This is on the 81/82 CB650 engine I picked up. The little tubes that come up from between carbs 1 & 2, and 3 @ 4. I would imagine that they go into the little box or pipe that connects to the crank case vent then to the airbox, but not sure. I paid $70 for these tubes, so they damn well...

It's a 1979 Yammy XS400 cafe that I've built over the last year or so. Ok, just to let you all know, I'm not selling this..... yet. Just kinda testing out the waters a little to see what someone would be willing to pay for it. Am shooting for around $4500 with all the extra goodies. Extras...

Was chatting with my boss and a salesman today and my boss was talking about a bike that a buddy of his is rebuilding. Now, my boss doesn't know anything about bikes other than his plasticy, ugly DL1000, let alone know what he's talking about with vintage stuff. He said it's a Honda, CB550...

I found a 78 GS1000 for sale in the area yesterday while driving through some side streets. I called the guy and this is what he told me: $1500 as is 43000km needs rear tire and chain (i'd say new front tire and sprockets too while you're at it) carbs will need to be cleaned, re-done and...

Saw this tonight on Kijiji. http://kitchener.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-CVMG-RALLY-SHOW-AND-2-DAY-SWAP-MEET-AUGUST-23RD-AND-24TH-W0QQAdIdZ59040778 Has anybody been in the past? Is it worth going to? Basically like the Paris meet? It's pretty much in my back yard, even compared to...

Last weekend I picked up that CB650 SOHC 4 engine from Randy (harper750) for a buddy of mine. It's an 80 or 81 from what I understand. I think he plans to put it in a 4 wheeler or something. Anyways, a free engine doesn't come without a catch. So, in an effort to get this thing run-able for...

Just out of curiosity, thought it would be interesting to all share what our day jobs are. We all know we spend all our free time wrenchin in the garage on these old lumps. But how do we fund these crazy labors of love? I guess I'll go first. I'm an Electrical Engineering Technologist...

For those of you that know what a Colortune is, you know it's not easy to find locally. There's a guy in the GTA that has a 14mm set, brand new. He said I could have it for $45 shipped to my door. That's a fair bit cheaper than most of the ebay ones. I'd have it already, but I need 12mm...

Yes, exhaust studs. Not on my bike, but on my buddy's 77 GS750. He got excited and went and took the stock exhaust off without spraying any penetrating oil on them like I told him to do. The bike's been sitting in someone's garage for years, so it's been a while since it ran. He broke 3 of...

Well, I've decided the XS650 needs a new camchain guide. I have the engine out and the head loose. The only problem is the oil delivery tube. The nut on the fitting at the base does NOT want to let go. I've sprayed fluid film on it for a day, heated it up with a heat gun, but still it won't...

I'm looking for a headlight for the 400 project. It's a 5 3/4" and the bucket isn't too deep. I've seen some on ebay and stuff, but a lot of them are for a set. Just wondering if anyone has bought a set and has no use for the other one. I was looking for something kinda like this one...

Just got the XS650 running again. Now I notice while riding that there's a fairly loud tappety sound coming from the right side. It started late last year, but wasn't really even noticeable unless you knew what you were listening for. I just thought, "meh, it's an old bike, it's supposed to...

I cleaned out the garage a few weeks back. If anyone is interested in any of this stuff lemme know. Make an offer, chances are I'll take it. Gotta thin the herd, there may be another bike coming soon (not mine). Anyone need a 1976 YOM plate? This is from back in the days when a plate was...

Found an ad on Kijiji about these beads. I messaged the guy and asked him if they work well for bikes. Of course he said they work fantabulous, not gonna knock his own product. They're small ceramic beads, and supposed to be alright for your tires with tubes as well. Anybody use these or...

I have a copy of Rock Band for PS2, brand new, still in the wrapper. I bought just the game back when it came out, then a few weeks ago bought the whole set with the drums, guitar, mic and game. I don't need two copies. This works with the normal Guitar Hero guitars as well, and Singstar...

Damn is this ever tempting!!!!!!! Decent price and even looks in decent shape. He says it's rough, but I've seen worse...... SHIT!!! I wish I had $750 just laying around! How much do kidneys go for on the black market? Anybody need some XS parts? Have 650 and 400 stuff. Also spare 400...
