Hey All, Finally (!!) gearing up for the resto on my dad's ol' '70 BSA Royal Star. one of the big ticket items on the list is the tank restoration....originally chrome, but now has plenty of spot rust and a few dents in it (Most likely from stuff dropping onto it while it set for 20 years!) At...

A budy of mine gave me a xs650 ('79 we think) rolling chassis a little while ago and its been sitting in the garage staring at me and begging me to bring it back to life. Since my wife needs a bike to ride I thought it'd be the perfect base for a build. Nice ergos, small and light. Im curently...

Looking for front end/ forks with front wheel from either a CB550/750 along with the disc brake assembly. Triples aren't really needed, but if its part of the package, I'll take em. If anyone needs to off load, lemme know. Cheers, John

The idea here is to custovate the bike, keeping as much of its original character and style as possible while at the same time giving it modern bits and internals so it'll run and run strong when it needs to, handle better than ever and and look good in the process. Im looking to bounce a few...

If I have a 40 spoke drum hub that I want to use to build a wheel, and a friend has a nice aluminum 36 spoke rim he is willing to give me. Can one simply lace 36 spokes to the 40 spoke Hub? Or will the alignment be all off? Bit of a rookie question maybe but there it is... cheers, J

Finally sorted the triples on the BSA and now need to figure out what forks to use as the triples will be custom machined for whatever I use. I have decided to go for a scrambler/tracker type set up and was half toying with the idea of using a pair of forks from an old Yamaha YZ or RT (are they...

Always on the look out for deals on bike parts and was searching for a few replacement tanks for a couple of classic bikes I like the shape of. Been seeing a lot of tanks selling on Ebay from India. Sounds crazy right? Who's gonna buy a hard to find tank from a guy in India?? Thing is, I used...

Im liking this updated fork set up. Looks like a pair of forks from a CB series bike along with the triple tree. I'd love to do something similar...any ideas as to what they might be?

Got a '70 BSA A50 that Im putting back together and the original wheels are shot and heavy as hell. So I would like to get a set of lighter, alum. wheels. Dime city has excel rims and spokes that should fit the bill if I were to build the wheels myself, but as an alternative, buchnan's spoke and...

Finally got the old Beezer stripped down to nothing and am ready to start refurbishing all the different bits that need it. But Im on the fence about what to do with the wheels. they were chrome spoked wheels, but after sitting in a damp shed for 15-20 years, the chrome is just flaking off. The...

Finally getting down to rebuilding/Improving my Dad's old BSA A50. Pulling the Engine out of the frame this weekend and am trying to figure out what the best course of action is. Background info: The Bike has been sitting in a leaky old shed for the better part of 20 yrs and has seen better...
