Hey Guys, I'm toying with the idea of doing an rd350/ninja 250 swingarm conversion, but I'd really like to fit supermoto-esk rims and wheels on it. I am wondering if you all have recommendations for fitting/finding 16", 3.5 spoke rims for a 250 swingarm, or 17" for a 250r swingarm. Any...

Hard to beat these virago builds. Love it. Paint will look bold too!

Great look. I like the tank and the chromeglow. I'll be using one of those strips on my bike.

Those lines are looking clean!! Love it. I'll be stopping by and checking often.

Engine looks phenomenal. The build too! I'll certainly be vapor blasting my next engine.

Re: CB360 box build - nearing completion Great process, I have an rd350 I got all in parts and I'll b e looking at this to see how you piece your's together!

Re: 1981 CX500 -- New Frame Rebuild Process Pics Oh for sure. I haven't a mount yet, but I can assure you it will be lower. Nothing will be higher than the ignition.

1981 CX500 : Updated May 22 Well, it sure has been a while. School has taken up most of my time and winter break i was in Oregon. Thus, no work was done til spring break. It felt good to just hang at home and turn a wrench. So since last time I have been able to: paint the engine fully...

Thanks E. It helps just to see what people think and testing the waters. And, your probably right about it being poor man's game. Price usually wins, and as much as we like to think Made in USA is valuable, when we stand in front of two products of marginally same quality, the one made for...

Bahaha! I cringed when I saw SEARS. Literally cringed. I've never gone to the auto department there. I mean, hey they probably have everything there, but just something about getting oil changed where I buy my underwear. haha Thanks! Glad to hear some interest

Several reasons. I have been sewing for a while now, and I like to think am getting pretty good. I started with simple shirts, then made skiing sweatshirts, and most recently a cafe racer inspired leather backpack for riding to school. I am a computer science and econ major and so I dabble in...

Instagram is probably a great place to search. Keep em coming!

didn't mean to! Riding gear and leathers included. Pretty much everything is acceptable.

I am compiling a list of independent craftsmen who make motorcycle lifestyle related goods. I'm thinking backpacks, belts, flannels, jeans, boots, custom painted helmets, wallets, art, etc. Who are your favorite independent companies aka the "little guys"?

Re: 1981 CX500 -- Frame Rebuild Update Whew. It has been a long time since I a updated last. Or at least it feels like it. Since powder coat took a while I could make much headway before going to school. So I am now at school and trying to get some progress done on the weekends when I have a...

1981 CX500 The frame and wheels were at powder coat and sandblasting forever. So nothing got done til today. Today I was able to rebuild the front forks, and change all the bearings. Yesterday, i got the tired mounted so today I have a roller!

Re: 1981 CX500 Day 20: I took a different approach to the rear hoop today. Tried to hammer the tube then bend it. Didn't quite work yet. Plan C formulating in my head. I am thinking about starting the read from scratch, and using my own rectangular tubing. I took a brake and finally got my...

First of all wanna just say hey to the forum. I have a build thread at another site, but I wanted to be part of this community as well so I'll be posting both. The post will catch the build up. Day 1: I've always been into the mechanical workings of things, but rarely have had the time for...
