Check to see if the little tab under the hand brake lever is snapped off. If you recently removed the master cylinder, it's likely that it broke off. It's kinda hard to explain., but the tab is...

there's a thread that was recently posted about this. i don't remember if they made it a six speed or not, but you can certainly do it. might be a little spendy if you're not gonna do it yourself,...

This is one of my most favorite sportys of all time. I keep a pic of it on my hard drive for inspiration. I love how simple it is. I hate when everyone takes it over the top. This is perfect.

that looks so much better! this is a great looking bike. i love it.

Who made that tank? Is that some of Rene's handy work? I'm diggin' the whole bike. I love the bars. Nice and simple. I gotta get my cash rounded up for him to make me a tank.

I would agree that the top of the frame is what keeps the hardtail from being a bolt on. their are a lot of weld on hardtails that will let you keep the motor mount, even on the above mentioned...

Run it. There'll be a lot more on the way if you're riding it.

All this info is great! I used rivots as well. I got a cheap rivot tool from harbor freight. I used the camping mat that is sold at superstores, but ended up just gluing the vinyl to the metal. I...

#2 or #3. #1 is too big. just my .02, but you asked.

might want to check the rubber diaphragm in the top as well. mine has a slight tear in it, and it would bog down when i gave it juice. it was hard to keep alive at stoplights, but not at first. ...

i almost picked up a gopro camera last week. i had to buy a new microwave, and walked by the display on the way. they come with lots of mounting doo-hickies. they're pretty affordable. if my life...

I have some cheap calipers that i got from harbor freight for this kind of stuff. or...just google it.

use a long sort-of flexible something that has a small ball of tape on the end. it may not be magnetic, but i bet it will stick to tape. i'd use duct tape or masking tape. or you can continue to...

I used a bunch of nuts on my RD tank. it worked great.

let's make it taller, and then we should derake it. maybe 24-26 degrees? we could put some clip on bars somewhere on the springer down low. then we could put a sissy bar on it that is the same...

just get a lowering kit for the forks. super easy to install. then you can run whatever size you want. you'll certainly need something with 1" bearings, and you might need to make your own spacers.

yep...too lean. chalky plugs are bad. black oily plugs are bad. you're gonna have to richen it up a bit.

This needs to happen. I can't weld for shit, and I don't have the coin for someone to widen my tunnel. The 48 tank is okay, but I'm not spending that kinda cash and then pay to have the fuel...

did you just cover with powder and bake it with the bearings in?

Need to do something about a tag & light mount. My broke ass sure aint droppin no hundo on one either. made up this template.


do you live in a state that requires it be horizontal? you could...

I think you're better off just getting a fender and mounting it to the swingarm as well. you can get a fender on the cheap, and if you've got someone with welding skils (your father, or whoever you...

rear #3 and side #1. just my opinion.

I have a 140 on my 16x3 rim. it fits fine. i might even jump up to a 150 next time. i have an 05, so there might be a difference in clearance. i'm assuming your bike is a chain drive (i only...

i've seen several guys do this. some guys will run on invader and one spoke. i'm assuming it because they used what they had? some sportsters come with a solid mag on the rear and a spoke up...

or, you could build one. made my seat, and i love it. bought a cheap piece of diamond plate ($6) and used some vinyl to cover it. i love it. you'll love it if you build it. give it a shot.
