Hey everyone! I'm looking to make a low slung, fast looking, cool bobber/racer type thing. I use the word "type" in this instance because it'll be a little different than what people think of when they hear the words bobber or cafe racer. I thought about posting this in specials and this was...

Hey everyone! I just happened to stumble upon a listing on craigslist for a "Honda 200" with no pictures and a price of 200 bucks. According to the ad, it ran, and that's all I needed to know! Messaged the guy and set up a meeting the next day to check out this thing. This is what greeted me...

Well, I finally did it, I fell off the deep end. There was a guy out here that had a 71 Yamaha cs3 200cc 2stroke for dirt cheap. It was ugly and didn't run. He claimed the usual "ran when parked" which I NEVER believe. At the end of his ad he said he was interested in some trades, and it just so...

Hey everyone! I used to own a cl175 a couple years back and have regretted selling it ever since. So, one day i got a wild hair and decided to put an ad out on CL looking for a cb or cl 175. A few weeks went by and finally someone contacted me with a fairly decent deal on a CL175 that he...

Hey everyone! I was contacted recently to diagnose a non starting problem on a gentlemans KZ400. After a little bit of tinkering in the guys garage i had it narrowed down to needing new points. So, we get to talking and next thing you know, not only am i going to replace his points, but im...

Hey everyone! I just picked up a 1978 Suzuki GS1000. When i grabbed it, the carbs were off, and the tank didnt have a petcock. I now have a petcock on it and the main 5/16in fuel line hooked up to the T between carbs 2 and 3. However, there are smaller hoses coming off carbs 2, 3 and 4 that i...

Hey Guys! I picked this little gem up for about $400. It would crank, but not start up, so i thought "eh, why not!" Got it home, and immediately pulled the carbs to clean them. They were fairly foul with a little bit of varnishing on the jets, but overall in pretty decent shape. Slapped those...

Hey everyone! Im helping out my buddy on his 76 GL1000, and we are at a weird crossroads. It starts and runs ONLY when the starter button is pressed. Once you let go of the starter button, it stops. Couple sticking points: We are jumping the bike from a separate battery, since the one in it...

Hey all! Found this MC1b on craigslist. So, I figured it would make a good cafe beater project. Originally this was going to be a real quick build. However, the more I looked at it, the more it grew on me, and I felt I had to put a little bit more effort into it. This is how I got it: With...
