    What's up y'all, I am trying to chase down some pipes that I had at one time on a bike I sold. I'm pretty sure they are Hard-Krome Drag Stars (or a knockoff version). If anyone could help me identify them, and or if you have a set you're willing to part with (sale or trade for some custom...

    The rear shocks on my 97 vt1100 doesn't have visible coils or visible settings like I've seen on other shocks, I know there is a way to adjust them up, but I don't know how. So how do I properly go about adjust them? Reason I want to adjust them to a stiffer ride is I want to start taking my...

    So prior to this post I have been having issues with my bike('88 vt1100c). I did a thorough checkup and tested all the component of the bike to find nothing wrong. I ended up replacing the regulator earlier on and decided to check it more in depth. I still had my old one so compared them side by...

    Hello, I am trying to replace my shift spindle as the owner before me welded the shift linkage back on to the splines and has a lot of play. I purchased a "new" spindle but I was unsure of how in depth this repair is and how to go about it. Does this require the motor to be out of the bike...

    So I've been on the search for some decals for my bike('88 vt1100) for quite some time now. I applied for collector status and got turned down because there were no emblems or decals. Does anyone happen to know what they would look like? Called the Honda dealership and they didn't even know what...

    Howdy y'all I'm fairly new here. I ride a 95 vt1100, but between COVID lockdowns and some personal life stuff, didn't touch the bike for a long time. Before I left it sitting, the clutch had broken somehow, and of course after sitting, it doesn't want to run. So I figure as I take it apart and...

    I took the bike out as soon as I got home from work today. Been looking forward to it all week. Had other things I had to do in the evening all week, but it's been gorgeous all week here, north of St. Louis (Troy area), all week, and I was chomping at the bit. So I jumped on the bike and hit...

So I picked up a 94 vt1100 that had some previous electrical gremlins from the po - however we got it sorted pretty quick, turned out to be a short in the...

    Hey all, I'm working on installing the head covers on my '97 VT1100 and I'm looking for some clarification on something in the shop manual. The manual says that, after installing the cylinder head covers, you need to "check that the slots in the exhaust and intake rocker arm shafts are within...
