    Fiberglass Cafe Seat

    It's rattle can white now with a decal but can be sanded and painted any color you want. It's on my CB650 and fits it really well although it should fit any number of bikes, it's sort of universal for 500+ cc bikes. I want $125 shipped with the tail light/license plate. Firm on the price, I'm...

    Wrench Monkees Switches

    I see their bikes have turn signals and what not but the majority of the time the bars have no switches. What am I missing?

    I am stupid about tires. Help educate me.

    So my CB500 has crappy tires I put on there in a pinch. They're not terrible, just cheap. My CB550 on the other hand came with one season old Dunlop tires. In looking closely at them, they say they are tubeless. I was under the impression that the old spoke wheels needed tubes. Did the wheels...

    Which jets on my CB500?

    Ok, so I asked over at SOHC4 and got complete shit answers. One guy answered "yes, you will need bigger jets." No shit. Thanks for nothing. I am either going with #105s or #110s. I have both. I just want to know which would be a better starting point. I'm running the stock air plenum thingy...

    Exhausted

    Last night I reached the end of my creativity and the abilities of myself and my tools trying to figure out what to do with the battery on my CB500. It's a smallish battery and I'm still having issues. I'm using a K&N cone filter off the stock airbox with an adaptor so the space between the...

    Turn signal indicator

    So my CB550 came with dual indicators, one for right and left. I've since switched to a single indicator built into my speedometer. I know that in order for this to function properly I need to put a diode on each positive wire from the signals before splicing into the light so that one circuit...

    Side Covers

    I want to hand paint something on my side covers but I can't decide what. There's the typical stuff which includes: Skulls Bombs Numbers Brass Knuckles Grenades Rising Sun Flag etc. etc. etc. Problem is I don't want a cliche but at the same time I'm having trouble thinking of something unique...

    I'm a very sick person.

    Finally got all the parts in the mail to get my 1973 CB500 and 1979 CB650 running. I expect them both up by my birthday, August 9th. But two bikes isn't enough. Tomorrow I am getting a running, riding, titled 1978 CB550. It's a sickness.

    Cost of bikes!

    I'm sure this is coming up more and more often but what the heck happened to cost of classic motorcycles? When I bought my 1973 CB500 for $600 in 2006 they were a dime a dozen. I had my choice of several early 70s bikes for $500-$1000- all running and riding and titled. My 1979 CB650 was...

    Making progress... CB650

    My bike doesn't really have a unified theme like Cafe, just whatever I thought was cool at the time. This is what it looked like when I got it. Pretty much your standard neglected CB650 nobody ever gave a shit about.

    Possibly the most annyoing thing.

    I find it annoying when people get the $25 ebay Clubman bars that are designed for smaller bikes (like 350s) and put them on 500+ bikes and can't point the tips down because the forks are in the way. This makes their bike look like a floppy bunny. If you have a larger bike I suggest getting the...

    Tips for tearing a bike down

    It's a 1973 CB500. I need some tips for tearing a bike down to the frame, cleaning / painting everything and putting it back together. In my head it seems like a big job and I've never done it before. Off the top of my head I can think to: Take pictures of everything Label everything Take my...

    Hotwing Glass seat

    Anyone run one of these seats on a CB500 (or similar)? http://www.hotwingglass.com/seats/road-race.shtml I have mine and have been trying to think of ways to mount it. I have a lot of ideas, some more complex than others. Keeping things simple is always the goal though. I like ProTeals...
