I am sorry I missed the mudslingers race; my friend Brett wanted to go the AHRMA event in Dixon and it was also closer, so we went. It was a good event, but...
Why use the PVL instead of the Motoplat System, I just put a new stater in my bike and it starts easily on second kick. PVL's are over $400. right? ... From:...

I'm conservative on spending cash but I've fitted 5 of the PVL units on my personal race bikes and one of the lighting system units for additional flywheel...
Mike, I've been bitten by the infamous loose-crimp. When I first got a PVL on my 73 250 radial I was at Carlsbad and the bike just quit on me and no amount of...
Quick question. I have a couple of old plastic tanks (PMC tanks from the 1970's). The petcocks are starting to leak and break (parts of the petcocks are made...
