Hey guys, been a part of DTT for awhile now. And now I have a dilemma. I have a 2004 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic and twice now when the fuel ran low of a gallon or so, the engine would stall under throttle. Idle no problem for the most part. So, today I took the bike down to run some seafoam...

Here's my new baby. Meet Lou Lou Bell. Named by my daughter. I know she isn't a cafe racer or bobber, or a street fighter for that matter, but she's mine and I am free when I fire her up.

Ok guys, I got a 81 KZ650 and squeezing my clutch damn near takes two hands just to squeeze. I have tried adjusting at the handle end, midline, and at the engine line. When I adjust at the engine it gets softer, but then it won't engage like it is supposed to. I did have the cover off for...

Hey Guys, posting for a buddy of mine. He recently acquired an 88 VT1100. When we first looked at the bike, it would not start without the aid of ether. The PO redid the carbs and the bike now runs.

Hey guys, I got a problem. I own a 1981 Kawasaki KZ650 CSR. What I am wondering is, is there other years/cc's that would have a compatible main wiring harness? My budget is extremely small and I have had no luck finding a wiring diagram for this year.

Hey Guys, I could use some advice/help. I have a '81 KZ 650 in which I need to rewire due to a hack job on the bike from previous owner. My budget is very small. I did pick up a wiring harness from a car at the boneyard, so I got the wire. Now, the main question. How do I go about rewiring the...

Hey Guys! I will be starting the second half of my semester next week. One of the classes I will be taking is english. That said, I need to come up with a research subject for a 2500 word paper due in 9 weeks. What I would like to do is do a paper on the history of cafe racer and how it ties...

Hey Guys, need some advice. While browsing craigslist, I came across a 1978 Yamaha xs750 triplefor sale at $600. Current owner states the bike hasn't been on the street since 2008 and would make a good parts bike or with some work get riding again. Does not list what's wrong. I currently have...

Hey guys! How goes the bike building? Well, more than likely, alot of you had wiring issues at some point of the bike's life. After all, we're talking 30+ year old bikes here. So, what I would like to know is: Has anyone built themselves a custom wiring harness for their bike? - What components...
