    Frustrating Front Brake

    1982 CB650. I broke my old brake reservoir during a spill so I replaced it with an identical new one. I installed it and then bled the brakes. My first time. After bleeding it the first time I put the cap back on and pumped the brake lever a few times expecting pressure to build up or...

    Clear Coating over graphics?

    I want to have some graphics made to put on my tank and I'd like to know how i should have them made and how i can apply them. I was thinking of just having them cut out of vinyl, put them on the base coat and clear over top of them. Is this ok? Will any vinyl work? How big should they be, and...

    a cafe logo

    I drew this in illustrator because i was thinking of putting a decal on the side of my seat and i don't really like the cafe racer decals that are already out there. Its kind of a play on one of Carpy's decals, but i like this one better. I can convert this into a dwg file or autocad file if...

    Kawasaki Z1 R tank

    I'm looking for a 1977 Kawasaki Z1 R tank that is junk or just cheap. I think this is the only bike with this style of tank and I think they are really rare so this is just a shot in the dark, but if anyone knows of one, i'd like to have it. (or even one that looks similar to it) I want to chop...

    Rear shocks

    Has anyone put after-market shocks on their bikes. I was thinking of putting some different shocks on my 1982 cb650 because I want to raise the rear end up a little. Is this even possible? or is it a bad idea?

    Some paint ideas, suggestions...

    So im sitting in my dorm room listening to some crappy techno and messing around on illustrator. i came up with a few paint ideas for my cb650 project. First one is an army theme. its kind of corny and overdone, and it really doesn't work with the chrome because army vehicles/planes don't have...

    Fiberglass boxy seat

    Well this is the result of my first crack at making a cafe racer seat, or any fiberglass construction for that matter. Overall I'm happy with the result. If i had to do it again i probably wouldn't, lol... I didn't mind the work (and there is a lot of work) but the materials cost more than i...
