I'm staying in Laguna Beach for a couple weddings for the next week. Anybody have any recommendations on anything moto-related, shops, bars, or restaurants to check out in the area? I've only been there once for a total of 36 hours to attend a conference in Anaheim. Other than that, sorta flying...

Does anyone know what size spring to get to replace the Clutch Lever Spring for the CB450 K3? I've read other people picking one up from the hardware store but have no idea on the length. The OEM part number is: 22815-283-000. My local parts dealer, along with CMSNL say it's discontinued. Mine...

While tearing down my front end, I took off the Tarozzi Lo-Rise clip on's I had put on this summer. But the two pieces, the top portion (clamps handle bar) won't come apart from the bottom portion (clamps fork tube). I've tried soaking them in PB Blaster and lightly boiling them, but these...

While I've found the clarified wiring diagrams (Like Glen's) and other colored versions, sometimes its still difficult to follow these things when wiring routes overlap. So while I was bored at work on Friday, I made this in Paint.net (a freeware Paintshop-like program)...

It's been pretty quiet in this section for awhile now, but I'm still throwing this out there for any of you NE DTT'ers out there. I've been into photography all my life but only recently really put out a concerted effort to do something with it. Since I'm into bikes too, I'd like to practice my...

In need of a front brake caliper to finish my build. I accidentally snapped a speed bleeder in it and then an extractor! :( trying to find a used replacement before I resort to paying a machine shop to drill it (if they even can)

So I've been in the process of rebuilding the front caliper on my CB450 K3 (with a K5 front end). I was waiting on Speed Bleeders to come in from DCC. Today they showed up, and not more than 3 hours later, I find myself with the bleeder valve snapped in half while I was tightening it down. :'(...

So I'm in the market for a new cordless impact tool. My hand-me-down cordless 12V driver battery shit the bed again, and I don't want to buy another one. So I'm going to upgrade myself to an 18V Li-Ion. I mainly need a cordless driver for standard man-of-the-house duties, building shelves...

Hey guys, I know this is a simple question but its worth asking. What methods do you use to remove paint from tight corners, lips, and around tricky areas on your bikes? I'm stripping and repainting my tank, and while its easy to remove paint with paint stripper and course sandpaper, I feel...

Dunno if anyone here knows of Das Busa, or Das Busa creatures... if not, here's the urban dictionary definition: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Das%20Busa. A portly hayabusa rider adorned with a shiny WW2 Nazi helmet. my buddy who rides an SV650 and is a member at Svrider.com...

A couple weeks ago I gave my buddy a hand on putting a new Delkevic slip on muffler onto his SV650. He left me the tube of Permatex Copper RTV that we used to seal up the joint (from instructions). Now, I took the mufflers off my CB450 to clean them up and am putting them back on soon. I'm...

Had this posted on my blog, but figured I'd post it here for anyone curious about the Shorai battery sizes. This is for the LFX12A1-BS12 (12ah/12v) there's a Keihin petcock between the two for scale. Bought it on Amazon, for $129.95 with free shipping. Came packaged nicely, with a ton of...

What's the consensus? I am rebuilding my front forks on my CB450 and they already had progressive springs in them. I didn't keep track of their orientation while disassembling them. The internet is rife with opinions, tighter coils up, tighter coils down, it doesn't matter either way. Does...

I did a quick search and found some topics from a few years back related to these. I'm wondering if anyone out there is running one right now? I'm interested in getting a fighter pilot style (not necessarily with all the faux-military decals) to go with the bike I'm building. Plus, I just...

Greetings hooligans. I'm here to start my build log thread and catch you all up on the current work I've done since starting this build 2 weeks ago. I started documenting the build on my blog, so I'm going to copy and paste several sections here just so I can get caught up quicker. Background...

Hey guys - so I'm pulling my fork tubes out to send them off to Frank's for shortening. They are in pretty good shape, some slight surface rust and no pitting in the travel areas. These are extended forks, but I'm not sure exactly how extended they are. First time builder here, long time...

Hey guys - Long time lurker, first time poster here. This forum has been a great resource while I gauge taking on a cafe racer build. Spent quite a good time looking for a bike on CL and eBay and finally got one off my friend this past weekend. Therefore, the project has been officially started...
