    Building a damned serious work table.

    Decided to build a new work bench. Something serious, to hold the weight of anything I could ever put on it, last a hundred years, but be relatively cheap to build. So here's some pics, I'm closing in on completion. The butcherblock top takes a bit of time, as I can clamp 6 1.5" pieces at a...

    The Mule - 1968 CL450. Made for usin'

    Made to enjoy Colorado. All the pavement, all the dirt and washouts, minetrails and singletracks. Over 8000 miles of vistas, ghost towns, mountain tops and just gettin' to work since completion 6 months ago. After all the cafe's and trackers I've finished, the parade of late model sportbikes and...

    Identify seat. CB450, possibly BCR

    Really dig the look and flow of this seat with a factory tank, would save me a ton of money I could use for real gofast parts being able to use my factory tank. Looks like Benjie's, but h does not have this listed on his site currently. The rise at the front and smooth curve up the seat...

    Took a long trip up the mountain to Johnstown a month or so back....long haul with a trailer at damned near dusk up windy, blind roads...through trees and over rivers. Journey was worth it, resulting in the return of a pair of 1968 Honda CL450's to service. Sitting in a barn, at the end a dirt...

    Project "Li'l Smokey" '72 Yamaha DT250

    Actually bought this bike about 2 years ago from a local guy on Craigslist. Always wanted a tracker style bike since I was young and my dad used to race flat track back in Oklahoma when I was a kid on his CL350. I, of course am not going to be racing this bike, but just appreciate the style...

    Project "Wish I Had a Garage!" CB175.....

    Alright, I guess I need to do one too! Here's my 1971 Honda CB175.

It came as a tip from one of my tattoo clients for which I have done both his...

    600RR rearsets on a CB175?

    haven't gotten a chance to measure the ones from the 600RR, they were posted on craigslists in my area for $20. I'm sure I'll have to get rods and all that, but beyond bolting up, the real question is, will the brake side work without welding (I don't have anything to do aluminum) since it was...
