    24v LED headlight. Can it be converted to 12v?

    Yes. It will draw twice the amperage through a 12/24v converter. Which you will need.

    Average cost for welding on a hoop?

    400. Lol. Post above. Ya, sure, technically right if you were welding 3/8" material. With a garbage mig machine. Maybe. And there was real stress or pressure being put on it. My directions: Clean joint, no bevel, 1/8" gap and a mig will get full penetration. No plugs. Weld 1/4 turn at opposite...

    Dents in headers and VHT Flameproof paint

    Ok... dont take it to a muffler shop. Fill with water, freeze, repeat until straight as desired. Dents will cause turbulence in the flow where it is not desired, but most people wouldnt notice it as most aftermarket headers arent sized properly for the cam/compression/rev range. As far as the...

    1978 GS750 - Brat Tracker, First Bike

    Re: 1978 GS750 - Brat style, first bike Sweet bike man, I was gonna picture cut cafe mine, but decided against it cause I like the stock bodywork on the gs. Cut down the seat to match the bodywork better and clip ons or clubmans and a header, they look killer... IMHO Good luck on the build...

    Is my voltage regulator bad?

    Trying to figure out the random no start in my 81 xs11... Peeling apart circuits, voltage regulator draws ~.5v and is the only draw with the key off. Is this normal? It acts normal when the engine is running. Thanks.

    Changing the stock muffler?

    They usually pretty on the outside and seized solid on the inside, I havent had much luck getting apart old pipes without wrecking them, but you can always try... I think gs pipes are double walled too, just so you know.

    Intake valve removal issues on 78 cb550k

    You probably have mushroomed valve tips. If you can catch your fingernail on the tip, take a file and clean it up, DO NOT FORCE IT!!!! Good luck...

    Can a chopped front fender serve as a fork brace?

    Usually fenders have thicker material where they bolt to the forks, chopping up the fender shouldnt do much as far as the fork bracing ability. That being said, fenders offer little fork bracing...

    Dime City sent me...

    Stock gs750s have a tubular rear swingarm. Your forks also look to be shorter than a stocker, check google images for comparison... Also, stock rotors aren't drilled.

    Cool bike, nice stance, I'm in the process of doing one as well, but mines a lot more stock suspension wise than yours!

    "wasted spark"

    Thats how it works. Your bike uses 2 plugs per hole, and they both fire at the same time (compression stroke) and fire again on the exhaust stroke. The wasted spark thing is so you dont have to run a "distributor" of sorts, you can just run signal right to the coil and the byproduct is to have...
