Just keep at it and ask lots of questions. i knew nothing when i started and now have 2 beautiful...

    Speedo problems... Help!!

    ok... that does make some sense. the other thing i just remembered is the needle started bouncing around like crazy for a minute or so before it totally went. jumping back and forth from around 80 to 120

    '80 CB750k.... "Home Wrecker!"

    yeah, thats the stock tank... only thing i did to it other than paint was lop off the bottom ears where the side covers used to snap in. as far as making more rearsets, its a possibility, but we're pretty slammed at work right now so squeezing them in may be a bit tricky...
