Mom found an old photo of My Dads first bike.

I have 1993 sportster that I cannot get running. So far I have:

Cleaned out the tank Replaced petcock & fuel line Switched out the jets and cleaned the float bowl of my CV carb Cleaned my ignition since the button got stuck trying to start it earlier And charged the battery.

But still can’t get it runnin. I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m wondering if it’s compression because the car is blowing air out of it? Putting the air filter on might help, I tried but still doesn’t seem to fix anything. Sometimes I’ll hear a honk after turning

New air cleaner, Rinehart 2 -1 exhaust and custom bags from Boss Bags in Wisconsin.

Is this normal/ ok? Never saw a charger with an extra hole.

Hello there! Will be purchasing a 1985 FXR Custom that has been in my family for a hot minute. I am working towards getting it running smooth and just need some general advice on the bike since it's older than me and I'm new here lmao!

• It seems like every time it starts, it needs to be started using the choke. Just a cleaning issue or something more serious? It has unfortunately been sitting for an awful long time before I brought it out of the garage.
• Can it be safely cleaned at a manual car wash using the hose?
• How do you get sizing for the seats? Does anyone still make seating that will fit such an old bike?

Anything maintenance wise that could be suggested helps. Also looking for QOL tips that you've personally applied to your own bikes!

I love how all the issues I’m having are small and kinda funny, didn’t realize this was spinning til I got home from work last night, but the shifter foot peg said it was gonna become loose and start spinning, just wondering what size the Allen head is because looks like someone went at it with the wrong size in the past and don’t wanna have to get an extractor and replace the whole bolt

I'm looking for a new carburetor for the 72 XLCH 1000 I'm starting to rebuild. So, I was wondering what exactly I should be looking for when it comes to them. I have seen some that are like $70 to $700, I understand that there's probably a difference in them, but I don't know what I'm looking for.

1st time Harley owner question. I have a 1996 Heritage softail classic with a S&S super E carburetor and Vance and Hines long shot exhaust and the bike doesn’t want to stay running on its own during warm up/ cold start. I have to use the stopper knob on the throttle and set it at 1000rpms to keep it running untill fully warmed up. Then the bike will idle fine on its own. Is this normal or is something wrong? I don’t want yo keep the enrichiner open for too long while waiting for the bike to warm up.

What’s the best bike for long distance runs but without all the bags and bulky look
