Is this the right forum? If not feel free to move Mods ;D Bought an '06 CBR600rr off one of the guys at the shop a while back for quite the deal (sub $2000). While salvaged, it runs perfectly fine with the exception of needing a manual cam chain tensioner (a normal problem with what seems like...

After looking for a well done monoshock Gs650G (like mine) I found a well done, 3-link system that looks VERY doable in my opinion. I just love the way it changes the stance of the bike, and cleans up the rear end. The top mount is a bent plate welded into place with a hole for top of the mount...

So, I had recently watched Pacific Rim for the first time the other week and thought it was pretty cool. Being a fan of the monster movies, mecha-based anime, and motorcycles this got in my head... Build a bike modeled after the star of the movie: Gypsy Danger...

So, I have the original tank for my bike (1982 gs650G) and took it to the body shop my boss uses. He said it was pretty fucked, and would cost just as much to fix it as it would to buy a new tank. So here lies my dilema: Do I abandon my old tank and get a new one from say DCC or try repairing...

I'm going to buy a salvaged 03/04 GsXR600 off my boss for about $1700 (Runs, rides, just missing the fairings). I called AAA and confirmed it was a salvaged title, no lien or fees just expired registration (about 2 weeks old). Just for continuity, I live in SoCal so the information should...

Basically, as of now my bike is not street worthy and won't be fore a while. At least a few months. I want to start riding bikes ASAP since, as my boss put it, if you can't ride a bike and come close to diagnose it you aren't a real mechanic. Since I don't ride the bikes as of now, I need to get...

Since I started as a shop apprentice where they C&C custom hubs and wheels, I have been wondering if it is possible to make a one off set of spoked wheels for my 1982 Suzuki Gs650G. I have searched around, and people have used things like Virago wheels. After looking at it though, I am pretty...

So, rearsets. I want to simply bolt some on, but that isn't really an option without spending a big chunk of money. Since I now have access to a machine shop, I can make a bracket out of some 1/4" aluminum around the shop. Also, what are the best used rearsets to buy? I was told I may as well...

Here are a few examples: The Lossa Engineering Yamaha (beautiful in person) Random bike show motorcycle (one of the best I took IMHO) Kott Motorcycles custom Honda (I have a photoshoot with him soon! so stoked) Please check out my FaceBook photo page and check out some of the other night...

I know, not too much of a good start for a cafe bike but its what I have. So, take a seat and enjoy the show. Recently, I've just been doing regular maintenance like oil, brakes, carb cleaning, etc. I am waiting on parts for G&S Suzuki (intake boots, kinda important) and after a few more tweaks...

For a while now, I have been looking for a temporary exhaust (probably just some headers) for my bike to no avail. My original exhaust is terribly rusted, and flaking. I will sandblast it when money permits. The Bay of E, craigslist, and cold calling boneyards with no luck. I then came upon this...

WHY HELLO THERE! haha that is so fun to use Good evening everyone! Just here to introduce myself as I just joined the forum. I currently own a 1982 GS650g, that will be turned into a small cafe project. I'm currently in the suburbs of LA and hoping to be riding along the coast soon 8) Here's...
