I just bought these forks, but they won't work for the project I have. 1982 Yamaha Maxim XJ 550 forks, 35mm They're in decent shape, dust seals look fine. $60 includes shipping

I want to put twin-disc brakes on my 83 xs400 seca. Is it a hassle to fit late 70s xs650 forks and triple tree onto it?

and here's the right side...

Here's my attempt at moving my rear-sets on my '83 seca. they're 6" back, raised slightly. It doesn't look great at the moment, and I may be in over my head when it comes time to do the brake side, but this is what I've got so far.

I have a bunch of cable kits in my garage. Clutch/ throttle cables, and brake lines. They are all for hi bars, from 6"-12" longer than standard cables. They've been around, the packaging is worn. But most cables are in great shape. I realize most cafe bikes need the shorter, but maybe you...

I picked up a lot of alloy rear sprockets yesterday. Some of these are currently on ebay, others I havent' gotten around to. Still others, I have no idea what they're for. I have some other steel sprockets, without numbers to reference. If you get me the necessary dimensions, tooth count, and...

Thanks, not a bad price; but it looks nothing like the style seat I want... (I'm as picky as I am cheap!) Here's more what I'm looking for: http://cgi.ebay.de/Sitzbank-Giuliari-Honda-CB-350-Four-NOS_W0QQitemZ280161797307QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280161797307&_trksid=p3285.c70.m20.l1116

That is a nice seat. I just don't have the resources to stitch up the vinyl. But, I'm gonna have to figure something out; I checked out those Giuliari seats; that's worth more than two of my bikes!

I've been to airtech, and I watch ebay all the time. I haven't seen any like that on ebay, and airtech just has the shell. I'm looking for one already covered. The big issue for me is the upholstery. I live in a very rural area; there isn't anywhere to go for that around here. But I'll check...

Hate to ask a question like this; I prefer DIY, BUT... I have tried my hand with seats; I just end up with a mess. (I'd rather be tracing wires/modding suspension)) Is there any where I can buy something like this?

I picked up a handful of bikes a few months ago; just one of those deals I couldn't pass up. Among them: One is an 83 Yamaha xs400 Seca; I've already stripped it down, work in progress... A Suzuki GS450t (early 80s). Has anyone cafe'd one of these? I've been trying to decide whether to just...

I think they were both from the same company. (these days, the bikes come from china) It's a '66, can't remember exactly what model it used to be. It was a 125cc, then I dropped in a 250 from a Kawasaki. I don't bother looking for the 'correct' replacement parts, just make something fit...

I remember when that first album came out. He was one of the reasons I picked up the guitar. I had heard he regularly played at a club, and was planning to make a trip that way this spring...

Yeah, my dad has stories of riding those in his high school days; Those and Montgomery Wards bikes. They actually had a fair selection, 50, 90 125, 250cc, probably more. My bike is in the 'other' category, it's a Benelli

I do like tank pads, don't know why... Who makes that mini speedometer? Stock gauges look so out of place (to me) on these bikes. I used a Trail Tech digital unit on a newer bike, but it doesn't quite flow with the older stuff...

I know this isn't the classiest method, but they also make vinyl pinstripe... Comes in hundreds on colors, applies easy and even. We used it a lot in one of the shops I used to work in.

Couldn't get a pic up on this site; here's a link to the Benelli. No pics of the XS yet. (It just looks like a pile of parts right now) Cafe Benelli

Just found the site... I have a '66 Benelli, with (among many other pieces) a KZ250 motor Also, just started an XS400 project, currently in the tear-down phase (trying to get pics posted...)
