    I think my 94 Cali (carbureted ) is in good tune, the plugs are picture text book perfect. After I warm the bike up if I flog it in 4th especially 5th gear,after I have reached 4000rpm the clutch can slip and over rev.

My 83 HD Shovelhead calls for 20-50w but at the time the manual was printed , there was no 20-60w to be...

    Larger fuel tank ?

I was thinking that since it is a Tonti frame it would work with minimal adjustments, other than...

    My bike was bought and brought over from Europe. The owners manual says to set the valves at .010 and .015 with an asterisk, USA version .05 and .010. Why the difference? The valves have been set at first setting and the valves are very loud banging away. Does anyone know the proper settings...

    Hi guys I have the rear wheel off my 94 cal 1100 to clean up and put some straburags on the splines which have little or no wear. The bike has 66,000 kilometers on the clock.
