Hey guys, I need a hand with something... : I'm looking for a brake cable around 30-32" long. I've got a mechanical front disk, but the cables are likely swappable between drum/disk so it probably doesn't matter. Yamaha TTR50 apparently has a usable 32" brake cable, but I'm having trouble...

http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2008/06/05/r1-with-girder-front-end-update/ just picked up my next (bobber) project , less forks (and it's an uncommon bike). who's up for some homemade girders? On a more serious note - Isn't it logical that the axle is in line with the steering head? The...

WARNING: EPIC READ I've been in two minds about putting a build thread up. A few reasons come to mind - not least of which the amazing calibre of work done here, and a fear of not measuring up :) Really though, I didn't want to share until I had something worth sharing. I hope you like it...

Hey all, Seeing the jump in the little honda's of late and given our numbers are getting stronger, I wanted to create a one-stop thread for modernising the charging system. Problem is, I've got some gaping knowledge gaps with the whole thing, but that phase of my build is fast approaching. My...

Not sure about the classification, but damn: more info here: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2009/11/bmw-concept-6/

I was just reading up on bucket racing here in Aus, and came across a brilliant quote: which actually makes sense, but imagine when the next owner goes to change the oil and finds a shitload of nickels under the caps :D comedy gold right there... which brings me to the topic at hand - what's...

Hi all, I'm coming up to painting my frame and rims, and I'm looking at using a metallic red. Being that it'll be used on rims, I need something chip resistant and I've heard good things about VHT engine enamel (even comes in a metallic red!). Has anybody else painted rims rather than...

So I'm about to prep my cb125 frame for painting, and there's a fairly large open section on the underside (pressed steel frame?). Anyway, there's a bit of surface rust, and while it'll be impossible to paint in there, what can be used to weatherproof it a little better? Come to think of it...

Does anyone have a friend-of-a-friend or can recommend a shop to do mild engine work? I'll provide everything in pieces and have my own liner to fit and so forth - just need the jug bored out to accept a bigger liner and same for the crankcase...

Has anyone found a (relatively) inexpensive source for a combination cluster? I only want to use 1 gauge (so I can mount it in the headlight shell), and I don't terribly mind if it's analog or digital. The acewell gauges are ok (just OK... the blue lighting destroys the effect and I'm not sure...

All, I've come into what's looking to be my next project - a ~74 CB125. Turns out the engine is near identical to that of the (early, one piece head) CG125, TL125 and XL125, and much of the parts are interchangeable. Now I'm a big unit - Not by the USA definition (I'm probably 190 pounds) but I...
