    What tank sealers work for you?

    Tank liners are for amateurs and hacks. Kickracing had it right, but after you clean the tank the best you can then you put an inline filter between it and the carb, preferably a filter with a removable and cleanable element. Then you just ride and periodically clean the filter out when it needs...

    Good Ol' BMX - many of our first 2 wheeled passions

    When I was a kid we all rode "stingray" style 20" bicycles as that was all there was besides the 10-speed racers we got when we got older and taller. We lived out in the country and rode and raced them anywhere we could. We built ramps with whatever boards we could find laying around and...

    Cafe racer from a $500 barn find Norton (pic heavy)

    Yes, thank you very much for sharing. I don't think anyone ever thought of making a featherbed-framed street-bike look like a Norton Manx before, or to put a Suzuki 4ls on one, especially with polished tanks, I have never seen such a thing! Such incredibly original thinking......

    1955 BSA A10 engine build

    Much more shiny than when you started. I was just wondering about a few things that I did not see in the thread above. First I was wondering what your valve-stem to guide clearance was, and second I was wondering what the clearance was between the timing-side crankshaft main journal and the...
