I was going to replace stock carbs with a CB500T set, but the set I bought were pretty crummy, and mine are running pretty strong. I highly suggest replacing your old stock coil with a performance dyna coil, before completely reworking carbs. This is the best mod that has helped my bike become a...

I have been thinking about rearsets and have seen this set up on custom racers lately and have been digging it. anyone recognize the parts on these foot pegs ? I guess they are built with standard shifter toe nobs, with built up areas for rod connection, and integrated bearing for rotating. I...

Yep I am in San Diego, And I also love the weather out here, now that my bike is running I like it even more. I am probably going to skip the small jumps and go right into the back flip. So technically i will be jumping the bike over myself.

Bike is running strong and the plugs have a great milky tip. I have been working on this round of modifications for over a year and am really happy with how good its running. New coil is strong, and lower bars with new tapered bearings are very smooth. after market speedo works, battery is...
