    Easter Sunday

    I hope everyone has a good one. It's been a mixed last 24 hours here. Went and picked up a 2001 1200 Sporty for a friend. Great deal on it,...

    CV carb questions

    The New Indian: A Test Ride in Review

    Well, they have their trade offs. Indian made more power, but it's also an almost 8% larger displacement engine. I really am no great fan of the TC...

    On relays and saving yourself money and headaches.

    Oh of course it is, and it's mostly Chinese...so you're not paying $18 for an $8 relay, you're paying $18 for a $1 relay.

    Oh definitely! But you can save even more by not buying "auto parts". NAPA will still get you for $8 for that Chinese $1 relay, and Standard Motor...

    On relays and saving yourself money and headaches.

    Just an FYI for those who might not know: The "standard" Bosch SPDT relay is used (or can be used) in all kinds of places on bikes, cars, and yes,...
