Yeah right now I need to get that new battery to get the bike started to then check actual charge voltage at 3000rpm. I've found a Duracell ETX16L(mad...

Donggone, love those amps but still too fat 🙁 After more digging I suppose it's another ETX16L(seems this alpha numeric is an industry definition of ...

WOW your 80/7 has a big battery box area! If Amazon is correct the PC925 measures 11.4 x 10.3 x 8.3 inches. While my 81 R100RT box is roughly 7x5x6 i...

Thanks Wobbly for that tidbit on charge voltage. I've never owned an AGM before this bike. Can you point me to this adjustable voltage regulator for t...

WOW, I've had 3 different airheads, ride them hard and NEVER once had a float bowl come off. And I do wear Army issue leather lace boots to boot. Thos...

I put in just a bit of air pressure to give the tube shape. I also leave the tire in the full sun for a bit to warm it up. Next I use a bit of soapy w...

LOL, Not an Argument! 🙂 But seriously nothing was bought was from China aka Cheap Chinese Cra*. Although generally the quality has improved greatly i...

I reused the original seats(recut) with Kibblewhite BD valves and stems. New springs, collets, gaskets. First re-torque and clearances set at about 90...

Update: The old girl now has about 1500miles on the new exhaust valves with about 1k at highway 4-5k rpm. After the initial 350miles(on the Team Lyle ...

It does sound like incompatible expansion rates. After much study and talking to several machinists I'm feeling most comfortable with MaxBMX in NH...

Interesting story. Question, how many miles did you have before the stuck valve? Because if it happened first ride where the bike got up to normal o...

To clarify, in about 30 days we start our annual winter migration to the lands on NO SNOW! But I'm thinking of taking the RT with me, Winter Solstice ...
