    '73 CB450 rolling chassis

    What you see is what you get. No paperwork, so the frame may or may not be useful. Handlebar is bent. Either way, $50 takes it. Hopefully I've priced it attractively enough that it justifies taking the whole thing, even if you just wanted the fenders, for instance. It can be assumed that...

    '68 CL450 Scramblin' Man

    Well, I'm back. I picked this bike up last spring and managed to update a few things on it before the riding season ended last fall. The last good riding day of the year, I decided to ride it like it had modern suspension and brakes, and the subsequent front end wash-out (those drums are...

    '81 XJ650--Project "Maxim Destruction"

    I started with a bone-stock 1981 Midnight Maxim 650... BARE bone stock. It was in boxes. The previous owner's son had taken it to vo-tech to work on a hard starting/cold running issue, and well, it never made it out of surgery in one piece. It took me a while to decide what type of project...

    New member greetings from rainy W. Pennsylvania

    I'm working on a 1981 Yamaha Xj650, stripping all of the bulbous '80s "comfort bike" styling, and turning it into a fun single-seat scoot. More cafe than street fighter, and my budget dictates that this one has more of a ragged edge to it. I have spent the last year putting it together and...
