Wow, I've been gone too long. I've made some good progress on the KZ and I'll be posting new photos soon. Valvesprung, yeah I live down in Salem. We should meet up for a ride sometime (if it ever stops raining), and yeah the front fairing and hard bags are just sitting in my garage now, I don't...

Cool. Did you make them, or buy em?

That will be awesome. I love that look. I've got a little VT500 street fighter planned soon. So many projects, not enough hours in the day.

Re: CB350 Built by a teen (Just call me Buffy... polished crankcase!! PICS UP!) Current? That has been a staple of movies for like 60 years!

Yeah, these were pretty rare. I have no idea how I would ship that fairing. Speaking of which, if anyone is local to the Salem/Portland/Vancouver area and you need bike parts, hit me up. I've got about 12 project bikes in the wings and boxes/bins of parts lying around. It's a little out of control.

Yeah, I try to make most things myself if I can. I hate paying someone else. I find bike building is a great excuse to learn new skills and buy new tools.

Do you know what direction you're going with yours? I could use some inspiration!

Thank man. Yeah, the downside of how easy copper is to work with is that it cracks. The joints are all press fit, so hopefully that will help it last longer. If the bike suddenly starts running like shit, I guess I'll know why. Here's a shot of the Suzuki. This was a couple months ago, it's...

Finally started on my KZ400 build. Figured this would go pretty quickly, but once I started tearing into it, it got much worse. Carbs were toast. Broken on the inside/ missing pieces. Someone broke off one of the bolts that hold the carb boots on, and just left it. Nice. Pretty much par for the...

Wow, that is a hell of a trip man!

Amen. Couldn't have said it better.

Such a great idea. I've got an old SL125 laying around, but a 400 would be sick!

I'm refinishing some helmets, and I have a couple that have snaps holding the liner in, so I'll have to drill those out. Anyone know what kind of snaps I will need to use when I put it back together. Where would I get them? Help is much appreciated.

And long sleeves. And pants. Got a good chemical burn with that stuff once. Never again.

Is there a way to make the fixed ones clear the kick start, or is that what everyone wants the folding ones for?

How is the bike running? Swapmeet Louie pretty much nailed it. Depending on the symptoms, it will tell you which way to go.

That is looking pretty cool. I have a 78 kx400 I'm getting ready to work on. How did you bend the rear hoop?

It's really not too much work to pull that motor, especially if you've already got most of the bike apart. Take is from me, it definitely better to do it right in the first place than struggle with it and waste a bunch of time.

by mounting flanges, do you mean the rubber manifold boots, or is there something different on the cb200?

Re: 79 KZ400 Cafe (Clutch and Tranny) Are you sure your clutch is adjusted correctly?
