so the local parts shops cant get my sealed beam anymore so I am faced with either tracking down a used headlight or getting a whole new assembly shipped to me at the speed of light so I can actually ride this beast. Are there any shops in canada that you guys use that might have some slick...

1978 kz200. how generic are rear shocks? I need a set of new shocks that are A LOT stiffer than the ones I have, possibly even a half inch or so longer. what do I need to know to go about finding some from the dumbasses at the parts counter without too much soul pain. I'm thinking what are...

what can I buy at canadian tire tomorrow that will do this? anything else I should pick up while I'm there?

here she is , not quite up and running yet but I couldnt wait to show off the new seat! bars still need to go lower IMHO and still a little bit of wiring to go in yet but shes shaping up just how I imagined. when I got her not the same bike but a lower angle pic to get a better idea of the...

getting some extreme hesitation from my kz200 and I need some advice in my jetting saga. what does bogging like: power-boggggggg-pow-boggggg-powerrrrrrrrrrr-bog-rrrrrrrrrrrrr mean? thought about the float but it did eventually get a good supply and even out so I dont think it was running out of...

am I crazy for thinking that I might be able to find a seat somewhere out in internetsville that might fit my little single? I have put a little thought into moulding my own but I feel that it might turn out like a lot of my pet projects ie. over budget, and not the quality I want. I have...
