You probably ordered by now, but I got a snapped one for ya, the original for mine. It snapped way closer to the bars though so if you wanna get clever with it you could hillbilly fix it. I mean basically the 2 into 1 all functions well and u just need a way to seam two ends. Then again best...

Agreed hell of a turn out, the rain was on and off all day but it didn't matter. Good times.

I'll be there should be fun. Anything Ton-Up does, is!

Is it filled properly and balanced? Too much/too little air could be a problem you should notice wear only on the middle of the tire and that's not good and limits your grip. That makes me curious though for instance the Avon RR's say perhaps 42psi but what psi should you use when you have to...

Excellent thread idea. For the Avon's I believe since a proper size rear isn't made for the smaller bikes you could run the front tire in reverse and shouldn't have any problems. I think!.............

Hey does anyone know where I can get replacement hex screws for my engine? Most of mine are rounded so I don't want to replace them with regular screws. I've been to Home Depot but I don't think they have hex and the thread sizes are off. Any help is appreciated, is there perhaps a kit...

I know Lossa Engineering claims to have built a custom wiring harness for some CB's from the ground up but they probable cost an arm and a leg easier to get a used one.

Well via a title service I believe you can either end up with an out of state title or plates from another state. In IL the actual lost title process takes 3 years and you post bond of a big value of the bike. I'd say do one of those or try and find a near parts bike with same frame and title.

Not that I am anybody but I eat at dingeos(dengeos) all the time and ride down McCormick quite a bit. I live up in Rogers Park. Those greeks know how to make just about everything on their menu and you don't even have to bus your own trays! Always surprised to find far north side guys.

Well I'm just going to ad my experience with Ace. Took my bike there for carb/cleaning/electrical issue. Bike was ready in about a week and a half(mind you this was just after the first summer rush). Took bike back few weeks later for tire and another problem and service was prompt as well. I...

Gary Chicago,IL (Rogers Park) 1975 Honda CB200T currently probie in Ton Up Chicago, see you at Mods vs. Rockers.

Bought this bike last year, lightly experimented in cafe mods then changing back to stock bars as being a new rider low bars terrifies me. Despite the tank already painted I think I will leave it as is, gather knowledge about building bikes from this forum and hopefully tear down a 350/360/750...
