    CX500 Rat-Ca-Bob

    Nice job! I reallllly wish I had done something like this with my CX500. I went the dumb way, started ripping mine all apart and got in over my head before I knew what I was even doing. Now I'm stuck trying to do things I have no idea or capability of doing (like wiring). Anyway, post more pics...

    A letter to my local metal shop...

    Here's my story that sort of relates: I wanted to weld in some lengths of metal to cradle a battery and wiring (relocate the battery and clean up the body, you know how it is), and add a hoop onto the my frame. I went back and forth between buying a welder and doing it all myself or hiring...

    San Francisco people??

    I've been commuting from the North Bay to the City 4 days a week for a few weeks now (for school) and every day I see at least 4 or 5 cafe racers in the City. Hell, there are usually 3 or 4 parked out front of my school every day. Where are all the people that ride them??

    "Cafe Racer" such a loose term! Craigslist "Gem" of the week!

    Inspiration; Where do you go?

    Right here, man. DTT has given me all my inspiration. Remember when you were a kid, flipping through magazines with your buddy, and you guys would point out a car advertisement and shout out, "That's mine!" trying to grab it before your buddy? That's how I feel scrolling through some of these...

    NORCAL Folks

    I'm in Petaluma. If you're up in these parts and need a mechanic, P&M Motorcycles is the place to go. Paul is right off the boat English and Steve is the gentle giant of bike masters. These guys are freaking awesome. Last time I stopped by they had a couple cafe racers out front, a couple modern...

    Primer over gelcoat?

    I have no idea for sure if you need to, but scuff sanding a slick surface takes seconds, and I doubt that it will be a *bad* idea. So even if it isn't really necessary, it's not like it's gonna put you out of a day of work to do a little extra.

    1980 Honda CX500C

    I say good deal. I got my '79 Cx500c for $750 a few years ago. It ran GREAT, and had a the title (biggest issue was ugly paint job and original tires still on it), so I didn't need to mess around with it (I did anyway, of course).

    Automotivetouchup.com review

    Hey all, Just want to shoot out a superb review of automotivetouchup.com. Here's the story: I've gone through a few trials with the color for my tank. First it was all flat black. Then black with an off-center red stripe. Then black with a wide silver stripe down the middle lined by two...

    SOHC vs DOHC learning thread for newbies

    great stuff! thanks! As a coincidence, I've got a CX500, which also has that dip in the seat area. It is definitely a serious pain in the ass trying to put a nice flat seat on there.
