Well i'm all set to paint my tins BUT have come up against a brick wall. Ya can see (kinda) my colour choices for the bike here http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=44598.0 But i'm having trouble with deciding what to do. I "kinda" have an 'Art Deco' theme in mind for the...

I bought an '88 Honda CD250U 'bout 18 months ago and now i'm wondering if it was really a good idea lol. Any way i have a question. Is there anywhere i can find a site where i can cross reference part numbers to see if any parts are shared between my bike and any other Honda. I know the motor...

Thought i'd start a thread for my build. It's going to be a very mild 'cafe racer' but more of a cross between a restoration & modification. It's a 1988 Honda CD250u, they weren't available in the US. It uses the same motor as the CB two fifty (CB250N) & 250 Rebel (CMX i think it is) Anyway, i...

Hi all. Having trouble finding a copper item i need for a project but can find plenty of stainless items around. If i lived in the northern hemisphere i'd have no problem at all getting what i want. Question is, would copper plating adhere to stainless steel? I've read quite a bit on how to...

Any members had any experience with the Foreign Legion? Just curious as my 20 year old (one of twins) has just informed me he's going to join. He's always wanted to do something along those lines (milatary wise) but nothing has appealed except the legion so he's doing that. Yes i know he'll...

Where better to put this thread than in here :) First one is off an old farm bike a guy turned in to a brat / bobber and want something quick, cheap & different on it. Second one was from a guy who was rebuilding his R6 to look like a Rossi bike. The blue on the R6 was a pain to...

Hi all, started on my tank today. Removed the petcock but this bit stayed in the tank. It seems to be rubber with a steel tube sleeve in it. Didn't want to start hacking at it incase i can't find a new one as the bike is an oddball, Honda CD250U. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi all, Was perusing the forum today and a thought came to me, when did rear sets start turning up on cafe racers? I've studied 100s no no 1000s of old cafe racer pic's and the older bikes don't have them. Seems someone saw a set on a race bike at some stage and thought "they'd look cool on...

Ok so now we have a sub forum i can post in...... now i just gotta figure out what to post.

Would it be possible to get a sub forum for paint & body, like electrics, rear sets and others have. I'm a car painter / airbrush artist and LOVE to paint (it's all i do LOL) Would be handy for anyone whos has any Q's regarding paint &/or body, also handy for painters / body men to post hints...

Hi y'all, noob form New Zealand here (have shown my face in intro' section). I'm after some suggestions on what to do with this. '63 Yamaha YD3 (250 2 stroke twin) I pulled out of my nieghbours shed a couple years ago and i've been shifting it from one shed to another since lol. It's missing...

Hi all, long time watcher fro New Zealand & thought it was 'bout time i joined. Great site. This is my Honda CD250 UJ, it's a bit of an oddball here in NZ. More common in OZ & UK. Paid $500 NZD, wasn't road legal when i bought it which was another $500 but it's (was, it's in bits spread...
