We (Oklahoma Honda-Suzuki) sell tires cheaper than any of the places mentioned. They all sell at retail price, we sell them at 20% off. Sometimes Kirk does...
... Thanks for your suggestions,guys. I wanted to have a matched set,but it looks like it will be a Michelin Gazelle front,and an IRC NR21 rear (only combo I...
WHAT!? not a harley in the bunch? imagine that,a man that dont have to have THAT status,of I'VE GOT A HARLEY-DAVIDSON,SOOOO YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO ME!...
<cut> ... That combo is what I run. The Michelin looks like a modern tire up front. That combo works well for the 200 miles I have on it. I am NOT an...
Not sure what problem you have with Harley? I have rode all kinds of bikes and currently have a Harley for my long rides and my little Twinstar for short...
 Thank you,and as for the HARLEY comment,it was meant for any/evryone that HAS to think that owning one makes you a 'LITTLE' bit better than the rest of us...
I finally decided enough is enough and ponied up $100 to get a rack off eBay. Supposedly from another 1980 Twinstar, the rack does not fit. It is either the...
I don't understand the rain thing. Ive rode in the rain and sleet (prayed that the sleet would melt when it hit the rode). As for the price when i purchased my...
For my part, I do take the 3D emblem off the fuel tank - just small screws hold it in place. As for the side covers, I used them as a bit of a testbed for...
I was not really asking about the emblem, I can unscrew that too. What I wanted to know is if you spray over the stripes or somehow scratch/soak them off....
Mike, I've painted a couple of bikes so far. The stripes are typically decals applied over the color coat then sprayed over with clear coat. I find it best to...
I've painted numerous bikes over the years, and I usually strip all the paint off before repainting them. This allows me to fix any dings or imperfections...
There is a cool ride called the Lake Erie Loop - check youtube. Some of the Texas riders are looking to do a similar ride in Texas. It will be for 200cc...
Hi, I'm new to the group and just purchased a 78 CM185T with out a gas cap. Anyone have a spare to sell or know of where I can get one, or know of an...
I like the Michelin Gazelle on the front and an IRC on the back. We just had a thread on new tires - scroll down a page and you might see what most of us are...
I finally remembered to check on gas caps from Honda, at this time they have been discontinued. Often this means they are waiting for enough demand to justify...
The CT90 has 2.75X17 on front and back. A lot of the ct guys run oversized 3X17 which is the same size as our Twinstar front. I would consider a Postie tire...
Do any of you high mileage guys have bronze bushing or has the standard bushings lasted? I'm guessing you mean swingarm bushings, I have not replaced the...
I was watching a Youtube video about the Lake Erie Loop. The loop around the lake is about 650+ miles and it is run with small bikes like ours. One of the...
My Twinstar doesn't have that many miles on it, but, no I haven't changed the bushings on it. I have gone to the bronze bushings on my 1977 XS650 though. I...
Tom, I would only go to that much work (bronze bushings) for safety reasons. Sounds like I have many miles before I have anything to worry about. Thanks for...
Mike- I've got about 100K miles on my '82 Twinstar and I'm still using the original bushings. I have rebuilt the bike 2 times before, and during each rebuild,...
see http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e91/cyclestripper3/1111cycle/1979%20CM185T/081109/IMG_3386.jpg and look at the bottom for a channel in the case to leak. ...
That channel is there to let you know when the crankshaft oil seal has given up. This is the seal that hides behind the stator that lives under that cover. If...
