Thanks, I'll start ringing around

Hey all, I have been offline for over a year and now I'm back. I have stainless steel braided cables on my 2000 model 650 Dragstar, but since I chopped her up and extended the front end by 6 inches with the 16inch apes, the cables are impossible to find at the correct length. So I bought a set that are slightly too long as it was my only option. Is it possible to shorten them by 9inches? Regards Austen

Thanks guys I have both manuals and followed the instructions, just didn't expect the spokes to loosen so quickly. I have tightened them up and centered them again and will keep an eye on them. Thanks again.

Hi all, I bought a complete "new" rear wheel/tyre for my Dragstar after my original wheel had 2 broken off spokes...I said "new" because it was second hand but had never been used on the other bike, the guy had bought his Dragstar to trike it and I got a "new" wheel, but I had to tighten the spokes first and then 6-9 months later I had noticed they were loose again. They are clean and they still look brand new, is there anything I can do or any product I can use to "glue" them or threadlock them? Or do I need new spokes? Thanks

Hi all, this is my first time on the forum. I have a XVS650 Dragstar/V-Star Custom and I wan tto rake out the front and extend the forks. I keep reading about these Choppper Kits like AME but they are way too expensive in the UK, somehow the international exchange rate fails to work. My question is, does anyone know where I can find such a kit for around £1000? Any advice would be great. Thnaks all. AustenM
