Hey all. It's been like 4 or 5 years since my last DTT confession. But to anyone who can answer this, much appreciated: I have a 79 CB650, and I want some side covers that are more like the bubbly metal ones of the early to mid-70's CBs. I basically want these: to be these: ...but with...

Hey, I'm taking my CB650 carbs off, I'm not even that new to it, I've done it 5 or so times, but I can never remember exactly how I did it the last time. the boots are being such a mother fucker that I'm about to just yank and crack them out of frustration or try it with a crowbar across all 4...

Hey, anyone here fabricate or know of someone that makes compatible side covers? I'm looking to take these... …and try to get something more like these made to fit: …a la the mid-70's more bubbly aluminum CB covers. Is this done?

I know this is probably futile as I go through it every year and always come back to realization that I have the cheapest insurance I'm gonna get. But I still hate that I have to pay some faceless turd $700 a year for the most minimal liability-only coverage when I'm not going to get more than...

Hi. I have this in Tanks & Seats but hoping someone that sees it here can maybe help. I've been looking for the chrome panels & knee pads for this tank, I know they're hard to find. Finally found one place online that sold them, Western Hills Honda (OH) which listed them as orderable, and...

...opinions and experiences needed! This is for a Scrambler (CB pipes to either side, not upswept). I have these Shortys on there which I love but are shot baffle-wise and criminally loud. Since I want to keep the Shortys (or maybe not any at all if it works) I'm thinking about drag pipe...

...anyone know how or have any tips? I've tried vinegar to no luck. Failing all that, anyone know if I can paint another layer over top of spotted plastic without it coming through, and then clear coat it?

...I know they're crazy expensive, but even at that I can't find any online. Anyone here know who sells either repros or new/used ones? My CL450 is getting so close, this is one of the last touches. These tanks are so hard to find, I know it's heresy and don't want to fill in the grooves, but if...

Hey oh knowledgeable dudes: I'm restoring a 69 CL450. The throttle cable casing is shot (the old grey brittle kind), the cables themselves are fine and they're the kind that split off to each carb, hard for me to find a replacement for in town. Where they're unsightly is right off the throttle...

Alright, if this topic is already going on here please point me to it, but what are some more recent sport bikes with the aesthetic spirit of 70s track bikes (straighter frames, lower seat clearance, round headlights, smooth curvy fairings etc...). Basically I'm getting a little bicurious and I...

***CX is gone but 69 parts still for sale plus a 79 Cb650 parts bike, see bottom of thread, thanks. -- Hi, I'm in Toronto and I have a 1979 CX500, half cafe-converted, that was on the road up to December. It needs a new water pump seal and a radiator drain plug that I snapped the head off of...

Hey all. So, I got these bars at either Milton or Paris last year and I love them and want to find more but don't for the life of me know what they're called. I thought they were off an older British bike. They sit roughly like clubmans, but are one part like really low-rise bars. Can anyone...

Hey, anybody in the GTA area or close looking for a '69 CL450 parts? I have an extra frame I know I'm not going to use as well as a piiiile of parts. $100. Let me know if this is for you, or hell, if you have CL450-compatible parts and want to swap. CC

...so, I come out of the gym at U of T today, and I'm sitting having coffee with my friend when I look over where I parked and am like "why is my bike facing the opposite direction than I parked it"? Hilarity ensues. I'm stoked that the person is paying for the bent-to-shit clubmans and levers...

Anyone ever tried to use the Krylon kind, or any kind in a can with good results, or is it a big jump up to learning to powder coat and airbrush to do this proper?

...does anybody know how to get jizz out of my pants?

...I'm gonna be there this weekend. Anyone know, is there any good place in MTL for old or new parts?

...thoughts & opinions? I'm buying one today. Wish it was yesterday when I was staring at every bike part ever invented at Paris. Anybody here ride one or ever worked one over? Thoughts on le shaft versus le chain? I want road trips. The 360, she can't do it, captain. In a related story...

Anyone know where I can find a pair of Yamaha tuning fork logo decals here in town? I tried Snow City but they don't. I need about 3.5" ones, for a gas tank. Anyone?

Hey dudes. Can someone help me out? I'm looking at buying a 73 CB200 to fix up. It's a great deal but needs soooo much shit, most of which I think I can handle (translation: Tony can handle!), but it has no papers. I get the general sense that's it's a giant pain in the dick but can someone tell...
