    I have a set of what I am assuming are stock cams for a 1996 883 Sportster and also a set of push rods for a 1996 Sportster 883. Have Stock ignition as well. If you can use it, take it, just pay shipping, otherwise FREE!!!! If nobody wants this stuff I am just going to throw is away. I would hate to do that. Let me know.

    put it in a box and mail it to chuck, let him keep it on a shelf, that way you've recycled, helped keep the post office running, and got it out of your garage...

    So very true! I gave most of my "spare" or old parts to Tattoo. Always recyle old parts or keep them. Funny thing is, I have gotten a few of those parts back from Tattoo and they are on my bike.

    Yea never ever throw away used parts, never know when you'll need em. I got two shelves for them and one tool box drawer. Have gone back looking for a used part a time or two.

    Keeping the bike parts isn't the problem, keeping the car parts that we are never going to use because we are caught up in the bikes than cars!!! Make me sound so mean :(

    You know ol JB is just using the ol fakearooney on ya.

    See you never get rid of old parts, leave um around,
    then when you buy more parts you can just say
    "hey it's one of the old parts I was just looking at
    it, might be able to use it."

    that way he can buy more stuff...
