If you notice, the highway bar is bent, but it doesn't have road rash on it. I think something pressed into the bike while it was being stored....
I truly think that this bike was well maintained while it was used, then someone either died or decided they'd had their fill and stored it in a...
Ok, I'm lazy and hosting images on Google Drive makes it difficult to find the raw image URL for forums posting. SOOOOO, here's a link to the...

Yes, it's Bald Wonder! I'm still around, I've just become a lurker. No, I'm not selling my brown bobber XJ. That one is getting cryogenically...
Well, at the risk of making you more paranoid, someone could do all kinds of stuff to your bike in a parking lot. At least with the oil filter,...
Also, converting to this style eliminates the oil cleaner cover, the easy-to-strip by-pass bolt, and all the other associated o-rings and seals...
Yes. http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FilterStudy.html Note that even the worst performing filter in this study is about 50% larger, physically,...
Far superior filtration over stock.
Oh, that's a secret sauce I'll never sell!
I went with the "premium" t-shirts, so they're a nicer, softer cotton blend than your standard t-shirt. Thank you for your support!
Well, since this is a new account, I can only choose 5 colors of shirts. Once I'm past 50 sales, I get more options unlocked. I can change the...
Yeah, Amazon would reject that big time. I did a Leeroy Jenkins shirt of my own original design, and just the concept was close enough to a...
Hey guys! So a couple years back, I got into the entrepreneurial spirit and started trying to design all the things with the mindset that I was...
YMMV :(
First update in a long long time: Last year I had a little accident and dropped the bike. I was going slow, about 10-15mph, when I went down....
Indeed I do... area code 315.
For 2016's clinic? Yeah, I don't remember what my excuse ended up being. As for 2017, not much else happens when you have a colicky newborn. Thank...
Thanks Dave! I wouldn't say I'm back-back, but I'll drop in from time to time and harass you guys.
Ok ok, "becoming a father." Better? ;)
Hey, I know I'm late to the party, but... So yeah, my bobber. I modded the frame just fine, but the seat is awful now. It's about as comfortable...
@jayrodoh is right: I have one of the 6sigma kits on my bike. I'll give the same disclaimer I've given before - it seems to be working well for...
Dave just asked me the same thing, so I'll be lazy and paste in what I told him here. You don't remember my barn rescue thread from last year?...
That I don't know. Maybe one of the others know. Guys? Buehler?
It's not the life left on the pad/shoe that concerns us, it's the age of the glue holding the pad to the metal. When they reach this age, they can...
Register it in Vermont - they don't title bikes older than 15 years. You don't have to be a resident and you can do it by mail. Ride on that...
@Steven P : Aye, I'm running pods with the sigma jets. No lean issues yet. Sigma has you widen a lot of holes during installation, so more gas...
I still love my Michelin Commander II's.
Thanks! The rear fender is one I picked up from Tractor Supply Company. I ground down the inside of the frame until I could wedge it in there,...
<----- And some do the research and plow ahead regardless!
Thanks! The short answer is yes, you probably could use the tank bolt to mount another seat. I don't think it would get you sitting any lower...
Sorry I'm only just now responding. For whatever reason, I never got a notice that there had been another post. I'm running generic pods with a...
Alright, it's time for me to come clean. I let this fall off my radar and I haven't been preparing for this weekend at all. I'm going to call...
I have pods, and I'd be happy if I didn't have a starter that's on its way out. To be clear, that's not an endorsement of pods.
This reminds me of when I was putting my bike back together and firing it up for the first time. It turned out I had accidentally connected the...
Wow. Way to make that a disturbing image. ;)
And while we're on the subject of underutilized areas, why is there no ball pit in the ballroom?!
Dave, what the hell man?! I've been scouring the Eastern US Rallies/Clinics section to see when you would announce this! It's on my calendar now,...
I hate to break it to ya, rocs, but someone done run off with your carbs. (Just teasing.)
Greeeaaaat.
Technically you're talking about trademarks, not copyrights. And that is precisely how Hydrox (the former Oreo competitor) got its recent revival....
So a question rolling through my head is how would I even find out if I could license making POP (to borrow Dave's terminology) XJ parts?
The issue is it costs them nothing extra to send the lawyers they have on staff and are already paying to chase you down. To them, the end result...
Notice I haven't started a business around it. ;)
I believe you could reproduce covers and emblems. I've been tempted to start a whole business based on this, potential legal battles aside. If you...
There's one in the Fab Lab at my local community college. Free to the public. BYOF. (F = filament)
Sounds like an episode of Man, Moment, Machine. (Yes, I'm still lurking.)
So nevermind. My buddy can't go Saturday. We'll be going Sunday instead.
You got it, chief.
I'll be there with a buddy of mine. Not sure on the time, but noon sounds very sleep-in compatible. Just how I like my Saturdays.
