I bought from Lowbrow and on the back it has IG,B,and L. If i'm right those stand for Ignition, ground(B), and Lights. Am I right ?? I want to be able to start the bike with lights off. When you turn the key on with this...

Alright so i bought this frame and motor a little bit ago. I'm not supposed to be touching it yet cause im still finishing off a honda but ... . . you know. I didn't hardtail it. Bought it like that. What i want to do next though is cut out some of the 'junk' near the neck stem to make it...

while the fame and tins are out getting painted i decided to give the engine a little bit i sprocket cut all the cooling fins, polished all the covers, and installed a full spike package the frame should be back in on thursday so i hope to have the bike back together in another week or so...

Ok.... So maybe I lied a little..... However, anyone ever notice how Travis doesn't have a build thread? Well I did... Almost 2 years ago whenever I joined..... I have been harping him ever since. So now I am officially starting a campaign for him to post one. He's probably going to hate...

81 pod filters, open pipes. 140 mains stock pilots at 42.5. mix screws at 3 out Took it for its first ride today. Starts up on the first kick, new plugs, fuel line, fuel filter. Comes off idle pretty smooth- idle is pretty smooth too. seems when I get to about 1/2 or maybe a little past the...

Quick question, I built my chopper over the winter and just got around to getting it out and about, (had a lot of minor bugs, and the weather sucks in MN), I'm getting what sounds to be a rattle of sorts, and kind of a little heavier vibration right around the 55mph mark.. You guys think it's...

Hey, i know its been posted on here before but i cannot find it. Anyone know where i can get some cheap as crimp connectors in bulk? Someone posted an asian site i think once and it listed every kind of connector youd want. Thats what im after. Its stupid ridiculous how hard it is to find this...

I'm really an idiot when it comes to electrical. Even when reading the techs I still not quite sure where to touch the red and where to touch the black to test my alt/stator and coil and do I have the key on or off? Anybody want to give a charging test for dummies/retards? Running a pamco...

for those of you familiar with NY state laws... which side is the legal side to have my license plate/brake/running light attached? I've been told it's only legal on the left, and I currently have it mounted on the right... clueless... anyone have a quick answer for me? Thanks a bunch in...

I've read numerous posts and different forums but the info seems per each persons bike so: I've been working on a chopper project and I'm having problems. I running a 2 into 1 intake with a mikuni 38 carb with a 190 main and 25 pilot, it has a pamco ignition, a brand new battery. It will...

Hi guys, was wondering if someone could possibly look at this re-working I have done of one of the diagrams that's in the big "some wiring diagrams" thread? I've deleted a bunch of stuff. The parts I'm most concerned with are the connections from key switch to throttle housing to starter...

ok to start, im completely lost on this one. I completely cleaned teh carbs, and i mean completely! before cleaning it only ran on the rt cylinder, after cleaning it ran beautifuly on both, and all of a sudden it only runs on the left....... If i plug the air jet on the carb mouth with my...

So a friend of mine convinced me I needed to build a bike. Found someones basket case so I wasn't chopping anything too nice. :D Hoping to have this ride-able by next summer. Got a clear open title on a 81 SH with matching motor. Getting ready to rebuild the carbs and gonna pull the motor...

OK hit me with what ya think. I currently have a Sporty tank on the build, but I'm really thinking of switching to a different Paughco tank. I think the curves are better on the Paughco and flow with the bike better, but I'm open to hear a few opinions on this one. Current Sporty tank...

For you guys that went to a hardtail, where did you mount the starter relay? Does it need to be inside an electrics box or did you mount it out in the open? I know the stock location was behind a side cover and protected, but I'm hoping to keep it down low near the starter and keep the battery...
