    Wanted a bike. So I bought 5.

    So. Ended up buying a cylinder hone tool from autozone. Went a few different grades on the stones it comes with. Ended up real happy with the cylinder. I chose not to have it bored as the bike only has 5k original miles on it. Got my pistons and rings and new clutch disks, reassembly went...

    Photobucket hell?

    How come 80% of the photos posted on this site are unviewable by me? I get some photobucket error nonsense. Anyone able to help? Using the app but have the same issue on the site. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

    Nice! Thanks for the suggestion! Sadly I tried the zip tie method. These tires apparently have a pretty stiff wire bead and no quantity of zip ties was going to change that circumference. The bars worked great. What I lacked was rim guards. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

    Wanted a bike. So I bought 5.

    Well. Have some time off before I start my new job. So. I'd like to say I've made a lot of progress, but I've encountered several speed bumps. Finally got the wheels together. Dime city came through with some beautiful spokes and I got the rear wheel together. Attempted to do my best at truing...

    Yeah I called dime city and he couldn't tell me the angle of the outer spokes. But it's worth a shot. My eBay ones are most definitely wrong. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

    Posted in the wheel/tire section as well. Having issues tonight lacing up the rear wheel. Anyone know if the CL350 rear hub requires non traditional spokes? The 90* outers are just not right. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

    CL350 rear wheel lacing - Funky Spoke Angle?

    Please help! This is most definitely the outer spoke. 90*. It's almost like I need an 85* spoke. Is the rear wheel supposed to be offset or something? I can't tell from my pictures. I got the inners laced and then started the outers and it was just was off. I laced my front wheel up a few...

    Hey well, if I get half that I'd still make out in the positive. I already found and bought a set of cb350 headers for $50 shipped on eBay. So thanks for the heads up! Made some progress tonight. Laced my first wheel ever. Haven't trued it up as it got late. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'd say they're pretty decent. Any idea what it'd be worth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wanted a bike. So I bought 5.

    Haha, that's a fantastic exhaust idea - speaking of, I was thinking about cutting off the existing mufflers and either welding or clamping on some cheap, slim mufflers. Any suggestions? I want sleek and slim. Not tuba horns like everyone seems to love so much (no offense).

    https://youtu.be/PkEanx3qgws If you can see the video.got around to wet sanding, polishing and waxing the rank today. Mighty impressed with Dupli-Color paint from cans! A little bit at a time. Ordered rear shocks off eBay. Trimmed the eBay seat to fit around the tank mount.

    Project CB350F cafe brat

    Hey, I bought that same seat. Can I ask how you plan on fitting it up to the tank? I think I'm going to cut into the white plastic base so that the tank mount doesn't prevent it from snugging up. No matter how you place it, it's got that wicked gap. Your thoughts?

    Hey everyone. This is my first post here. Also this is my first time owning a motorcycle of my own. I've been wanting a cafe racer since I was in high school. Now 31 and a divorced single father, I scoured the internet for weeks for a good cafe project. Instead I found a guy cleaning out his...
