    WARNING! Avoid motocycleparts-inc on eBay

    Dude! This guy is something else! Talk about a horrible way to run a business. I was looking for an 18" spoked wheel for my rear and found one on ebay He had it listed for $70 with a best offer option. Now I'm under the impression that the best offer option is to invite offers that are lower...

    18" spoked rear wheel with drum brake

    Ok, I have 16" rear but I'm thinking I may want to run 18" front and back. What do I need to consider and what wheels are available to someone in the US? P.S. I'm looking specifically for a drum brake/ spoked wheel. I think maybe the '79 had one?

    ok, I'm curious about this tank...annoying yet?

    Ok, in my quest to have a tank that's just a little different I stumbled across a few different ones.

    Tanks...for the millionth time I'm sure.

    I'm sort of at a crossroads with my build. I've had several starts and stops and the idea continues to evolve in my mind. I know people keep asking about interchangeable tanks and what will work. My question is the same basically but I'm thinking beyond modding a sportster tank or different XS...

    Stalled Project
