Srinath- I don't know if you have read this post on how a guy rewound his rotor or even if it would help you but I remembered reading it quite a while back. What brought it to mind was you mention cal ...

danno- I personally haven't done it. I have heard good things about it though. A respected member, Retired Gentleman , did a write up on his experience and it seemed to work well for him. It's in the ...

I ran across what I think is a pretty good page on this process to remove rust from a tank or other parts. I know we have written about it several time but as they say pictures are worth a thousand wo ...

Question on the swing arm needle bearing conversion kit...I'm thinking of ordering the kit from mikes, part # 28-1011, the new bolt & nut part # 27-1067 . Do I need grease seals too or are they the th ...

I don't think it makes a difference except that the one on the left already has the leads hooked up. I have used both with a Pamco. Somehow I got the first one, the right one , somehow managed to sho ...

That tank is from a CB500?

Merry Christmas brother. We are supposed to get snow and have a white Christmas for the first time since 1962? I think. Throw some more logs on the fire jayel as I think it's gonna get you too.

What do you guys call those tags? MOT? Here we have ...

As far as the key part. There is a guy on ebay who sells nos keys. Get the 4 digit number off the lock cylinder. Look through the list of ones he has available. I bought one and it works perfectly.
