First, get him a quality bicycle from a reputable bike shop. I did the same thing with a cruiser from Walmart and I broke frame welds after a few months. You can also check out gasbike.net as well for parts. There are several sites that cater to autocycles that include frames specific for this...

Ok. Inst his the whole purpose of dotheton? I mean, why else ould we go here other than bragging rights. Its to learn from others. Their mistakes, their successes. Ok. Not trying make this sound dickish. Just agreeing with ya. Seems some forget that they are here to learn. That being said. Could...

There is always auctions like ebay and such.

What kinda gas mileage do you get? That's awesome work btw. :D

I had a similiar issue when I purchased some rear lower control arms for my Jeep TJ. Back then, I had mailed out a money order and when I didn't receive my item or even a tracking number stating that the item had been shipped, I contacted the money order company to discover that the money order...

Length of Lever and the location of the fulcrum on the lever makes a difference. In the case of a kick start lever, fulcrum doesn't change. Extending the lever will provide less effort to do the same amount of work. Tell your friend it's all basic physics we learned as freshmen in high school.

The bike has 35K miles, 17K of which were on the bike when I bought it two years ago. I have done the oil changes and sta bile for the winter time, even though for the most part I operated in winter on clear roads. No blue smoke. LOL Hence why I posted on here before assuming.

Yes, there is oil in the airbox. I also noticed oil on the air filter as well. The engine currently will idle but choke out under throttle as well. Little history, the bike sat for about 6 weeks with less than a gallon in the tank (Not my doing, but someone who I thought was a brother) and it...

Hey guys, been a part of DTT for awhile now. And now I have a dilemma. I have a 2004 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic and twice now when the fuel ran low of a gallon or so, the engine would stall under throttle. Idle no problem for the most part. So, today I took the bike down to run some seafoam...

Go to a car junkyard. That's where I went to get my wire. Car wire harnesses are cheap and you get multiple colors to work with. I had to do this to a 81 KZ650 in which I had a hard time finding an original harness.

Guinness all the way! And any other ales thicker than pale.

Check out this link. It helps explain everything about MCs, RCs, and colors and patches. http://www.rcvsmc.net/index.html This link is posted on the MN Patriot Guard site in which I am a Patriot Guard Rider. Very good info. I also wear my patch only on PGR missions. Otherwise I ride w/o any...

That's purdy! Fantastic job! And that's an understatement! First awesome looking sporty that even I would consider owning!

As a form, start off with a foam block and shape it till it fits your application, then prepare that shape as your plug to form the glass.
