Got the Cb360 out for the first ride of the season a couple of days ago and the bike started up fine, let it idle for a bit to warm up, bike was in neutral (unless the neutral light was lying to me). dropped it into first, let out the clutch and the bike jerked and stalled. tried shifting...

i've just got back into it after taking a few years off, digital photography, especially with a good DSLR is amazing! here are a few of my favorites: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79217750@N00/5914890587/# http://www.flickr.com/photos/79217750@N00/5920511329/#...

I'm fairly new to this so take my advice with a grain of salt, but any of the honda parallel twins would fit your bill, bulletproof engines, easy to work on, parts are easy to find. they are a cinch to mod. half the ppl on this board it seems either have one or have done one. the parallel fours...

well that sorts the mounting issue, now for the brake return spring its like one of those crazy iron barroom puzzles. I cant for the life of me figure out how to mount it. i played with it for over an hour today and got nowhere. does anyone have RAASK experience on how to mount the darn thing? TP

doesn't that mean that your swingarm will be hitting the bolts? i know on mine the bolts are so long that if i did that I'd basically have a hardtail..... I think I got the wrong part kit. TP

just got my raask rearsets, and they were supposed to be a bolt on application, but it seems they are a bit more complicated than that. the instructions that came with are almost useless. the bolts that hold them on to where the passenger pegs used to be are too long and bump up against the...

well i figured if any group of people would be able to identify that bike it would be here. ;D

wow that was fast, some well read ppl out there, thanks. I'm actually re-reading the book right now and have always wondered what bike he rode on his journey. one of the few books i have read multiple times and still enjoy and get something new out of it each time. TP

the pictures were taken in 1968, it looks like a small honda parallel twin, very overloaded. and were taken during a cross country trip that was the basis of one of the most important books of the 20th century. extra points if you can name the man in the picture and or the book that was written...

another random thought, my buddy who is into nortons runs a single carb setup for his twin. has anyone tried anything similar with the parallel twin hondas? seems like it would solve a multitude of issues.

like i said i think I'll stick with the keihins, what size are those BTW? maybe a rejet? any suggestions? I'm looking at rearsets now and might switch out the bars to a lower profile. I'll check the sprockets this weekend to see if the PO did anything weird with them. its running really well...

I don't have stock bars, but they are not true cafe bars either, a couple of inches above the triple trees. looking forward to your fix for the keihins, as it seems screwing around with the mikunis is gonna be more trouble than its worth. should i rejet the keihins? i'm running 100 and 68 right...

the only reason I wanted to go with the 32's is they come pre-setup, and as a set, with all the parts. I wouldn't know where to even begin to look for 26's, 28's or 30's or whatever you would recommend for my particular setup. 120mph??? I can only get my bike up to about 75mph max! is that...

tired of fooling around with my keihins and thinking about going with a set of mikuni vm 32's from ebay. just wondering if any of you have done this swap and what experiences you have had with it. installation issues reliability issues performance compatibility can you get velocity stacks for...
