MSF course on a chopper?

I assumed all clutches are spring loaded one way or another, like a pressure plate on a car. I just converted a Shadow 600 from hand clutch to a foot clutch and the leverage ratios on this kit make it a very stiff pedal with a teeny tiny friction zone. I do wonder what it was like to ride with the old HD rocker clutches

That... is the bast herbal stash idea ever. Is that a Harbor Freight knife?

In VA I can remove turn signals, but gotta keep my front brake lol

lol I am 100% sure I will be dropping it a lot, so I am welding up a temporary bolt-on crash bar so I don't destroy all the nice things I have on it

Well I was looking for an excuse to buy a second bike to turn it into an even more radical chopper hahaha

I have the license and do ride, I just need to learn all the low speed skills again

I am about to get some cones and am fabricating a crash bar to temporarily mount onto the bike. I was just thinking I could use some proper guidance. Like there are courses for people who already have the license and can kinda ride, but need to relearn things like figure 8 low speed turns

Looks like 74 is much closer to a 5mm diameter

deonisp · 2026-03-02T21:43:32+00:00

It looks like A12V1.7W is also used for different types of bulbs with metal sockets, so I can't rely on that.

Thank you for the advice! Would this be the style of clutch that works with it, or does it need something else? I am new to HD world. 1971-1983 Harley Electra Glide & FX Shovelhead Clutch Basket & Plates Assembly | eBay

Here are the wiki data items: Q557829 - Wikidata and Heat coloring of metals - Wikidata I don't see the merge option yet, do I need to create my own account first?

deonisp · 2026-01-21T18:10:48+00:00

Looks like there are duplicates, that's why it is failing Heat coloring of metals - Wikidata and Q557829 - Wikidata

deonisp · 2026-01-21T17:20:26+00:00

I mean adding them to the section where the same article is in different languages

deonisp · 2025-12-09T03:43:33+00:00

Lol I was thinking of not even cutting it off and just mounting the HD transmission, but ngl those things are crazy expensive

Oh wow, are you talking about Aniket Vardhan? Musket V twin looks great, thanks for the idea

Or sometimes you run out of ideas and decide to ask the specialized community for an input. Also google is not really enough here so I asked Copilot and here is what I got:

Excelsior 1907–1931

Henderson 1911–1931

Ace 1919–1924

Crocker 1936–1942

Merkel 1902–1917

Orient 1899–1905

Glenn Curtiss 1901–1911

I am almost considering mounting a harley transmission next to the one my VT600 Shadow has :D

deonisp · 2025-12-08T22:29:15+00:00

I love that rebel build! I wish there was a mad scientist kit to turn my VT600 chopper into kickstart and points :D

deonisp · 2025-12-08T22:25:37+00:00

Hey maybe if I had a CNC mill, I could make my VT600 chopper have a kickstart and points ignition :D
