Where can I buy a jeweled motorcycle seat screw?
I bought 2 in the past, from the same place. They had a website that I think was just letters, but now I can’t find it. The screw is like a thumb screw and is inlayed with lapis, tourquoise, or tiger eye, etc. Can anyone help?
J&P Cycles carries a lot of doo-daddery.
Will jb weld be a good fix for a crack in a motorcycle gas tank?
there is a small crack in my motorcycle gas tank so that when the tank is full and the bike is resting on the kick stand gas slowly leaks out.
Nope. There is some gas tank epoxy that you can find at just about any autoparts store…. I can’t remember what they call it, but JB weld will not last for more than a week if that before it starts to dissolve and leak again.
Buying OEM motorcycle parts?
Im looking for a master cylinder plunger gasket for a 1980 honda cb400t. I have found many sources that sell whole rebuild kits but i just bought one and the one gasket tore and i do not feel like spending another $50 on a rebuild kit for one gasket. thanks!
Unfortunately, you probably wont find individual o-rings or gaskets. If its just a rubber o-ring, you can find replacements at your local hardware store, in the plumbing section. Just bring the torn one in and match it up to a new one, and it will only cost you less than 50 cents. Dealers will only sell the full rebuild kits as well.
can you lower the height while stretching out a chopper or motorcycle?
yea… i wanna make one later.. just gathering some info..
some choppers look ugly too high with a higher rake angle..
the low choppers that are raked look awesome.
and oh yea, QUESTION#2: do people buy motorcycle kits, or do they tear apart a motorcycle they bought to make the chopper?

Lots of after market parts to help you do this kind of stuff to a stock bike, but once you start to get more extreme on what you want then most of the parts will have to be custom made.
If you really want a totally custom bike, then either learn or become good friends with the following:
Welder, and he will need to be good if you want the bike to look good.
Machinist, with access to some of the better machining equipment with tight tolerances.
Mechanic, because once you bore that engine someone has to put it back together.
Mechanical Engineer, because when you start changing frame shape you change the stress points and design tolerances.
Check on the boards that do a lot of this stuff and you can find guys with enough experience in these areas to help you figure out exactly what you want to do vs. what you actually can safely do. Many of the same guys can also fabricate the parts if you want to buy from them and help you weld the parts to the bike.
The other option is find a company that does this for a living and pay them an un-naturally large sum of money so you can just pick up the bike totally built in 6 months, or get a job there and learn how to do it from the ground up on their dime.
What is a good website/company for custom motorcycle kits (unassembled)?
And also, how much profit is there in building a kit bike from scratch and selling it, rather than buying a new bike? Thanks!

Just search chopper kits.
Their are many ways to build a custom bike. But in a nutshell, it will be cheaper to get a bare bones kit and build one yourself.
Good Luck.
