I'm looking for a grab rail/grab handle, or whatever name you call it by. This will be going on my '72 CB750. I'm not sure if the handles are the same from '72 to '76. Let me know what you have. I need this.

You need to consider what the drilling angle of the rim is. Your rear rim may have a different drilling angle that won't work correctly with your front hub. In this case, your spokes may have a slight bend in them (they should be strait). Whenever shopping for rims that are already drilled it is...

A lot of people have had good luck with Bridgestone BT45's. I like them, too. Use the tire manufactures guidelines of rim width to select the right width tire. This will yield a better handling bike. Wide tires don't necessarily work better on the wrong sized rim. But, if you are after looks...

Been busy with life, and other bikes more news soon. Ciao,

I set up a customer's rear disk wheel like yours with a 2.50x18 Borrani (about $225 shipped). He uses it for vintage road racing and is happy with it.

The stock engine was as stated. Street engine with a fresh .25 (first overbore). I removed the rotor from the engine after setting the timing. I retained the stock carbs and jets. I did file the carbs out a little. I reused the original head and base gasket, but gave 'em a bit more torque (no...

Thanks guys. I'm more of a motorbike guy than a forum guy.

Messaging if interested works too. Bike is in Wisconsin, $1800.

I'm selling my 1975 CB200. It's a nice bike. 4600 original miles. In original unrestored condition. Battery, tires and tach have been replaced. Comes with original tool kit and owners manual. Ready to ride. Message me, if interested.

This one will be pretty mild. My best finish with the gold bike was a second at Road America in the 160 class. The engine on the gold bike is stock, with the exception of a fresh (1st over bore) set of pistons and rings. I ran stock carbs, and stock jets. The gold bike runs good, and everyone...

Here's the old bike.

Having raced a mostly stock CB175 AHRMA racer, I've decided to leave the old bike alone and build something a little faster. I'm building a new 175 vert based race bike using parts mostly from Motocicli Veloci, who I represent. Here's a mock up. Everything is not in it's final place, just a...

I can supply Italian hand built clip-ons in a variety of styles and inclination angles, as the US rep for Motocicli Veloci. Check 'em out! http://www.motocicliveloci.it/inglese/catalogue/manubri_uk.htm

Not sure who's building 4LS brakes in the UK. There are some being made in Hungary. I can help you with Fontana's, Oldani's, and Ceriani's that are made in Italy. Ciao

I vintage road race on Borrani Record 14's which are the Borrani's that have been made to the factory's specs, then dimpled, drilled and stamped at the Borrani factory. These rims are good quality. We are slowly phasing these rims out and focusing on the 100% Italian made Record 11's. I am also...
