    1963 Honda CL72 parts junker... REHOMED, thanks guys...

    Engine is scrap as far as I'm concerned. Decent chassis, nice tank, fair rims. Lots of usable engine parts, but the bottom end is locked up solid. Will not part. You want it, come get it. I'm 30 miles north east of down town Memphis TN. No papers, so she's parts or a race project unless you...

    Snell approved 1/2 helmet...?

    Going through some of my raggedy old junk. Turns out the old 1/2 shell I painted to match one of my bikes has a Snell 1968 approval label inside of it... Manufacturer unknown, the maker's label just says Made in Japan. Anyone else ever run across a Snell approved 1/2 helmet? Seems a bit odd to...

    LowBrow Customs... very decent

    Less than a week from ordered to installed on a hard to find lever set. Thought shipping and handling was high, until I got the package. Heavy duty box, ton of packing peanuts. Could have set a Kenworth on the package without damaging the contents. The roughly one dozen stickers and a 10% off...

    Suzuki Savage meets the 1940s...

    I'm not going back through all its various cut down and high bar incarnations. As of this morning, the bike has taken on a rather late 40s vibe... Road King bars, Titan front wheel, unknown gas tank, quickie solo seat, Harley half moon floorboard set. Fishtail pipe and small steel pack muffler...

    Disc to drum conversion worked... PICS ADDED...

    Finally did it this morning. Swapped a Titan hub and a tls brake plate in place of my stock disc brake front wheel. 6 washers on the right, 5 on the left, perfectly centered tire. Adjusted the fender gap, rolls cleanly, no rubbing. Brake stay bolted to the upper caliper mounting hole, the stay...

    I know I can buy this tail off the rack, but does anybody know offhand a source for a thinner version? I know I could cut this one down or lay up a custom version, but, if there is a thinner off the rack variant... Love this bike, is currently my desktop background. I'm building a dark green...

    Check your tires... or else...

    Found out a good friend on another forum crashed Friday afternoon. 30 mph, front tire on his Sportster blew out or came off the rim. He's in the hospital with 4 breaks to one shoulder, and has a compound ankle fracture (bone through skin for those who don't speak medical). He said the bike was...

    Snow at my place tonight...

    I moved back here to get away from that crap... Last weekend was nice enough to do some painting and wiring work. 90% chance of precipitation, winter driving warnings from the Memphis news programs. Started spitting light snow before lunch, has been off and on all day. No accumulation, but the...

    Left side. NOT the chromed version (I hate chrome). NOT the hyper rare aluminum version. Just a plain old beat down but can be fixed steel one. Thanks.

    How rare IS a numbers matching...

    My "free" CL72 is the first old metric I've found with matching engine and chassis numbers... not a few numbers different so close enough. I mean the EXACT same numbers. And does ending in 0001 mean it was the first for that model year? Or just that they ran out of the first number string and...
