One of the best things about all of these old rice bikes is that they're cheap and adaptable to many looks, This ones still way under a grand....I've been riding it daily , uses no gas and runs like a raped ape

Southern CT here,...

thanks, I'm kinda anti-hardtail....it's so over done that it's starting to look corny to me...... they're like assholes and bellybuttons....everyone's got one.and I like the way it sounds with no pipes though those long pipes would look pretty sweet. Riding this is like riding the old rupp I...

Well, My cafe is somewhat disassembled for a complete re-vamp (one off tank and seat being made by a local fabricator) AND SOME OTHER CHANGES. I acquired another 78 xs for nothing, got it running and did this to it so I have something to ride this summer. I've done nothing to the Norton but look...

Any ideas what my options are for fixing a stripped petcock bung? Helicoil my only option?

Yeah, I did that....no dice......I have some extra shocks but can't seem to get one out of those either

Forget who's bike it is but spotted it in the Horse, small displacement Honda, red and black....posted a video of it here too...you know who you are.....cool lookin bike....now it's officially famous too!!!

awesome find...old mx bikes are addictive....your gonna be surprised at how much sack that thing has and how diff the powerband is on older mx bikes.....they're either idling or full blast.......I feel like a bandana tied to the handlebars on my Husky

I'm in connecticut.....got any pix of them?

thanks canada dan, that was the information I was looking for....I by no means plan on running with no mufflers....I was simply wondering if it would lean the bike out...my bike is cold blooded and runs on the lean side no matter what....just wanted to know if running free flowing pipes would...
