Hi all, I have an opportunity to pick up a 1983 Honda XL 600 from a friend in Mississauga but the catch is I have to get it shipped to Calgary. I'm in the process of investigating the potential cost to ship the bike in the hope that I can find something reasonable (i.e. less than the cost of...

Hi all, I am seeking suggestions on trouble shooting a problem I've got getting a 1980 SR 250 to fire up. I acquired this bike a couple of weeks ago with the hope of getting it running and then flip it to help fund my current project. My intention is to clean it up, fix the obvious problems...

Hi all, It's been quiet a while since I've been on DTT. I posted up an "intro" a short while ago, and thought I should get a build thread started. I took some time off from street bikes a couple of years ago for a variety of reasons, but won't bore you with the details. It was mostly a time...

Hi all, I'm planning to remove the dash/ dash lights and safety circuits from my SR250. I found a stock wiring diagram online and have edited it to what I believe should work. I would appreciate it if someone could have a look and let me know if it appears to make sense. The removal of the...

Good afternoon DTT'ers... I just wanted to send out a quick note to say hello...again. I was around for a while a couple of years ago and worked on a pair of 1978 KZ650Bs. I completed one (sold it) and got the second project "mostly" done before I sold it as well. I live in Calgary, Alberta...

Hi all, I'm planning to make my own wiring harness for the build I'm currently working on. I've been searching around and found a number of diagrams, but wanted to create my own to work from and also to red-line along the way so I have a record of what I did once I'm actaully done the work. I...

Hi all, I was hoping to get your thoughts/ approval on whether a 5aH gel battery will be enough capacity for a 78 KZ650B running kick start only and just the basic lights. (signals, headlight, tail light etc. No gauge lights or extras, and 4 ohm coils. I would probably add a switch to the...

Hi all, I've been absent for a while feeding some of other 2 wheeled addictions - DH mountain biking and Dirt Bikes. As a result, my road bike projects took a break. Some time ago I picked up another 78 KZ650B for $250 with the intention of using it as a parts bike for my previous 650B. I...

PM me if you have some you would like to part with! Thanks in advance.

Some of you may remember last fall I bought a bone stock '78 B model from a fellow in town and spent the fall and winter giving it a cafe make over. The intent was to get it 90% complete, ride it for the season and then make changes as required. It started out like this.... Over the course...

I'm planning to pull the starter motor and associated electrical bits off my 78 KZ650 (kick start only)... I'm just wondering if there is some skookum plate or some sort of seal to patch the hole in the case where the motor was located? There is a cover plate that goes over top, but I need to...

It's cold, snowy and generally shiddy weather in Alberta today so I thought I'd take the opportunity to say Hi, and start a build thread. This is my first post here, but I've been watching a few threads and getting inspired by all the cool projects. I've been seeking help at the kz650.info...
