It’s been three years since the last post but oh boy- here we go! I finally said screw it, let’s get this going. A few bikes sold, a new bike purchase, now this. Painted the frame. Lots of other bits too. Assembled the front wheel. Back wheel in progress. It’s almost starting to look...

If it’s straight, yeah I’m interested! I wouldn’t need the tire, that would save on shipping, which would be to 44720 Here's where I list all my bikes: '71 Kaw 250 Bison '81 KZ750 cafe '94 XR250L 2014 Yamaha Bolt In progress: '68 CL350

Is the front wheel straight? I’ve bought two online now and both were bent and my bike hops at certain speeds... Here's where I list all my bikes: '71 Kaw 250 Bison '81 KZ750 cafe '94 XR250L 2014 Yamaha Bolt In progress: '68 CL350

As a healthcare worker in the US (fire/EMS and RN) I can assure you wait times at most Emergency departments in the states are also horrible. We have the same problem- everyone goes there for the sniffles, GI bug, stitches, etc. Part of the reason is the poorest people (Medicaid, or no...

Well, the most I’ve done to my 350 project was get the title into my name. I’m involved with the ex wife (again) over custody so the attorneys are getting the bike budget, not to mention what I had saved for a house. It’s not their fault, it’s hers. Here's where I list all my bikes: '71 Kaw...

Sheet metal airbox Maybe you can mold a short (1/2” long ) stub of aluminum pipe into the box where your carbs are, and just connect them to the carbs with a short section of rubber/silicone tubing. There’s a great hardware store by me and they have all kinds of tubing in different diameters...

Check to make sure you don’t have a crack in your coil or wire. These components get old and the insulation breaks down and cracks. Often the wire is leaning close or onto the cylinder head fins etc. Electrical shorts there will be most pronounced under a load. If you have a test light clip...

I purchased my Kaw for $400. It ran, shifted, etc but had no title. Lots of issues that took me a couple months to sort out. I'd say yours might be worth approx half that, maybe a little more or less depending on if the lights work, it has a title, etc. If you can button it up and get it to...

Re: "the Mooch" Kinda sums up what this whole thing is about for a lot of Trump supporters- we just do whatever we want because it makes you mad. 100% childish. It's incredible to me what people are willing to flush down the toilet just to spite someone else. Here's where I list...

I picked up this bike summer of 2014, traded my low miles 95% restored RD400 for it. I was looking for a bike more suited to highway at the time and didn't have any liquid assets. The previous owner had done some work- added the tail section, paint, wiseco 810 kit. As usual, it needed a...

Mine stunk for a few weeks after wrapping/running them. Mine are dyed black. Which, incidentally, the black has faded in areas, along the edge of the wrap so at least it looks uniform, but it's annoying nonetheless. My buddy said the dye isn't supposed to be permanent and I was supposed to...

Any stickers left? Here's where I list all my bikes: '71 Kaw 250 Bison '81 KZ750 cafe '94 XR250L 2014 Yamaha Bolt In progress: '68 CL350

Depends on if you want to get phone calls about "I'm at Panda Express and my bike won't start again" etc. I feel like if your gf doesn't enjoy the "fun" of fixing old stuff the RE is the way to go. 2008 has the UCE and throttle body injection right? Here's where I list all my bikes: '71 Kaw...

I ordered a sheet of uni foam filter media, removed the paper element, then cut the foam into a long strip that fits in place of the paper. I cut it a touch wide and long so it's a bit of a squeeze to get it in there; that way I don't have to worry about it shifting or sliding out, or any air...

Nice job, I like it. Here's where I list all my bikes: '71 Kaw 250 Bison '81 KZ750 cafe '94 XR250L 2014 Yamaha Bolt In progress: '68 CL350

I would love to make it to Barber this year. I work that weekend (and it's my birthday too) so probably very slim chance but I'm gonna try. In the meantime you're just gonna have to imagine how awesome it would be to hang out with me and talk about bikes and also gross things at work...
