I feel sorry for my American friends, to think they have to go through this. Just so frustrating that so many people in positions of power can be so irresponsible, and that so many people can be so apathetic that they can't seem to be bothered to stand up for themselves. Then again, we have the...

It's a CJ 750 sidecar :P Don't own one at the moment but doing my research, there are conversions you can pay for but I'd rather do it myself if I can: To:

You needed a new swing arm?

Hey guys, I'm wondering who out there has done a drum to disk brake conversion, and how difficult or easy it is in general? Does it depend on the wheel type/size? Any hard and fast rules/techniques? Always looking to learn more 8) Thanks in advance

Aw shite, didn't realise it was on. Then again, last weekend I was in Dusseldorf watching the Race of Champions :D

I reckon hey. What a gorgeous BSA!

That'd be great mate, hope to be tackling the wiring soon, still have half a dozen terminals in the headlamp shell which I have no idea what attach to...

Thanks for that mate, any pics would be great.

Check PMs mate ;) More problems: Doesn't even fit the recess it came with! Somehow I'm supposed to use all of these: New throttle cable is almost double the length: As far as I can tell, you thread the cable through the tops of each carb into these And attach one of those ^ ends to the...

Aw...a scooter, so cute! Nah, welcome mate and you have a very nice bike by the looks of it. I'm doing an XS 250 cafe racer (although I haven't posted in a while) and the 250, 360 and 400's are all exactly the same except for the different top ends, so if you need any help feel free to hit us up :)

Re: 2001 Yamaha SR250 - Deus inspired Cafe Racer Good to see you on this website too mate ;) Keep up the good work.

Hey guys, bit of an update: Got the crack welded And some polishing done, that was months ago so doesn't look as nice now :( What's the best way to clean this out? My effort was pretty scodgy, just using a...name escapes me at the moment but a sort of hard nylon brush thingo on a drill and a...

Nah, reckon it's a good idea to open it up, just in case theres something wrong with the piston, conrods, etc. Just make sure you know how to put it back together 8)
