Bike Talk motorcycle forum

Hi everyone, I wanted to post about the past present and future of this forum.

This forum started as a hangout created back in 1997 by Dave who owned a shop in Arizona until he retired. I took the reins around 2005. In 2007 I created the new domain name Bike-Talk.com and the forum went through many upgrades over the years including the last migration to a robust server host. I've covered all of the annual and monthly costs to this day to keep this forum free from member dues or blasting everyone with too much advertising.

Despite the forum becoming quiet lately due to no promotion, I believe this platform could still have a future with the right amount of effort. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of bandwidth or energy at this time. So I would like to offer up the forum to someone...

Hey everyone... I'm new to this forum. I'm trying to purchase a CV Performance "Premium Tuners Kit" and a few other CVP items. There are no CVP retail outlets within 150 miles of me. None of the online sites listed on the CVP website carry the Premium Kit. Anyone know how I can get my hands on one of these???

OR... Can anyone recommend an alternative HIGH QUALITY CV40 carburetor rebuild kit from a different manufacturer?

Really anxious to get this carb rebuilt and back on the bike (1994 FLSTF).

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Hello forums members, I recently installed an Andrews EV27 cam in a 1990 Heritage with a stock CV carb and exhaust system. The directions for the cam said I may need to change jet sizes, the current jetting in carb is 175/45, the cam directions say I may have to go to a 195/48-50, I also read on a forum about installing a sporty needle to,Anybody have any thoughts on this as I have not installed the carb on bike yet, would like to change jets while the carb is on my bench instead of standing on my head ! Lol, thanks for any thoughts on this

I've been going over some charging system components and found the following. With the regulator removed (rubber plug pulled off) I got a reading of 0.5 ohms and with digital voltmeter got a bouncing AC voltage from what looked like 19 to 12 volts when running. It fluctuates very fast so its difficult to pick up all the numbers. I'm trying to figure if the stator is putting out as it should.

Also, is there any good test for the regulator? All I see is to change it with a known good one.

Thanks for reading
