Re: 4 to 2 Exhaust CB500 550 Do you have pics of these pipes? I'd like to take a look but am very interested.

Ok. Stupid question but I cant seem to google it... I want to put some magnesium star wheels on my 73 CB500, (18 in back, 19 in front) replacing the stock spoked ones. What will work for me? I am running the stock drum brake setup in the back, and stock fork up front. I really like the clean...

Found this on the local newspaper website. If I didn't already have a project I'd probably jump on it. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=16155023&cat=144&lpid=1&search= From the listing: "Ive got one very clean 72" cl350 scrambler. it has about 9,000 miles and...

Only the front fender on this baby isnt stock. (I have it if you want it though) Comes with Clymer manual and original tool pouch. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=16096135 Located in Salt Lake City, Utah. $750 - but has to go to good home!

I know this probably isnt the place. But those links caught my eye. I am in Salt Lake City, Utah and getting rid of my 74 Yamaha DT125. Its in fantastic shape but could use a carb clean/tune. It doesn't idle smoothly, but everything else is great. Instead of spending $500 on a non running bike...

I have friends that work at the local ER... they always call motorcyclists "organ donors" - btw... if you haven't signed up you really should just in case. They always say... "While I don't like wiping my own ass... I don't want anyone else to do it for me" So wear a helmet!

I sent you a PM also. I would love to help you get rid of the clubmans. Send me your Paypal and I will get you the money ASAP. Anthony.

Chris. I am getting my clipons soon (I hope) and will have rebuilt my forks by then. I mounted them up real quick and it looked to be fine. I may still make a couple changes. I picked up a CB750 frame that came with tripples and thought about using those, they seem to give me just a little...

Jimmy, Thanks a lot for that idea! Its often the simplest of fixes that are the best... and easiest to overlook. I ordered a brake light from a modern bike so will have to wait for it to come before I can really re-design the tail. I had a couple minutes at work so decided to model the...

Ringo... Thanks - any criticism is constructive if you are open to it - so keep it coming!. That same thought came up this weekend while staring at it over a cup of coffee. I do plan on going over the whole thing again re-evaluating the style and making sure it all "plays well together" I...

I am planning on separating the tank and seat but wanted something sturdy to model and get a good look at the shape before glassing. I do plan on putting supporting glass channels under the seat, and also adding layers at the front where the hinge will mount. I ground all the factory seat mounts...

To me it doesn't feel like I have made much progress at all in the last few weeks. I think the tank is symmetrical, but I want to go through one more step to make sure. I have both blinker recesses cut, and have an idea for putting a nice hemispherical shape in each, without having to eyeball...

Kid, Resins do not dry. There is a chemical reaction between the resin and the hardener that occurs (exothermic, so it creates some heat) This is what actually sets the resin. This can catch you by surprise in a couple different ways if you aren't aware of it. It can actually melt plastic...

Thanks a lot for that idea! I'm going to try that tonight when I get home.

Thanks! I really hope this pays off because my whole garage (and possibly neighborhood) has been covered with dust from me sanding so much! I am going to have to pull everything out and clean before moving forward once the sanding is done. Maybe I should take a second and ask people on this...
