Sorry to raise this thread from the dead, but apparently my website got hacked a while ago. I switched all the pictures to my new host. Some updates: Bike didn't go on the road last summer because I was working out of California, where I picked up my new toy (back in Toronto now). I started...

Would you be willing to chop a part of the frame and ship it to me??? Shipping to Toronto, Canada... Here's what I need:

Customfighters.com has a great thread that lists all the steering bearing sizes for various bikes: http://www.customfighters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22068 CM400 stock bearings are: Upper: 26 x 48.5 x 15.2 Lower: 30 x 50 x 14.4 2008 GSXR are: Upper:30 x 55 x 17 Lower: 30 x 55 x 17 So...

Sure. The swap itself was pretty simple. The bottom bearing is the same 30x50, the new top bearing is 30x48.5. I ordered 2 new sets of bearings for a CM400, and machined the 30x50 down to 30x48.5. It's hardened steel, so you'll need a hardened bit to machine it down. Once the front end was on...

Re: (Not really) The slowest project ever - CM400T - OPINIONS WANTED ON P13! Thank you all for your opinions, Dan, I might have to take you up on that offer! In the meantime, I'll try a lot more photoshops. I only had time to do 1 this morning, but I'll get a few more done during lunch...

Re: (Not really) The slowest project ever - CM400T - on the road! Thinking of a new tank and tail. Need advice. What do you guys think about these? 1. Stock tank - as it sits right now: 2. What if I fiberglassed the tank to give it edgier look? 3. What if I went with a GS750 tank, and...

Re: The Tortoise: cb350 04/17/10 DONE! Matt, Sorry to hear about your troubles this morning. Do you feel like you're reaching forward to far right now when you ride it? How does the seat feel after a 30km ride? Bike looks great!
