personally I would look for a dohc with a mono shock before starting to try to rework the sohc frame the mono will handle off road riding smoother than the dual from my understanding.... haven't ridden both down forest service roads to prove yet and if time money and effort are no issue anything...
Dave-
true I was rushing with the whole thing to get it posted ill will work on that. and as far as the headlight goes now I used the koito housing I had and modified a H4 3 prong bulb to fit I wont be doing any night riding for a while with it and just need the light for safety reasons. as far...
found more info on the headlight PO had on it is a koito PO had silicone allover the back like he tried to convert it to an h4 anyone know of the sealed beam 5 3/4 I found and automotive one that was 50/65 watt will the charging system on an 83 dohc handle that and also I would have to make a...
Can anyone recommend any good light for cost for our bikes that are the round 5 3/4 dia I believe looking for something practical that works good but not going to kill the electronics on the bike or the pocket book on purchase

I would check the clutch basket to make sure the plates aren't hanging up seen that happen a few times on my dirt bikes where the basket gets a lip worn in it and needs taken down or removed so the plates slide freely again and the clutch basket should have pressure to it pushing the rod back to...
started with a frame hoop removed tabs and brackets that were not needed and gave a better line here is where it is now the pad and cover will be added this weekend then this winter I will pull it all off to make a fiberglass pan
my dohc bike was do to a bad new reg/rect everything checked out and was good in spec so I figured after hours and weeks of head scratching to by another reg/rect and just try it and it solved all my issues maybe a easy thing to do rather then go crazy trying to find a wire issue that maybe not...
not to be blunt but have you checked to see the high beam is actually not burned out? may require getting a new headlight but it could be that simple had that problem chasing my charging system seemed that all my hours of chasing wires and voltages was do to a faulty "new" rectifier that after I...
ya sounds like maybe best bet would be trying to ride out here in central Oregon we have a lot of the same rock/sand/hard pack terrain all over here in the high desert maybe a way to test it out and see before the main voyage! and true a bike pump would be most weight and space effective I...
so your doing a similar ride to what Cody Quinn did with Kendall Norman and ya there probably isn't much more than the shade tree mechanic down there either let alone getting lucky and finding a set of wheels to fit and XS maybe make a light bar for the back to hold spare rubber and tubes and...
