Possibly willing to sell parts if there's no interest in the whole thing. I'm a bit burned out on eBay selling.

I hear you, the original bike I started with was not titled, needed parts and not running for $200

Re: CB 450/500t basket case with title frame is painted black now it's not this clean anymore, its sat around for a while!

$700 obo Ive been working on this project for a while. Last year it was assembled and rode. I went about 20 miles and it started burning a lot of oil. Finally go it torn down, no visible problems found. Bought a "good" head and just reassembled. After reassembly I found one of the wrist pin...

Nevermind, parts found

Thanks for the heads up but i still have the pistons and tops

I was working on my friends carbs, took the tubes off to find orings....and I lost the damn tubes. It didnt help matters that he waited for months to give me the ok to fix them. I feel terrible and i need to get his carbs together asap. Anyone have any parts carbs sitting around. Let me know how...

Does anyone need parts before they get listed on ebay? I'll try to get some pictures up but my wife broke the digital camera.. It's got a coat of spray paint on damn near everything. The tank looks pretty wasted and the left engine cover has a hole in it. Airboxes and side covers are missing. If...

I second that!

Re: CB450 Café Racer Build. CRANK CASE The seals sit on top of the valve stem they have a metal outside and a black rubber ring inside. I don't know much about baking paint. I just did my triple trees as a test at 170 for 1 hour, the paint seems more solid. I tried to put my forks in but ended...

Re: CB450 Café Racer Build. CRANK CASE The seals have a holder that's bolted in. When the holder is out they should pull out with a pair of pliers. Unless you're talking about the guides and not the seals. I used duplicolor engine enamel on my engine and the carbs leaked onto it. If wiped off...

Sorry, everything is gone.

I got a new frame today and picked up some heavy duty tubing...lets try this again. Does anyone want any of these parts? I'm only using the frame.

Re: CB450 Café Racer Build. Engine Teardown LOTS OF PHOTOS That rust on the cylinder wall doesn't look good, hopefully it's just surface rust. My rotor was loose on the crank shaft and did the exact same thing. I cleaned the bits off the shaft and the new key fit fine. I had an extra one but...

I'm working on getting another frame. I might just buy this kit and be done with material locating http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Universal-Hardtail-Kit-Honda-Yamaha-Chopper-Bobber-BSA-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem19c182a7edQQitemZ110620747757QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_884wt_1167

Von- I understand exactly what you're saying now. Mine is close to the correct ride height(still seems a little low) but the structure is ass backwards. I should have cut more into the top and ran that pipe straight while putting a bend on the lower pipe. I did the opposite and it doesn't send...

how many bikes can you ride down?

here's how she's sitting now. 32 degrees rake, 4" of trail and about 5" off the ground at the bottom rails. I'm gonna do some research and get back to this one. If it's decent I'll probably just ride it. I'm sure this won't be the first hardtail I make.

The frame isn't safe or the geometry isn't safe? I extended it 3" and lowered it 1.5" It's pretty much the same as adding the hard "struts" as shock replacements that they sell as hardtail lowering kits. Please tell me if i'm there's something I'm not getting.

mock up please ignore my ugly welds, they're getting ground down before going to the welder. I still need to add gussets but it's looking cool and coming along nicely. There's still some cutting to do on the old frame section as well. got another shipment of parts...
