Thanks guys. I already tore it down once then changed it afterwards. I just need to paint some spots on the frame where I cut tabs off. I want to add some accents in black to the tank just because it looks rather plain. The paint is Sunset Orange but it looks red to my color blind eyes haha. I...

Re: 1974 XL350 - Bob & Chop build My tail section also hit the tire under weight. I extended my shocks to give it more clearance and tightened up the springs. So far so good, but I need to buy real shocks that are longer.

I bought this bike about 5 years ago now, and only rode it for 1 season. :-\ I bought it when it was complete but didn't run, and was very rusted and beat. I disassembled it and restored everything that went back on. I rode it around pretty much stock then got bored with it and wanted more when...

That's a lot of green.... must be nice and comfy on a long ride though.

So last night I took the front caliper off again and tried to see why the wheel wouldn't spin when the caliper was assembled. Since I had to file down the pad that goes into the caliper bore because it was much to tight, I was under the assumption that the pad may not be made to spec since it's...

Thanks. It came out more red than I thought but it works just fine. It looks a little different in sunlight.

It's looking sharp, it'll look brand new when you're all said and done. What did you use to clean up your head? If you media plastid it (which it looks it) what type of media did you use?

Bad ass, sounds good. Are those mufflers or just tips and straight headers?

It's been a while since my last post, but I've still been making some progress on the bike. When I have free time I'll dedicate it to the bike. I just ordered a bunch of parts from the Dime City crew and started to put together my now rebuilt front end. I'm getting ready to put a sportier tire...

I am looking to ditch the ugly fork boots and go with fork wipers for dust shields as some call them. They obviously didn't come on my year bike, but I know some people use them, trouble is I don't know which years/model bike to source them from! Anyone know what would fit? I bought a...

Finally got around to painting my tank and side panels. I spent most of the day prepping the tank with my brother in order to paint it tonight. Tomorrow i want to put another thin coat on it and the possibly clear coat it. I haven't decided if i want to clear it jusssst yet. If I do some sort of...

I dont have pictures of it (yet). I bought it for my '74 CB450 since it looked similar, but it doesn't fit at all. I still need a bunch of parts for my 450. I could use; A Seat! Headlight (the glass not the bucket) Headlight Tabs (not stock ones) Clip on's Radial MC for front disc Pads for...

Well I put my bike up on the center stand, disconnected the lower half from the swingarm, then pulled down on the chrome cover to compress the spring. (Make sure the spring collar is set on the softest setting.) Then just pull out the "keepers" from the top. They are the half moon circular...

The first two pictures are from the previous owner that he took of the bike when I first got it. not too too bad, almost succumbed to death by rust, but I've giving it a second life. This is what it looked like when I first started stripping the frame. My chain tensioner, do you guys...

Hey guys, I'm new to the board, but I've been browsing around reading tips and ideas, which this site seems to have plenty of! I'll cut right to the chase. I bought this bike about 1.5 Years ago along with a complete parts bike for $500. They both were not running, but I did get it to start and...
