    Just my opinion, but I think a taillight like this would look fantastic on the bike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok, needle bearings it is then. Our only problem is we cannot find a sleeve anywhere. Every site I've checked says they aren't available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Okay, so I'm at the point where I just need to ask for help. My dad and I have been trying to figure out the easiest or cheapest way to solve our swingarm bearing problem. All of the needle bearings and the sleeve are shot. It looks like just replacing them would be around $50, but I also see a...

    Hahaha, perfect analogy...see what I did there? And thanks for that link, my dad was the one that looked and I never bother to double check. Definitely what we will be doing. A gs1100 swap does look pretty tasty though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Welp, upon investigation, dad found that the swing arm bearings are shot and apparently obsolete. He found a guy in England making reproductions but they're going to be ~$100 for the set. Anyone have other options? Would it possible to convert to bushings like the other models (mine is a B)? I...

    Will do, thanks for the tip. This is just going to be a cruiser, it's my first street bike and I just plan on enjoying nice weather with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gotcha. I will see how they hold up once I put the bike together. No offense, but I've had plenty of experience with forum users who say a certain part will fail immediately and I'll die and take out a school bus with me, and I've been just fine. Now that I know it is a subpar fabrication, I...

    What is wrong with the fabrication? I have very little fab experience so I'm quite ignorant when it comes to this. All of the reviews on their site were great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dads been getting some work done while I'm away. He got the swing arm painted and will be going through the bearings one of these days. The PO was kind enough to press in new bearings, but he never greased them. Dads going to see what can be used still. After that it's reassembly to get a nice...

    Brown Santa has arrived. First part, which is arguably the most important: Second, DCC cafe clubman bars. I definitely wanted clubman bars, but I was afraid the traditional ones may drop too low. These cafe bars only drop about half as much. Should be perfect. And finally, legendary...
