    Honda CB/CL 450 rear axle removal help needed

    So I've removed the support rod, rear brake adjuster nut and the cotter pin and axle nut, and jacked up the rear so the tire's just off the ground, but now what? The Clymer manual just says 'remove the axle' or 'pull out the axle' or something like that, but it doesn't seem quite that simple...

    What's a good, inexpensive dual sport to look for?

    I've been looking around on craigslist here in the SoCal area and I've been seeing a good number of used Yamaha XTs (various displacements from 225-350) in the $1500 and under range.... Are these a good bike? What others might be good to look for? I'm interested in staying in that under...

    74 CL450 Bent Forks.... need help

    Hey all.... So a buddy came over to help with a few things on the bike last night, one being the apparent slight wonkiness of the front end.... At the end of the day it became clear that the left fork is bent (maybe the right, didn't bother measuring since the left was bad enough to see...

    Has anybody used the Dime City one-up leather seat?

    It looks pretty good to me, and I liked their service with the shocks I bought from them, so was wondering whether anybody on here has one and what they think of it. The lines look nice for a fully-upholstered seat...

    Pretty good deal on a Vanson jacket in LA....

    http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/clo/2023770753.html I'd buy it if I hadn't JUST bought a great Cobra Mark 2 off of craigslist and/or if I could justify another $200 or so bucks at the moment.... Hope someone on here finds it useful!

    Suggestions for mufflers for a CL450?

    Hi all... So I took the mufflers off of my stock pipes because I really don't like the look of them on a cafe bike. The bike sounds really good, but maybe a bit too loud. I'm thinking of putting a couple of the small Supertrapps on and was wondering if anybody's used 'em on a Scrambler...
