When you changed the suspension what did your seat height end up at? What suspension did you use? Good looking bike by the way.

Are you going to cafe them? If you don't mind my asking did you get a good deal on the iron heads? Seems like around here the newer bikes can be had for less. I figure I can get a good 1200 for $3500 with low miles. But it also seems the majority are the custom models which I want to avoid.

Curious if anyone has done one or is in the process. I have been thinking on one for a few reasons...they can be had cheap(ish), there is a million engine components parts and upgrades, there are a ton to choose from on the used market, and I think they are pretty good bikes. I was looking at...

I have a used fiberglass seat that has 1/16" holes from snaps for a pad. Is there an easy way to fill these. I am lazy. Actually I am concerned that what I do may screw up the smooth appearance of the seat. Any help is appreciated.

The right tool sure helps. This also demonstrates how linear the human mind can be. I build log homes for a living and I used to use impact wrenches to dive lag screws. I have literally thousands of hours using impacts, and yet it never occured to me to use one in this application. You live...

Grabbed an impact wrench from the office today and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the replys guys!

So I have a '72 CL350 that I am turning into a cafe. I took the headlight ears off and found that the tubes were badly pitted. No problem I also have a '73 for a future project and those tubes are in good shape, I was gonna replace the seals anyway so I will just swap them out. Or will I... I...

Oh' I am not offended. I am just disturbed because animation shouldn't give a man that "funny" feeling ;)

You know trek, those animated girls are a bit disturbing. They are just cartoons, and yet...

Well I priced re-chroming the 18" wheels and that aint happening. So 19" it is. I may get those 18" powdercoated for my second build.

About the tires I was looking at the Avon AM26 which comes in a 19 as best I can tell.

C'mon guys, all I am really asking is if handling would suffer with the 19" vs the 18". Anybody have any experience. And I have to throw a little more into the mix. I intend to slide the forks up 1" and get lower shocks for the back. Would this shorten the trail back up and improve handling? I...

Re: Universal - Adjustable Rearset So just that I understand... These pegs are ready for a CL350? Do I need to adapt the passenger peg mounts or bolt them straight on?

I just got the tins back today for my 68 triumph. I had them done by Brent at the Vintage Vendor http://www.vintage-vendor.com/index.html in Vermont. They were put back to original and they look fabulous. I will be sending my next project to him as soon as I can. His turn around was great and...

I have two CL350s One has a disc cb forks. One has the original Cl forks. The CL wheels are in good shape but are drum. The CB looks like crap but is disk. I wouls need to relace the cb hubs into new wheels to use them. Now I have read that the disc is not much better than the drum. But what...

Yes seat pan only. What is an idea of weight savings, are we talking ounces or a couple of pounds?

Thinking on my first build, maybe a '78 CB550 if the guy calls back. I've got ideas about the bike, first and foremost I want it to run well and be safe as it will likely be my wife's. But eventually I will want to change the tank and seat, and therein lies the question. Please tell me of the...
