Last week, while replacing the brake pads on my '84S I happened to notice something I felt was rather odd about the front end. With the wheel and axle removed,...
Yes I have noticed it as well. When I replaced my fork seal last time thats when i noticed it I just thought that it was normal. But I made sure the triple...
I noticed the twisting being allowed also (and believe me, I've had that damn front wheel off OFTEN). I think of the brace as more of a spacer to keep the...
Well the spacer is just a reinforment. Choppers and some custom bikes don't have them at all. Its there to help absorb any funny racking the forks may...

Anyone else losing paint finish on their 700? Mine's fine on the sides of the tank, but on the top near the gas cap, it's flaking off. Is there anything I...

As far as painting...first check the cost of replacing the body parts with good used or NOS (new-old-stock) or discounted new parts versus painting & labor...
Woh there! Don't use any new clear untill you test it on the bottom of the tank. The solvents in the clear might not match! Which will make the top coat...
I was reading the hop up article for our bikes in the files and it says to put 16 psi in each fork. well my manual says no more than 6 psi, whats the deal! I...

6 ft, 190 and run about 4 lb pressure. I've always been amazed that Joe Minton used 16 lb in the hop-up. I believe that puts too much pressure on the fork...
