The price seems a bit high. But if it is in really good shape then it could call for $2000. There are a lot of things to think about when getting a 30 year old bike. All of the parts may look good and working but remember they may not have been used all that much. Plus if the weather is as nice...
even if your mechanic adjusted the cam tensionor he probably didn't look at the wheel to see if there was anything left. Mine was completly fubar. I'd take the adjuster off and then look to see if there is a wheel, with a grove in the middle for the chain to run on. I believe you can see it...
I'd buy an XS650 at a deal in a second. You could do a cafe, bobber, chopper, or restore and it would all be good. I'm talking about the twins. I think no matter what you get you'll have fun.
Re: Best bike for a cafe project?
If I had to pick I'd pick the CB550, I have the same year and model and all you would need to do is put clubman's on, new seat/tail, and thats about it. The frame from the tank back is pretty flat and is almost the same size as the 750's. That means you can buy...
I used their gun metal gray color to match my 04 ford ranger. I was painting a black plastic grille to match the rest of the truck. It turned out good. my only complaint is that it came out kind of flat looking. I used the best clear I could find in a rattle can, but it seems a little flat, and...

When you put it back in use the old one to push against and protect the new one.
most home depot type stores should have some kind of polishing kit for a drill. I know i have a ryobi one that uses a 4" polishing wheel, and it's just a threaded bolt that has some locking nuts and washers on it, and then tappers down to the size of a drill chuck.
Some of the time the reasoning is to check for rust or other hidden issues. If you are welding or modifying the frame you'll need bare metal on the frame. Some people just want that new luster from the frame up.
As far as tank I'd say strip it every time you paint it. It will allow you to get a...
I want some new headers for my 350 twin but I can't weld. I was wondering what it would cost (ballpark) to have someone custom make some headers that don't swoop as much as the stockers. I also want it to be a 2 into 1 system. I know Mac exhaust makes a kit but the tip is hideious! I was...
