    Picked up a 1976 Yamaha XT500 last night that I have BIG plans for, probably cafe / brat style...

That SuperTrapp exhaust has a nice rumble behind that thumper (supposedly the...

    Thinking of selling one of my cb360's...

    So I am thinking about selling one of my cb360's and use the funds to find a 750 to start as my next project. But I have no idea how to price it - I live in DFW and the market seems good for these bikes, and there are not many for sale currently, when they do come up for sale in similar...

    Texas Special version 2.0

    And so it begins, I spent about a day trouble shooting the "new" cb360 to get her to run. Ended up being a frayed wire coming from the points - after they were patched, she came to life and everything works and it runs fairly well. So then I tore down both 360's and am beginning to scheme my...
