Hmm yah. The more I read up on manual brake bleeding the more I hear it is really difficult, so i doubt I got it right my first or second try. I will buy a mityvac and give it a go. Thanks guys, much appreciated. I posted over in sohc4 2 days ago with no responses, and I get 2 responses almost...

1982 CB650. I broke my old brake reservoir during a spill so I replaced it with an identical new one. I installed it and then bled the brakes. My first time. After bleeding it the first time I put the cap back on and pumped the brake lever a few times expecting pressure to build up or...

Best jetting post I have read. However, my bike is giving me problems, and I can't figure out where my problem fits in all of this. When I bought the bike it had sponge-like unifliter pods on each carb of my 82 CB650. I installed K&N pods instead. The bike runs pretty good, i have never...

Re: CB650 (82) updated Finaly found time to update my project. Its all primed and assembled, and I've bought the black paint, but it looks like it wont be finished until next summer because i had to leave it at home when i moved to go back to university.... anyway, here are some pictures...

I was curious about how the front suspension worked too, so i emailed the guy a while ago, he said "both trees rotate on ball joints (just like the new BMW forks) There are some plans to build this bike, but nothing definite yet. Merry Xmass, Mark

I have it. I got it off brandsoftheworld.com ... it may not be under honda, but search motorcycles or vintage and you should be able to find it.

So far I love my S5. The super macro setting is perfect for the photography I need to do in school (taking pictures of products) It was a "no stopping zone". The sign said no parking between 3-7pm. It was 4:00. :-\ But $95 is ridiculous. If it was like $30 I would pay for it, but im not...

Sent my S1 IS in a week or so ago, got my new S5 IS today. I was really happy until I saw the $95 parking ticket siting on my bike when I went to ride home >:( >:( >:( The repair form says the parts to fix the old one are on back order...so they replaced it. I also asked them to replace it in...

i called canon and they told me to mail my camera to one of their repair places, and that they would fix it. Are just saying this and actually replacing them with S5s? I was going to buy a new camera but if it I get an S5 I wont have to. So I hope I get the same deal you did.

OMG thank you thank you, my S1 IS just started doing this funky thing with the LCD screen. it turns purple and stuff... i thought i was screwed. Thanks for posting this!

my thoughts exactly. if there is one thing you dont want to break, its your handlebar

Ive had bad experiences with metal that i've heated up to bend. personally i wouldn't use those. a broken handlebar could be very very bad... besides, if you're spending the money to chrome it again, why not just order some real clubmans on ebay?

Im currently going to university full time, studying Industrial Design. Its cool that there are industrial designers on this forum, I guess it makes sense though, modifying motorcycles is pretty 'industrial design-ish'

Mine had two wires. The stock had three (the extra being a ground wire). I added a ground wire to one of the bolts and connected it to the third wire in the harness. You may not need to do this, but i did because the light was mounted on the fiberglass seat and therefore had no ground.

Yah i tried doing that. I used masking paper and printed out the image on it and tried cutting it out with an exacto-knife. The graphic is so small that its really hard and the curves come out looking choppy. I think I'm still gonna try the decal method. I have a guy printing some out for me but...
