you can take a punch and hammer the center of each snap on the bubble shields snap rivets, will usually tighten it back down. mine does the same thing occasionally.

have a brand new pair of Icon Elsinore boots in oiled brown, amazing boots but got them as a gift and black goes much better with my wardrobe. size 9.5, i wear a 10 normally but you usually want a half size smaller since theyll break in, they fit fantastic, look rad and mine are new in box...

figured out it was was flasher dummy light causing all signals to ground together, removed the bulb and everything works fine. also youll need an LED specific flasher, much easier and plug and play as opposed to getting caught up in resistors and doing a lot of splicing.

Im actually dealing with about the same thing right now, I have a W650 and installed the k&s bar end led flashers, I also have the k&s flasher relay they say to use, which is 3 prong with 3 wire on the harness clip and it also came with a seperate wire that can be a bolt down ground wire, my...

not meaning to be a douche post of the day, the front tire is on backwards.

Any of yall have a good one stop shop for getting a new tensioner, gaskets, and rings?

the only thing i worry about with this fix is getting swarf into the top end, besides my compression isnt stellar either. figure i might as well go all out.

i found a head locally for $20, everything looks good on it, best case id like to re-ring the top end, new tensioner ect. im going to put together a shopping list and probably just do it myself.

sometimes owning a vintage bike you inherit 40+ years of other peoples fuck ups, which im dealing wih right now on my CL, the threads on the LH cylinder plug hole finally gave way, im going over my options and figuring out what i want to do with it. should i scrap the head, locate a new one and...

After I pick up a new guitar amp the next plan is to get some progressives on the back (shocks that are on there are new but might as well be a hardtail) and replacing the emgo pipes with those rad DCC stainless ones or see if a local fab shop can do a 2-1 scrambler style high pipe for me.

Agreed, honestly I prefer a well loved ratty bike over something fancy, I live in a city with year round riding so bikes can get beat up, the plan with the other tank is bare (waxed or cleared) metal with a slight patina and black down the top, the headlight bucket in luckily metal and may get...

long time with no updates, new additions are all the cables replaced, replaced the stock blown out rear suspension with not so great DCC/Ebay shocks, have progressives on order. cut down the rear fender a little, installed a Lucas style LED tail light, and mainly just little things you cant see...

Re: Gentlemen's CB250 Brat Tracker what silencers did you go with?

yeah, im hoping they maybe soften up a bit, but found out today i can get progressives for cost so might just pick those up. the quality on the cheapies seems nice, but the ride is harsh.

are those the emgo/ebay/DCC cheapy shocks? how stiff are they? i picked up a set from some dude on CL locally he ended up not using on a build, the bushings were very hard to get in right and they only really compress when i have a passenger. just seeing if thats how they generally are.
