Best DIY Throttle Cable Repair Video I’ve Ever Seen
Working with old bikes can be challenging. One constant struggle is cables. If you can find one that fits for a 40+ year old machine, as often as not is as old as the bike (NOS) or an aftermarket item that may or may not fit or may not be of great quality. I’ve been working […]

Stumbled across this list of swingarm pivots widths. No idea where it originated, but thanks to whomever compiled it, and no idea if this list is completely, partially, or not at all correct. Your milage may vary… Kawasaki’s big fours are the following… 9.25″/235mm swing arm pivot width. Honda VTR SUPERHAWK (all years) – 165mm […]
