    Seized bottom end - what now?

    Forever ago I took the top end off this KZ400 motor, and for whatever reason, drained the oil. It sat like that, covered, in my dry basement, for years. Hauled it out last night to see what's up and the bottom end is seized. I guess I don't mind taking it apart, but is it even worth it? What...

    Stock CB/L 100/125/175/350 Handlebars (w/ throttle assembly &/or clutch perch?)

    I'm doing a thing in the Spring where a team buys and fixes a bike for under $500 and rides it for 24 hours to see how many miles we can put on it. Ours is a super crusty 60's C200 that we're putting a Lifan 125 motor on. I need a cheap set of stock CB/L 100/125/175/350 bars. Bonus if they have...

    Shifter oil seal keeps popping out - CB350

    Weirdest thing: the shifter oil seal on the CB350 keeps popping out after I ride around a bit. As far as I know there shouldn't be any pressure there, since the bottom end is open to atmosphere via the cam chain tunnel & the vent at the top. I've got a new seal to replace the old one with - just...

    Is there a secret to getting the side covers/cam boxes off a CB350?

    I'm replacing the head, after discovering some shoddy work to the stock one that I'd just replaced... so new gaskets on there. I got one off but the other doesn't seem to want to budge. Do you have to have the cam in a certain position or something?

    KZ400 headlight bucket & front fender

    Hit a bad patch of gravel last week and laid my KZ400 down. Bummer. Still rides though, and I fared pretty well. Need a new headlight bucket - preferably black - and a front fender that's in good shape.

    Best way to get old gasket off the back of carb boots? CB350

    Just got done putting my top end back together and would like to use the new carb boot/insulator gaskets that came with the kit. What's the best way to get the old ones off? They're stuck to the engine side of the boots and I don't want to damage the rubber surface underneath them.

    CB360: Cam tensioner question

    I know there was a recall to deal with a potentially-faulty cam chain tensioner on the older 360's, and that these issues were addressed at the factory on the later models. My question is: if you have an older engine that never had the recall work done, is it prone to failure regardless of...

    CB/CL100 Head & Camshaft - FOUND

    I've built what I'm calling a CB/L112.5 out of a rolling CB125S frame & a CL100 motor. Finally got it running (all the way up to 63mph!) and while it pulls strong, I have a ticking sound coming from the top end that gets louder as the motor warms up, and there are non-ferrous metal flakes in my...

    Forks for a 1980 CB125

    Mine are tweaked. I didn't notice until I finally got the thing running and rode it down the street. I've attempted to loosen the clamps on the triples and twist it back/tighten them down but they keep twisting back. The fender was kinda trashed so I cut it off and installed it hoping that the...
