I did the disc-to-drum swap on a /6 a few years back, and was *very* pleased with the results. If the PO had done the reverse on your /5, then you are going...

It won't "soften shifting" and it won't fit if you have a SWB /5 (i.e., early '73 or before). If you really want "softer shifting" the best change is a much...

On a SWB bike there's no reason to swap out a bunch of parts to convert to LWB just to get a cush driveshaft setup. An R65 driveshaft has the cush drive and...

Here's my 1.7 Canadian cents worth. If you were to set up a dial indicator on the side of the cam snout, you'd likely find it to be not perfectly true. This...

If you found a /5 with perfect timing marks and then checked the runout of the tip of the cam, you could well find an error. I do not advocate having some...
A wobble or instability on a SWB /5 is never to be fixed by changing the designed parts. A /5 that is set up properly is STABLE. If it is not stable, then...
1) 1/8" on that big flywheel isn't really so bad. That it is intermittent (random) means it could be a flakey timing light - have you tried another, powered ...
