I must apologize, as I have not posted completed pictures. She is done and her maiden was the Sunday AFTER St. Patrick's day 2013. I have forgotten how to post pictures. As soon as I figure it out, I will put some up.

Hey guys. I am considering buying a 1982 GS 650 for about 100.00. My plan is to drop in a mid 70's CB 550-4 motor. GS motor is seized. I want chain drive, and basically, it is the complete bike. What swing-arm (single or double sided) will fit in this frame? I do not know the measurements of the...

Hey guys/gals. I am considering another build, a 1990 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200cc CAFE BIKE! Found one for a great deal, runs good, but needs some cosmetics done. Anyone know where I can get a service manual for this? Thanks all.

Well, I did this and it works. No leaks. the new rubber seal works like a dream.

LOL! that is awesome! I actually thought of that. I did find some at the local Triumph dealer, plain, no logo. Found some online too, plain. I just want them a bit bigger, length and height. The CB900 Custom "dents" are a bit bigger than the area for the old triumphs and nortons. I just dont...

I want to put some knee pads on my CB900 Custom. I want the old school tear drop type. I remember seeing "magnetic" pads for the side of the gas tank, but I cannot locate them anymore. I would prefer them over the ones that use an adhesive. Anyone know about these?

OK guys, I am going to reconnect my center stand. I know, I know......but, I really want it so I can check fluids, drain oil, and make needed adjustments whilst the bike is LEVEL. I WANT my stand. OK, with that said, I have a FSM. It does not show how the stand is attached. Basically, I insert...

UPDATE......I got them working properly. Apparently, the bike can be set up for flasher AND running lights together. The aftermarket has 2 wires Yellow and Black, these are flasher only.....although, I did originally connect them and had both. However, because they were on for some time, they...

Ok, 1,225 pics and 1 video on my phone. This is gonna take a while. No wonder my phone was so damn slow....and I thought it was because it was a Galaxy II. LOL! Pics coming soon (not all 1225).

Thanks for the replies... I so appreciate this! Ok, so, if it is the relay, do I replace it with this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Flasher-Relay-12volt-2-prong-Blinker-Winker-CB900-CB900C-CB900F-Custom-900-/310597928964?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4851144804&vxp=mtr Or, is...

Well, they told me it couldn't be done.....rebuilding the leaking fuel petcock. YOu see, this particular petcock is riveted together. You can only replace the 1980 to 1982 CB900 custom petcock. HA! I beg to differ......I came across this site in my desperation to rebuild my petcock. I refused to...

Well, it has been a long winter in Florida. LOL! Updates: I have been working slowly on the CB900 Custom. here is what is done.....she is together, motor in. I did go with a Dynojet stage 1&3 re-jet kit. Did it myself. Easy as all get out. A Mac 4/1 exhaust was installed and Moxi air pods were...

Ok.....here goes.....My father in law got me a set of directional signals from the local Triumph dealer (Motorcycle Enthusiasts). They are 2 wire (Yellow and Black), universal. I have the wiring diagram for the 1982 Honda CB900 Custom, in detail, clear, and in color. I can read a wiring...

Thanks Big Rich.....I found what I needed.....1981 GS650EX. Awesome....i so do appreciate it.

Well, I haven't posted in a while. But, I have been working on the bike. I picked up a few pieces from a 1983 GS650. I am using the headlight bucket, front brake, clutch, and light switch (as it gives me the option for on/off headlight). I am also "re-shaping" a 30 year old Corbin "Atomic Foam"...
