So I brought this '80 xs1100 Special home for $500 and has clear title. It looks better in the pics than in real life. I have an xs1100 Standard frankenstein project already... I think I'm gonna put all the nicest parts on this one, sell all the ugly parts, and make the frankenstein a cafe...

Just got these for bike, helmet, other stuff. No experience with an airbrush.... let's see how goes it

Followed me home today, found on CL Obviously it needs a new front suspension, headlight, & signals. Previous owner ran it into something. An easy swap if the neck is okay. 27,009 miles, clean title on non-op at DMV, & the correct keys. Shiny unpitted chrome, the tank is like new inside. It's...

Need a front end for my new project. Anyone got a leftover factory front laying around from their GSXR conversion? I'm in San Jose, CA and willing to drive a bit, or shipping would be cool too. I don't need the wheel, I have a good wheel. Thanks

Just bought this '80 CB750 w/ bent forks (haven't picked it up yet). What Honda triple stems or 35mm forks are bolt-on? It's so complete/original that I want it to keep it as stock looking as possible. I have a GL500 front wheel already and should have the GL500 forks around here somewhere...

I love this setup, wish i had one

My #2 carb main nozzle is has less feeder holes than the others. Is this correct for the #2 carb or is it the wrong nozzle? This has 2 feeders & 3 feeders... all the others have 4 & 4. My first Yamaha, all my Hondas we're consistent. Thanks

Went to pick up a rough '81 Midnight Special for a cafe bike this morning and decided on this '79 instead, with title. Won't start but I think it's too nice to chop up, what do you think?

Is there any reason not to relocate the coil to the downtube if I make a little rock/rain shield for it? I can't think of any issues and the plug wires still reach the plugs. It won't fit in to stock location with the new tank.

Rebuilt the carb, does the body get painted? And the bowl gets polished, correct?

Most of the wiring (lights, rectifier, starter switch, etc...) on our 6volt CM185 seem to measure 18ga, does that sounds right or too small? Also, if I swap for a 12v engine will 18ga be okay or would I want 16ga for all the low amp wires? Thanks

Will the '90s Nitghthawk 250 engine swap to the early Twinstars? They seem to have the same mounting points and I'd be happy to swap an engine and harness to gain the 12volt electrics. From what I've read the Rebel 250 has the same mounting points but the sprocket has the wrong offset (or...

Whats the purpose of the Twinstar 185 air box reservoir? Can we just remove it for our cafe project or do we need to make some adjustments for the bike to run right? Thanks in advance

Converting a GL500 to cafe with a GSXR front fork swap. Looking to replace the rear GL500 air shock with a suitable replacement coil shock. Suggestions please? Thanks. Sent from my XT1635-01 using DO THE TON mobile app

Bent my first seat hoop at lunch. The one on the left was first and kinked, the one on the right came out perfect :D

NOT MINE 30 miles north of SF, with title. A good deal, somebody get it: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/5994334617.html The ad says: "Complete 1978 CX500, it's all there, nothing stripped off or missing, not a 3 dimensional jigsaw puzzle in a series of unlabeled milk crates. My brother...

Been looking at GSXR, ZX10r, and various Honda front forks. Any suggestions on an inverted fork swap for a Silverwing? Sent from my XT1635-01 using DO THE TON mobile app

New project :D So yesterday a non-running 1982 Silverwing popped on Craigslist 20 miles away with the title in his name and tags expired last year. His asking price was $100 so of course I texted. He said he already had someone that would be there the next day to get it >:( argh!!! I knew I'd...

Been searching but no luck. Anyone know if a 185 Honda Twinstar top end can be swapped for the 200 Twinstar top end... or better yet the early Rebel top ends?

FYI: We had a sales position open up unexpetedly yesterday if anyone is looking and has technical knowledge of Porsches. We also have a couple other openings in the shop ad well. We're in Santa Clara, CA which is in the south bay area near San Jose. Top of market pay for silicon valley if you...
