Hey guys, lately ive been watching alot of velocity tv, and it got me thinking, if had a classic car or jeep or whatever, to wich shop would you take it? I like the british guys, they make the car look and perform good while following the fsm to the letter and improving when they need to, so...

Heres my latest! Hehehehe 2006 TJ wrangler, 65th anniversary edition, with only 37,000 miles!!!

Whats the length between the legs in those?

You can use some wd40, scotchbite green pad, sand paper and some elbow grease, it should come out preatty good!

I had a similar issue, i just drop the disk at the machine shop so they can remove about 1.4mm from where it mounts on the wheel so it does not touch the caliper

If you just want to go for looks, get the outer spring cut one or to coils and put them with something like a gaiter on the bottom or something so it does look "functional"

Got it! Is there any process guide or info on how to align a wheel that is not oem? Like i align the sprocket first or the disk brake or how would the process go? Thanks!

i think i got a 77 SR500 Mag rear wheel, its 18X1.85, it came with a 38 sprocket when i took a closer look the sr500 rear disk, the disck touchs the caliper, the actual metal of the inside of the caliper rubs against the front of the disk itself. When i removed the disk the wheel spun freely...

I built and mount my electronics tray for my xs500, i cut all the parts drill everything but i dont have a welder so a friend weld it for me, then i painted it and put it on the bike!

Ok so i finally finish my 1978 XS500E top end rebuild, and was adjusting valves last night, the manual does not state what the piston position should be, i adjust them in the V mark at the advancer plate, at that postion all valves are closed, Thats the postion it says to put the crank while...

I got mixed up on my original post, i meant 14-15a instead of volt, factory it charges at 14-15a

This is the battery

I will be using a battery tender lithium battery 12v 10-14amps, the battery sady that the max charge rate is 10a, butmy xs500 charge rate is like 12-15a i think, so would i need another voltage refulator for just charging the battery? Or is it ok to use it like that?

Thanks guys! I think i got everything for the coversion, im using a xs400 rear wheel since i couldnt find a xs500 one, the rim is the same width at the front but if i use the propper tire i should be good, in going for the brat/tracker thing, the diameter of the bearings and everything lines up...
