    Dirt From Studs In Crankcase.... Cleaning Tips?

    While pulling the head/cylinders a bunch of dirt and sand came out from around the studs and has fallen into the crankcase. Not a handful but a good amount and enough that I am posting on here. Can I just pull the oil plug and try to flush it out? I really was trying to avoid pulling it all...

    Rear Plate Holder - non seat/top mounted.... Ideas?

    Ive seen a ton of these in photos but nothing being sold anywhere. I'm trying to remove as many easy things that can get me pulled over and a ticket - one of which is a sideways mounted plate. I might incorporate a small "fender" in it as well... But doubt it. I am fine with throwing it...

    FOX Podium RC1 shocks - Help

    I wanted to give an update to my situation with these 325mm RC1's from Cognito Moto. After reading that last reply I reached out to Devin fully prepared to return them and order something different. Right away he was willing to have me return them no questions and no issues, OR have Fox fix them...

    Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC - Seattle Area

    Re: Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC Cognito Moto sells a hoop with built in brake/turn signals. Really cleans up the rear end.

    FOX Podium RC1 shocks - Help

    FunJimmy - What did you end up doing? Order the Racetech spring or return them to Devin? I blindly ordered them without searching for reviews and then found your threads when trying to understand why I am not able to set the sag. I spent more than I paid for the original bike on these, and...

    1973 CB350G Canadian Noob Build (Gotta start somewhere!)

    Love the updates. Shooting for the same goal of next weekend! How scary was it (is it..?) with the looming postal strike! Suddenly I am paying extra attention to how things are being shipped. I ordered the same brake line kit from Revival for my rear brake... did they give you a better idea of...

    1973 CB350G Canadian Noob Build (Gotta start somewhere!)

    More Questions! - Looks like you have two grounds coming from the handlebar switches, a red and black. Is this what I am seeing? - What are the tiny black squares that look like they connect multiple wires? Ex. Turn L out side right after the M-unit? Is it just a splice? - Your brake light, is...

    1973 CB350G Canadian Noob Build (Gotta start somewhere!)

    Your wiring diagram is saving me enormous amounts of time. I am doing Motogadget Pro, Switches, M-Button, and M-Unit as well however I am adding in the Dyna 2000, along with no alarm (you don't like the M-Unit alarm?). So it's almost identical - thank you! - Shouldn't the fuse be located...

    CB750F DOHC - Seat Pan/Mounting

    I cut that back bracket out, and welded in an upset hoop. I've accepted that the seat will be done custom. The seat pan I cut and then shaped with a hammer to curl the edges. Added a small bend down the center to add strength. It's probably overkill but will see when all done.

    Love the lines. Keep doing what your doing minus using passenger peg mounts! Spend the extra time and do it right ;)

    Modern rearsets and drum brakes

    I feel your pain. I found it hard to navigate 20 pages of per build to find one good example. Search on here and google will be your best help!
