I need a rear wheel and some other wheel stuff for a 1979 Honda CT 90

I need any kind of brake / tail light assy that uses a standard dual-filament bulb. I'm trying to get one to work on 6 v., and the LEDs won't do. Cheap is good. My local cycle salvage seems to have closed permanently.

Is it illegal to have a modulating headlight in operation while driving in the dark during pre-sunrise morning hours?

The Pathblaster unit requires a light sensor to prevent activation in the dark. I would like to disable this function with a switch/circuit of some kind so that the light can flash during my commute in the dark of the morning. Anyone know how? I realize it's probably against DOT regulations, but...

The "euro" Virago. Time to sell the ol' gal. Bought new, well maintained. Cross-country experienced. 100,000 miles now. Runs well when you can get past the common starter clanking. Buy the whole machine for a splendid restoration project or a part I could remove and send to you. I remember the...

1982 Yamaha XV920 starter finally needs new brushes. Bike Bandit and similar sources not helpful. A common motor on many Jap bikes of the period. Any parts bikes out there?

I just came back from my local shop where I picked up a strip of sticky-back wheel weights. The clerk was amazed that I wanted to buy such an item and asked if I had a wheel balancing machine. He actually gave me the weights because he said he has never been asked to sell any. "We balance all...

For many years I've been camping at the track Saturday night, and right there for the Sunday action. But this year, I have to ride down from Santa Cruz on Sunday morning, and I forget what's the best way to get to the track without getting stuck in traffic. I usually go on 68 from 101, but...
