Hey guys. I recently picked up an '82 GS450TX. Engine and drivetrain seems solid for the most part, but the chain is stretched to hell and the sprockets are shot. Since I have to replace them anyway I wanted to tweak the ratios. I'm willing to sacrifice a little oomf at lower speeds to get a...
Apparently not in Michigan. Hell, the cops didn't even want to get involved because it was a parking lot and that is private property. I wonder if that means I can blow through the stop signs in the mall parking lot if no one is coming and then pull the "this is private property" line if the...
Aaaaand of course a month after I get it done some old biddy pulls out in front of me in a parking lot because she apparently didn't see the BRIGHT YELLOW motorcycle coming her way. I wasn't going fast (as you can see my the amount of actual collision damage) but then she decides to PULL FORWARD...
Here is a quick and dirty customization that costs almost nothing. Keep in mind you need to have a headlamp with a gap between the sealed beam bulb and the retaining ring/bezel.
Step one: Get a piece of 1/2 inch welded wire mesh (sometimes called hardware cloth or rabbit fencing). You can find...
Hey, Jbone.
I had a similar dilemma. 15 years of sitting in a barn is hard on the finish. I had some bad rust and pitting on the rims and some of the spokes as well. I ended up disassembling the wheels and painting all of it after getting all the corrosion off. The rims I had powdercoated and...
As long as you didn't go overboard on the tire size on the front cutting down the original is probably the cheapest and easiest way to go. I did the same thing on my CB200.
I had a similar situation with my bike. I had it titled in Michigan, then California, then moved back 15 years ago and never re-registered it in MI. No idea where the title went. I filled out the form, paid the tax and I was good to go. As long as there are no "issues" with the ownership when...
I love the retro look, just can't find any listings with actual feedback or reviews on them. I don't want to waste my $$$ on something if it's total crap. Anyone bought, seen, tried, returned, blew up, thrown away, loved, or spat on one of these...
Soooo... 23 members in the local GR area and so cafe/vintage clubs to be found? Last I checked it only took two people for something to be considered a club (or maybe I'm confusing that with a conspiracy... meh, same thing).
Sorry I haven't been updating with progress. To be honest it's been such nice riding weather now I've been busy working on the bike wanting to get it up and on the road! I had problems with the petcock not sealing fully and the float valves not working right. It kept flooding when I tried to...
Let's see... where to begin? Both wheels are done. Tires are mounted. Engine painted and just about everything back in the frame. I cut the fenders and they've been painted. Actually, just about everything is done except for the tank, hooking up the exhaust and wiring the controls.
I decided...
