Spent some alone time with my cafe bike this weekend. Gave her a bath, and some fresh oil. We discussed it, and she agrees...it is time to go to a new owner. One that will ride her like she deserves to be ridden. So I posted my baby on craigslist, and thought I would post her here also, just...

I bought these with the intent of mounting them on my 73 TX650 cafe bike, and never got around to it. They are the knurled folding model. brand new in box still. Also have a brake arm and shifter connector. Ordered these from fast from the past for about $225 ($170 for rearsets, $34 for brake...

Since my 73 TX650 cafe bike is pretty much done, I have been collecting parts to get started on my 1978 XS650 brat project. The bike is a standard model that I picked up this spring from a buddy for $40. A bit of a basket case at the moment. He started to rebuild the motor in the late 80's...

I am wanting to have a buddy cut something to put on the sides of my battery box cover. Initially I was thinking the Yamaha tuning forks like this: But I also like the ton-up logos I have seen floating around...but don't want to bogart someone elses design. Does anyone else have any ideas...

I still have some little things I want to do yet this summer (install my rear-sets), but I put 100 miles on it this weekend, and it is running great! Will powder coat the frame and finish cleaning up the motor next winter. Took a little longer than I had planned on, but worth every minute of...

My brother has been diggin my TX650 project, and wanting one of his own. He rides a suzuki SV650 currently. Well, I found him a good deal on a 78 CX500 today. Runs good. Doesn't leak anything. Just needs some TLC. $500. I've got my clubmans and a bunch of other left over parts to easily...

A guy on the XS forum was asking about it. Wondering if anyone here has tried it? http://www.vintagecosmo.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=44&products_id=228&osCsid=047105d8772cb02937a52c059c09a670

I bought a set of cocktail shakers to run on my TX650, but they don't seem to fit right. I would need to cut the headers and build an adapter to make them fit. Anyways, I am looking for input on other ideas? Would highpipes look out of place with the Manx seat? I love the looks of Omar's...

Haven't quite finished the cafe bike yet, but I cleaned up my other ride last night and took some pictures on the way to work this morning. This is my other baby. A 2003 Honda VTX 1800cc Retro. I am constantly changing it up! Before the hot-rod bagger look, I was rocking 20" apes. The...

Brand new. $25 + shipping....

I need to clean up some greeeeezy oily parts on the motor this weekend....what works best for removing that shit? Preferrably something that doesn't need to be rinsed off afterwards. If their is such a thing!

Me and a friend are buying a wheel truing stand and are going to attemp true-ification of our wheels this weekend. Another buddy has a No-Mar tire changer so we are going to borrow his garage and true the wheels and install our new skins. Is there any tips or tricks anyone can recommend to...

Has anyone used the ones that Fast from the Past sells? I believe they are Tarozzi. Is there a better option for adjustable clip-ons for a better price? High rise/Low-rise/offset? My 73 TX650 has 34mm Tubes...

Found a guy who could do a chrome powder with clearcoat...says it will look very much like polished aluminum. Curious if anyone has done this before?

I am loving the looks of this tank, just having a hard time finding one to try out. Currently I have been mocking up with an XS750 tank, but the GS tank has a more boxy look like I want. Anyone know where I could find one? There is one on ebay now, but it is fairly banged up and I am hoping...

I am looking for opinions. Will a Manx style of seat look alright with this style of tank? I was intending on running the fiberglass tail section in that picture, but am not coming up with a goo way to mount it and make it look like is is supposed to be there. The XS frame is too wide...

Making some progress. I picked this up from a guy who wanted it out of his way. Got it running and started to cafe it out. Waiting in the wings are a XS750 gas tank, and a fiberglass tailpiece....that just arrived today! Can't wait to get wrenching again. Waiting on parts sucks The day I...

I bought this for my 73 TX650, but the frame is different that the 75+ 650s and it does not fit like they said it would. Before returning it, I thought I would offer it for $155 + $10 shipping. It is brand new...
