Kenny opened the door to his warehouse, pointed to a dented and rusting bin and said, “Go for it.” NuttBoy climbed in the back looking for the proper bends. This bin was the size of a full length truck container and two-thirds full of scrap 1-3/4 inch pipe material, yet there wasn’t a 90 degree

The holes must thenbe drilled for the wiring. The trick is, to make sure the holes are large enough to accommodatethe wires, but no

This is the story of the build-up of my cheap Suzuki GN 400.Before you get all upset that it is a jap bike, let me say one thing.I have a 1974 sportster that I finished up a couple of years ago that I ride regularly, I was looking for something cheap that my wife could

Here is engine swap tip “Old Bob” and I came up with. This is the second time I’ve done this on a Road King wreck that involved a frame change. I saw something somewhere where the factory was putting a Twin Cam engine in a Road King frame on the assembly line. We got to
