Cool beans. I did not think of that. I will try that

So nobody has encountered this problem?

Greetings all, I am putting on the clubman bar on my CB550f but am having trouble removing the lightswitch harness which is run through the inside of the old handle bar. Is there any secret or tips out there in removing it. It seems like somewhere inside the harness is 'glued' or something...

I have a CB550f and can't quite decide if I want clip-ons or clubman bars on it. I have both on hand. The clubman bar I have is from Dime City and it does not go as low as other clubmans which allows more steering and not as crouched whereas the clip-ons are definitely lower. I've seen the...

I have a CB550 and when I tried to adjust the cam chain, the screw is stuck. From what I have seen, the screw should not move when turning the nut. Mine moves with the nut. I tried holding it with the screwdriver while loosening/tightening the nut but can't keep it stationary. I am getting a...

My bike will not be ready but I will still be there....just caging it. >:(

I may be there on Sat. My bike is not ready so I will have to cage it. It'll be good to network while I'm there.

Howdy all, I have a CB 550f I have just had carbs cleaned and rejetted for new MAC exhaust. Now I have an issue with a whirling sound coming from engine when I get to top of the gear. At that point, the power falls back and when I shift up, it is fine until you get to the upper part of that...

My Cafe will be semi done by then. I could make the August date. Will keep an eye out for this.

Yes, I go to the Vintage Bike Night at Hardees on Fridays. In Willoughby right at the Vine St exit off Rt 2. Free drinks for bikers. Keeps growing every year and great place to exchange ideas or get advice. They post on CL under Vintage Bike Night

Re: Yet Another CB400F Build - "Elizabeth" Very nice! What are your plans for her?

Installed new pipes and took it for a run. Ran great. I know it had an idling problem where it would die out but it has not for me today. Only thing is that it idles good (1100rpm) but when I rev it up, it stays idling high (3000rpm). I'm thinking this could be a jet issue due to different...

I will get ya some pics.
