Greetings, You'll find plenty of help, resources and encouragement on this site. Great looking bike- hope you get to put some miles on it this summer.

My first bike wasn't quite as fast as 750 Suzuki oo any of the other bikes come to think of it but I still had a great time with it. It was a 1969 Hodaka 100B enduro bike. Sorry I don't have a picture of it.

Thanks Dan. I'll check that out.

Where did you find the type 4 plenum-manifold? I've been looking at VW performance parts companies and no one seems to have them anymore.

Check out the For Sale or Wanted forum. Some of those interchange from year to year. You could ask in the general forum ; someone out there will know.

Please let me know if the brake line set is still for sale. I was going to put on a set on my 81 Interstate.

What kind of tires did you put on your Wing? I have a 12" x 18" aluminum sign that is just under 1/16 of an inch. If you can't find anything and can use it it's yours. Oh yeah, your bike looks great, Steve.

Did you find a way to mount the trunk? I have a factory rack from an 81 Interstate that might work . Let me know if you need it.

Happy to say I wasn't on that jet. I 'll be using my day off now to pull the other jets. Thanks for the advice.

I'm a moron. I can't post a link to progressive because that's the wrong site( sorry ). I was on the Race Tech site. The part number for the cartridge fork emulator is FEGVS3801 ($169.99). If you press "More" on the upper RH corner of their home page and click on "suspension bible " you can read...

Hi, I'm going through my 81' Interstate this year. I've never had it on the road except to ride it home.I looked at Progressive's site for new springs and I saw cartridge emulaters. Has anyone used them and does it make a difference? I'm going to put springs and seals in the forks and figure the...

I've been rebuilding my carbs with Randakk's kit. Everything went well until Tues night when I found the last carb had a really plugged up idle jet. Wasn't able to clear it so I soaked it with penetrating oil overnight. Today I tried Littlebeavers method of removing the pressed in idle jet(the...
