Hi everyone, Finally looks like we're done with this awful winter and I can get the bike back on the road. I've got a 550F with a custom cafe seat on it that came with the bike when I bought it. It's a great look but I'd like to have something that I can fit a passenger on. What the...

Hey guys. I've been reading through a bunch of threads and trying to wrap my brain around it all. I feel like I'm flunking. Started having an issues with my tail light staying lit (got pulled over for it). When I turned the bike to on the tail light wouldn't light up but the brake light...

Thanks for the walk through. I'm thinking about doing this eventually with my bike. Haven't put clubmans on because I was worried about the body position with the stock footpegs.

Man this was a tough one. Went back and forth a bunch. Good luck to all three bikes. Everyone should be really proud.

That bike's got a badonkadonk.

Yeesh. I think I like the Ruckus better. The plaid is a nice touch though.

Awesome. I have a lot of experience working with bicycles and never used a torque wrench until I bought one for this bike. Sometimes it's better to just go with your gut I guess. Thanks for the help!

Grabbed a pan on EBay for $15 and a new crush washer and gasket from bike bandits. Hopefully I'll be able to get it done this weekend. Definitely will make sure all my bolts are out. How much torque do you guys suggest?

Yeah I'm pretty sure that was my problem. Looks like the previous owner lost it the last time the oil was changed. Same for the oil filter. Well now I will always remember to put a crush washer on. Damn.

Bought my first bike this winter, a 1977 CB550F. Finally got my motorcycle license and before I ride I decide to change the oil. No problem everything looks good and I take it for its first ride. Today I notice some leakage from the crankcase drain plug. The bolt must need a little more...

Just got mine in the mail the other day and really impressed with the quality. The liner is awesome and I think I'll be pretty happy I can remove it and wash it once it starts getting hot outside (I'm up in Maine so its still 50degrees half the time) Mine doesn't have any speakers, but there...

Wow I'm jealous. Looks like a great memory for you guys.

On Any Sunday is just awesome and I watch it when I'm way too hungover to ride. How about Mad Max (Kawasaki K-1000) and The Great Escape (Triumph TR6 Trophy)? Can't really go wrong with any of these.

Hi. I'm looking into buying a face shield for my 3/4 Helmet (Torque Route 66) and was wondering if anyone had any advice/experience with them. Looking at the Bell 3 Snap ones with amber gradient. But I'd be interested to hear about anyones that people liked/hated whatever. Thanks.
