hey Ichiban Moto, I'm a long time follower of your instructional videos which have greatly helped me with my own DIY badass cafe racer(still in the works) ...but I've been considering going a different route now to be environmentally correct, using batteries and electric motor so far I've only...

Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build argh, a little harsh...but very true I think your statement brings in some deep insight into projects like this ..as unlike what you are doing, the bike I started with needed much more than a carb clean and battery to be running as it did just...

Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build mine? they were bent/twisted in a wreck(so replaced with a taller set) from a Yamaha Virago, turned upside down and backwards...now one hand grip is 2~3in. lower than the other one...this helps with aerodynamics when riding one-handed or can...

Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build hello...I've followed some of your instructional videos to help along with my own cafesport (you might want to check out my gas tank shaping technique http://trushcafesport.blogspot.com/2012/08/tanks-alot.html ) ...but I keep stalling or losing...

funny, I just watched one of those 'overdonehauling' shows last night...and noticed he always asks: "they like big wheels or little ones?", well Chip always puts "big" over styled wheels on everything, even if they don't come close to matching/jive'n with the vintage of the car at all...so just...

sometimes I like to see what I'm thinking about XV-535 to SRV-535 concept before: after oops: sorry so big o image :o here is what a real SRV-250 looks like: (but you never could buy those in the US) late C3 with early chrome bumpers and tail widebody C3 C3 with early...

this month marks one year since I've gotten back into riding again...with basically "just for the hell of it" back in December 2011 buying a GSXR750 and getting the motorcycle endorsement on my licence to ride it amazingly(I'd have to total it up for an exact number) in the last year I've put...

here is that dude's thread http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=19763.msg280629#msg280629 Yamaha RS500 with wider aftermarket wheels

Re: Black and Gold Cafe - 71 CB350 - Phase 1 almost complete! got a set of coils something like those that I've been looking at various mounting ideas on my project `71 CL350...did you just weld the fabricated mounts to the frame? if you are just learning to ride I think its mandatory to...

thanks for the replies and input yeah, I do know that feeling...when I first got my 1992 GSXR-750(last of the oil cooled) that 'super sport' ride along with the crouched/tuck lean forward riding position seemed really harsh...but that bike has a very adjustable suspension, so softening it, and...

[sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum section.. didn't see one that included "Suspension: Forks, Springs and Shocks...hows the ride?" or whatever] so I got a new pair of rear coil over shocks that are alittle bigger and stiffer than stock...and I wanted to also take some of the...

I wanted to try Shinko 705 110/80-19" front and 120/80-18" rear tires http://www.bikebandit.com/shinko-705-motorcycle-tire ...and I even asked another forum member here(who uses the radial 110/80-19" both front and rear on a different type of bike) how wide they were as to if one would fit...

I found your eBay listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/CB-CL350-Cafe-Racer-Rearset-rear-set-with-rod-and-clevis-/251078362337?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a756fc4e1#ht_500wt_899 does that come with everything I would need to do the best job installing them on my 1971 CL350(in place of...

Re: Tim's SR500 - Roller! oh, I just realized that he might have used the "H" speed rated radial 110/80-19" 705 tires http://www.bikebandit.com/shinko-705-motorcycle-tire ...vs the lower priced "Q" speed rated Bias Ply 110/80-19" they also sell I might have to give up on the idea to use those...

looking for something that I can use on gravel roads I tried my Virago and it didn't feel good at all, but still made the 10miles on gravel I had to do to get to a buddys house....tied my GSXR750, only for about a 1/4 mile before I carefully turned back my Virago has a 100/90-19" front, and...
