    "Show off your jacket" thread

    You can't go wrong with McQueen, man. But I do like the "business" off the second jacket.

    "Show off your jacket" thread

    That's quite an impressive collection o' patchies, Blake! I like the Rolling Stones and various beverage-type images. I somehow talked myself out of emblazoning Van Halen, Def Leppard and Dr. Pepper on my jacket... Busy is good.

    "Show off your jacket" thread

    I can only imagine how much that cost... I've got a Mobil Pegasus patch coming in the next day or so. Surely not vintage, so not as credible, but still... Nothing a 12-hour soak in Folgers instant coffee and some sandpaper won't fix!

    Nice. I dig the old school flavor. Reminds me, though, I still need to get me a DCC patch.

    "Show off your jacket" thread

    Thanks, Dark. Iron Pony's still selling them @ 29.99 on ebay. I might pick up a blue denim jacket, just because. As for the patches, I had them sewn on after being artificially aged. Decided that I might want to transfer the patches in the eventuality that I got a different jacket. *Edits due...

    BTW, Blake, that Vanson jacket's pretty sick. Maybe I'll go for one of those when I get out of CHEAP mode... Edit: I can't believe I used the term "sick"... So not my generation...

    "Show off your jacket" thread

    I could only wish the traditional biker jacket look fits me. Luckily, I can pull off the sportbike jackets still and I trust mine to the Tee. Actually, I've tested most of them at some point of another. To make things worse, most of the leather jackets that aren't made specifically for...

    "Show off your jacket" thread

    For denim, yeah, this isn't half-bad. I would've preferred a Perfecto-type jacket over this, but that style just doesn't work with me. I almost got a leather Members Only jacket, but I wanted something that could actually provide some kind of protection. This at least lets me pull off a...

    "Show off your jacket" thread

    Alrighty, here's my cafe-specific jacket. It's a denim River Road Ironclad jacket. Has armor in the shoulders and forearms, as well as a foam back pad. Not exactly as rough and tumble as my leathers, but it's got some style. I found this on eBay through Iron Pony, scored it for $29.99+shipping...

    Official "Show off your helmet" thread

    Alright, I guess I'm in now. Here's what's left of my Arai... Then I replaced it with a KBC VR-2R. I like my helmets LOUD. Apparently, I've taken up a small collection of Bell helmets... Here's my Revolver, Rally Shorty and an older '85 Bell Star LTD lid.

    L-ski's '78 GS550

    Hey... I've seen that bike in Retro Moto, right? Your GS was inspired me to work on my 550. I could only wish it was as clean as yours L-ski.

    DO THE TON - Barber Vintage Festival - Alabama October 7-8-9 2011

    Re: DO THE TON - Alabama October 2011 Two wheels or four.... I'll be there. Maybe this time, I'll actually get to look for y'all!

    Does anyone have a kick only wire diagram?

    You could always run a capacitor with your (smaller) battery tied into it. I did this on my neighbor's CB360, using the stock wiring harness. With both in place, the bike could be kickstarted with both head and tail lights. I switched the tail out to an LED unit to reduce draw and planned on...

    $50 mod thread

    Here's one I hope hasn't been posted already... For those of us that own bikes with sketchy pasts (and four pounds of body-filler on our tanks), I've recently discovered a way to strip paint without harming the bondo that lies beneath. Oven cleaner. More specifically, 99 cent oven cleaner...

    '04 - 06 CB600F "599" Windscreen/Flyscreen $40 shipped in USA *PICS ADDED*

    As the title says, I've got a Genuine Honda fly/windscreen that belongs to a Honda 599 for sale. I recently picked up from eBay for my GS550 project, but its not what I want... So, I thought I'd see if anyone here wants it before I list it on eBay next week. It will fit most 7 inch headlights...

    Another XS650 tracker... Codename: "Gemma"

    Wow, it's been a minute since I've logged in... Sorry for the wait! To answer your question, it's a 2000mAh CAMCORDER battery from Radio Shack. The Shack in Franklin had about 5 of these on clearance for $2 a pop. I scooped each and every last one of them up. Definitely cannot be used to...
