More than I need. I'm actually going to run up to the gun shop, and pick-up another Mosin.

I was searching around ebay while I wait for my jacket from leatherup to be returned because it didn't fit and I saw this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brando-Bikers-Black-Motorcycle-Leather-Jacket-Racer-Punk-Vintage-Cow-Hide-/150673139662?pt=US_CSA_MC_Outerwear&var=&hash=item68c878c2cf At...

you make a good point aboutt he tank. The Sportster tank is a bit ubiquitous in the world of motorcycles. I can buy a similar tank to the one on the Huwei bike for about $159.

For now the plan is to keep the Sportster tank. It seems to be mounted well, it's free, and it is new [Despite all the crud on it top of it.] As far as the seat. I may weld a portion of the loop back on the bike and fabricate a custom seat pan kind of like a lot of Bratstyle builds have, shape...

Now what to do with it? I have wanted two bikes for a while now. One is a Yamaha SR500 and the other is a Yamaha XS650. I was about to buy a local Honda CB500, but I have already built a couple of Honda SOHC Fours, and when I told a buddy at work about the imminent purchase, he asked if I...

I will.

Yeah... that's the one I was looking for. Thanks for the quick reply! I had been looking at their site and I couldn't seem to find that specific jacket. I went there this morning through your link and they said that they only had one left. Fortunately it was a large, so I ordered it. I...

Can you post a link to it?

Re: DO THE TON - Alabama October 2011 Hey guys, I'm glad to hear all that are attending. I was there last year, but I didn't know about this forum. :( Mrs. Irishguy and I will both be there this year too. We only live a few mies away, so if anyone needs anything or I can help with...

Welcome. I haven't been posting here much, because I haven't had a project bike or anything. But I visit here from time to time. I would be interested to get some local folks up for a ride. Maybe up to Litttle River Canyon or somethign like that.

Is it the Nighthawk or the Nighthawk S 700SC? A friend of mine just bought a 1984 Nighthawk 700SC and I rode the bike home for him. I liked the bike so much that I am currently looking to add one to the stable. The engine is sweet, the suspension and handling is much better than I would have...

I bought one of these at Barber this year that was already broken in for $40. Mine does not have the armor though. I like it and it has a nice vintage look...

I completely agree. I had the same helmet and wore it one time. That was enough. I sold it over on my Triumph Forum for $50. I have a Rockhard helmet on the way. We will see how it feels.

Sorry... It just sold over on the Triumph forum today. Thanks for the interest.

Just giving this a bump guys... I just lowered the price to $55 shipped.
