I have access to the tools as well and will also clean mine up. Thanks for the great tip. My brother came over today and rerouted mine and it is possible to pull with one hand now. I think I'll...

Mine is a '65. The Thailand cable I bought had the hard elbow and neither of the replacements did.

Clutch cable frustration

I'm having some issues and I'm about at the end of my rope. But what's new. When I originally put the bike together, I ordered a full set of cables from Thailand. They worked perfectly for a while...

I've had that experience a lot. I can't tell you how often I've had a state chapter President of a Harley motorcycle club come over and talk to me about my bike. A lot of them learned how to ride...

I did the conversion in 2012 when I put my bike together. It works really well but it charges slowly. I occasionally ride my bike at night and wouldn't go back to 6 volt if you paid me. It fried the...

I was just about to bid on that but then I looked closer and saw that it was the left hand dimmer and horn switch. Oh well.

The thing about the off road tires is that they have high rolling resistance and sing like Pavarotti once they get worn in a bit. They do stick to the road like glue and are the right size, unlike...

Just thought I would upload a few pictures I took on my ride today. My brother's Goldwing is out of order at the moment so he rode his '62 Dream that I'm going to buy off of him in the near future. ...

I plan on buying a go pro at some point. It just isn't a priority now. I'm still running the cheap knobbies I bought from JC Whitney. They sing a lot but they really stick to the road.

Just an update. I've been riding the bike for almost a year now and have put almost 1700 miles on the ticker. It still rides great, although it recently started leaking oil like a sieve. I spent...

My favorite thing to do on the Benly...

It's really too bad he's gone. Life has kicked me in the ass over the past few months so I haven't been posting but I really enjoyed some of his creative solutions. His headlight mod was genius and...

I've had mine up to 65, although it felt pretty scary at that speed. 55 is the fastest I'm really comfortable going on it. It's a great little bike for getting around town as I've found out since...

The electrical system is working fine. Not much left to go wrong there. Now I just have to get into it and replace seals so it stops leaking oil like a sieve.

Try letting the petcock sit overnight in the on position with fuel in it and a rag underneath it. Sometimes the gaskets need to swell up a bit before it will seal. Otherwise, you could be having...
