haven't updated for a while. what can i say- persistent but slow. in the meantime i've been doing a bit of this: this is about where the xs250 is up to: replaced broken piston rings which are almost entirely unobtainable, rewired the indicators to remove the auto cancel and installed an...

i am the occasional caregiver to a tired ts250 and very abused ts185. no pictures handy, but cool bikes and good parts availability for the ts185

subscribed. my brother has one i'm helping him clean up as well. yours looks in really nice condition. i guess i may as well ask here, does yours have a front brake light switch? there's some screws and a piece of black plastic under the lever on ours, but i can't quite see how wires would...

almost done and looking good, you must be stoked. i'm in the same boat with a 5+ year garage space sucker

i'll be following this, i convinced my girlfriend to buy one (185ER so 1980's)to learn to ride on, and it is a pretty good bike. bulletproof even. yours looks in really good condition. what tyres will you be using? there is a forum specifically for them if you need manuals or tech tips...

join the melbourne cafe racer group on facebook and ask the same question, they'll sort you out. in the past i have used a jetski place in clayton (southern jet ski i think..) and my current project engine is with basil at headworks in murrumbeena, though he outsources the boring, so might not...

it would probably be fine, as far as i know, to get more power the next steps either involve more weight such as xr600, xt600, dr600 etc or frequent rebuilds and high running costs like the ktms. what are your other alternatives? i know Rideapart always recommends the wr250r as a more then able...

i've got one. good bike. well supported with parts and advice online. there's not a lot of capacity in the fuel tank (which is probably a given for enduro), i get about 160kms between refills though i know everyone else gets more, and the seat is not great for more then an hour of riding, but in...

this cb350 is back on the front burner of my efforts. new spokes, NOS headlight ears and valves from david silver spares the head and cylinders is at headworks getting rebored for wiseco 66mm pistons and the new valves. i have found two alloy 18 inch rims from 80's drum brake rear dirt bikes...

last i read they were being modified due to wear issues. there are some other alternatives. http://www.charlies-place.com/PAGES/Store/electronic_ignitions_new_2.html etc

yeah, i've got the older pamco ignition with the aluminium rotor.

i've got a cb350 with the 66mm wiseco pistons in the machine shop atm. it looks like you're in melbourne as well? maybe we can do some side by side power comparisons when i finally get mine finished.

number plate has to be centered, which is good, because chopper style off to the side looks awful anyway. http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/2F4D64FE-B1A5-48D1-B848-19CD5F8176D7/0/VSI4.pdf...

yep honda ct110's http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/letter-rip-posties-airmail-delivery-comes-crashing-down-20120411-1wp9q.html

that's amazing. now i know what the little flags are for. no wonder the post office in australia is going broke. they need to take some tips from overseas

what i got from that is in america the postman picks up your mail for you?

i have one. what do you want to know? it's on an xs250, i guess i can measure some dimensions for you if that helps. there is a large degree of height adjustability because the mounting holes are slots. obviously that only works if the slots line up with your fork leg holes, which they didn't on...

i like this and was thinking of doing a similar thing for my cb350, mostly to be able to use car filter elements or a washable foam filter. the lack of technical knowledge has stopped me so far though. while you've got the computer cranked, you might like to take into account the external...

I'm not aware of that brand specifically but I assume this is one of the sla batteries not designed for motorbikes. There is a blog by a British guy who used a 12 volt one in his xs400 Street tracker which you should be able to google and find. He had issues with them stopping working after a...

wrong country. but thanks. i've picked up NOS fork ears from david silver spares anyway, nothing else urgent
