    cm 450a tank on a cm250?

    Would any of you guys happen to know if a cm 450a tank will fit on a cm250 c custom? I'm going to attempt to fix up a little cafe racer for my 10 year old grandson. I think I found a fairly clean 450 tank and the 250 tanks seem far and few between. BTW if the front mounts would work I can come...

    Ways to wire GPS

    I was looking for ways to wire up for a GPS. It would be nice if I could use one of the wires from the speedo lights I'm not going to be needing. It would be nice to avoid the cigarette lighter thing but I don't know if that's possible. Being that it reduces the voltage.

    Cleaning metal with acid

    Hey, what acid makes metal brittle? I remember someone mentioned how a certain acid would make a chain brittle. The reason I'm asking is because I like using Hydrogen Chloride to clean metal parts with it, but no one else should because it could be dangerous.

    Wire Insulation Types

    Okay so I've been ordering the pricey GXL wire when I need wire. I read that the wire you can get at autozone is PVC and does not stand up to heat that well. I don't really know if the XLPE is the best for motorcycle application or not. I also can't seem to find out what type was used on the...

    Master cylinder options needed!

    I decided to give drag bars a try on my Gl500 but the master cylinder is at a angle. It also has dual rotors. I think MC's will interchange but the bore is what makes a difference. Dime City has a selection but they dont specify what they will work with. Input appreciated!
