    Oil cooler removal...

    Oil cooler removal...Is this really a good idea? http://www.bikeexif.com/triumph-t100 I know most will disagree on a function over form basis, but it sure cleans up the front end. The guy who built this said it caused him no problems, but then its hard to say how hard the bikes been run...

    Pipe Mod and such...

    I decided to lop my stock pipes à la blunt... It was pretty nerve wracking (there is no turning back) but I'm really happy with the result. The weld creates a lot of damage to the chrome so we painted a section of the pipe with black BBQ pipe. (for the record, jeff welded while I drank beer). Im...

    Mirrors

    Since I swapped my bars out cafe style, my mirrors have been showing only my elbows. Also, If I wring the bike's neck they drop downwards and I can't even see my elbows. (Wind? G-force?!) Anyone know a good solution without having to use bar-end mirrors? My bars barely fit in the shed as it...

    What are the pros and cons of fat tires like these?? http://www.bikeexif.com/chanel-motorcycle http://www.bikeexif.com/lc-fabrications (these look really chunky) I run similar tread patterns on my BMX because they eat up everything in sight and seem real grippy all the way round. They...

    Egli-vincent

    It turns out I have a distant relative who is a vintage bike nut. I guess over the summer he managed to buy back a beautiful Egli-Vincent that he had bought in the 60's but then sold to a collector. I imagine he paid far more than what he sold it for, but it must be nice to have it back in the...

    Rectifier / Regulator question

    What is it, why is it so ugly, and can I move it? The haynes manual shows it rear mounted on the America I believe, can I stretch it back there? Does it need to breath? Thanks!
