So, I've been contemplating buying a set of leather overpants for my morning rides to work. I start work at 6, and it can be rather chilly in those early morning hours. My leather jacket keeps me warm, as does my full face and gloves. However, the one part that still suffers are my legs. I...

Looking for some input from you guys. I'm in mid-build on my 78 Suzuki GS750. I have hand fabbed my rear sets and brackets, and I know how I wanna mount them and where. The problem is, I don't wanna give up the kickstart option, but it's clearly gonna interfere with the right side brake lever...

Anybody used this stuff, yet?: http://www.lumilor.com If it's all they claim it to be, it could be put to pretty cool usage!

Who all in The Burgh is riding out to Mid-Ohio this year? It is July 20-22.

Got a nice dent in my tank from a drop off the table (OUCH!!!). Anybody know a good shop that can pull the dent? Just need it pulled and I'll do the rest. Thanks

All along, I thought it was The Ice Cream Man, playing that horrid music through my neighborhood. Rule of thumb: If it's The Ice Cream Man, kids run TOWARD him, if it's THIS GUY, kids run AWAY!: Hey, at least he's wearing a helmet!

You guys with rear sets, how are you setting up your rear drum adjustment with them? I ask cause I took my bike for a test run, last night, went to hit the brakes, and it felt like I had zero rear braking power. to mount my rear sets, I cut the factory brake lever down to 2", drilled and...

Hey, how do you all handle protecting your tanks paint finish from getting eaten by spilled fuel? Thinking about a few coats of Spray Max 2k Urethane clear coat after my tank got two small blems while fueling up, last night.

Hey, picked this bike up off a friend of mine but got tired of the hassle of hunting down electrical gremlins, so I'm just gonna part her out and use the funds for my cafe build. Right now, most everything is there. Lemme know what you need in a PM, if you want pics, and I will be happy to...

Been surfing Ebay to see what kind of deals I could find on a 3/4 open face helmet and noticed a lot of ones that could be bought, new, for even as low as $30. Of course, I never heard of most of these names, so I didn't dare pull the trigger on any of them, but it got me thinking: ARE there...

Well, I figured it was about time I put something up here of my build, so here goes: She's a 1982 Yamaha 650 Maxim. The previous owner had begun transforming her into a camouflaged bobber, lowered with rear solid struts. Luckily, she also came with about 2 boxes full of spare parts, as...

Well, since I discovered this "Art" section, and since music is a form of art, I figured I'd include a link to my band's Myspace, in the event that anybody cared to listen: http://www.myspace.com/trashmagnetband

Well, as usual, crawling around inside these forums can be a real troublemaker. ;) Here's the situation: While perusing, I stumbled across TEMP3ST's GS750 cafe build. The first thing I noticed was just how similar his Zuki frame was to my Yammie XJ650's, especially the triple-bar spine...

Hey all. Another new guy, here. Living in Pittsburgh, PA. I can thank the guitarist in my band for the obsession with building a cafe bike.......Well.....him AND Mike Seate and the folks at the Cafe Racer TV show, that is. Just picked up an 82 Yamaha Xj650 Maxim a few weeks ago. It was...
