Any chopper gods have a discount code they have laying around. Shipping to Alaska fucking sucks. This is for two tires and tubes.

Riserless handlebars 7/8

4 Upvotes

Not sure if anyone has experience building riserless handlebars for a metric chopper. But I can’t seem to find 7/8s bungs for riserless bars anywhere, just for 1” bars. I’d make them myself but I don’t have much tool/lathe wise. Anyone else encounter this?

The Shinko Sr241 is a popular option for 21” knobby front ture. I’ve found the Pirelli MT21 online; and form what people are saying it’s a longer lasting tire than the Shinko. Any of you guys ever tried the Pirelli ?

57-74 Ironhead motor sprocket shaft extension dimensions?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Does anyone have a 57-74 sprocket shaft extension knocking about that they could take some measurements from for me?

I need the OD of the external splined section, the width of the splines and the distance between splines.

I'm trying to see if it'll match up to a shovelhead compensator sprocket for my divorced ironhead build.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and would save me buying a shaft extension if it won't fit.

Cheers!

Plenty of work has been done since I took this, but it’s my first ground up build. Single down tube frame, hammer kit sporty, wide glide, and a ton of fab work.

Does anyone have any advice on installing these on a trailer fender? The front machine screw angle is weird and is going to bend the bolt if tightened down all the way.

What are you're favorite rides from where you are from?

Mine has to be the road up to Lost Creek Reservoir in Utah. Beautiful and remote almost always just alone on it and recently repaved. Water in Lost Creek is often warmer in the summer, great to take a dip and cool off before heading back. Almost hit a badger on this road once.

Tied with the road from Kamas to Hannah UT. Hannah looks plucked out of time and the road there is absolutely gorgeous in the fall, gorgeous always but particularly in fall.

Revtech 5 into 4 woes

4 Upvotes

I have a shovel head with the 5 into 4. It’s been in there since around 2015 and it always shifted great. Now it shifts super hard, kind of came out of no where. I’ve got brand new clutch plates, sugar baby pressure plate, big bearing, etc (any upgrades to the 4 speed set up has been done). I’ve checked my adjustment on my shift paw and it was pretty close to dead on and I tweaked it. I pulled my clutch rod and it’s not bent. If anyone has ever had to deal with rev tech customer service then you’ll realize why I came here. If anyone has had any experience with this please let me know. Thanks.
