    LSL "offset match" 1" clip-ons

    What we have here is a set of used 41mm LSL "sport rise" clip-on bars which fit the older bonnevilles and I believe even newer thruxtons with 1" controls. These were once Carlo's from TPUSA, and I got them from another forum member after him... in other words, they're not mint. I included some...

    dead battery- charging problems?

    1 month old battery. I do mostly city riding- short trips. Does the charging system only kick in over certain RPM's? I know that BMW's function that way. I haven't busted out my multimeter to look at the problem. Notice that this problem is prevalent especially on cold mornings. HELP!

    cheap battery alternatives

    Well, my stock Yuasa batter finally took a dump. It's a 2005... so it lasted A LONG FUCKING TIME! Anyway, I am not totally opposed to spending $80 on a new battery... but, wouldn't mind spending less if there is a generic brand that you all have had good experiences with. There are so many...

    RD350 project

    Sold my '79 Sportster this week which was basically a basket case that I didn't have the time,energy, or desire to rebuild.
