I'm selling my Firestone Deluxe Champion Tires. 4.00 x 19 front & 4.50 x 18 rear. There is less than 1000 miles on them. Looking to get $200 for them.

I was driving to my buddies house yesterday about 15 miles from my house. I was waiting at a light about a block away from his house and without any notice the bike dies I look down and the gauge is dark. I go to look at and fouled connections and everything looks fine. My hunch is its the...

Hey Gents, When I rebuilt the top end of the CB550, I purchased some stainless allen head bolts. Turns out that they weren't machined perfectly. The worst example of this is one that stripped out the valve head. I have oil seeping out from the top of the head, as I can't get it tightened...

I'm trying to start up my 1978 CB750K project. I have fuel and spark but it's not firing. The neutral light is not on, although the trans is in neutral and the clutch can be pulled in. I know there is a circuit on the clutch lever but those wires got yanked out of the switch by the PO. Is...

Anyone had this happen to their PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW TAROZZIS!!!!!!

Dudes & Dweebs I noticed today while riding that as I was coming to a stop, there was a decent knocking that seemed like it was coming from the bottom of the crank case. It was a solid 8-10 knocks that successively slowed down as I came to a stop. I have NO idea what would cause this but It...

I took the CB550 on the fwy tonight when I went over the overpass bridge, I had a bad cases of the wobbles. Nothing to the point where it threw me but definitely enough to scare the piss out of me. What caused that? How do I remedy? Background: I swapped the front end for a GL1000 and have...

The other night I was working on my CB550. My socket wrench hit the block, which was uncovered, it sparked pretty bad, blew the 15A fuse and when I turned the key and NOTHING happened. Traced back through the loom with a multimeter and I could find almost NO power. I remember there was a way...

Got this on Friday from Leatherup.com It's decent quality. The leather is real heavy. The zippers are a little rough and need to be sipped about 100 more times but eventually then will be fine. Only cost me $100 and it was there the next day! Here's the link: http://goo.gl/5mv7g

Looking to get the Rear Brake set up on my '74 CB550 honed in. There is a fair amount of play and I cant get the positioning correct. Really thinking of a rear disc conversation or a brake cable. Anyone done either with success?

I'm not in a place where I can grab this just yet but... What are thoughts on these things? I know that the diehards will tell me not to waste my money and get Hobart, Lincoln, Miller... I just cant justify the price tag on the hobbyist things that I will be doing at this point...

I changed to a GL1000 Front end to get dual disc. I have a new master cylinder with a 14mm banjo bolt. I go to bleed the brakes today and I get fluid coming out of the breather but I can't get and resistance from the handle. Falls flat every time! What gives? Would love some input on the two...

If you have them, let me know. Bent the crap out of mine being an idiot. Thanks, RT

Good News/Bad News Good: I finally got spark and the engine if spinning on the bike that I have been working on for the last 3 yrs. Bad: I cant get fuel in to the cylinders. I have fuel getting in to the float bowls. I checked each bowl by removing the drain plugs. What could my issues be?

Anyone have one of these?

I have been trying to adjust my valves all day. When I rotate the engine to Top Dead Center 1-4 Im supposed to have both valves on either cylinder 1 or 4 be loose. Then you spin the shaft one more time and the other cylinder should be loose. Same thing can be said for TDC 2-3... As of right...

Hey Guys, really trying to get the bike started this weekend but Im running in to an issue. When trying to adjust the tappets I realized I cant get the bike to TDC for 1&4 turning the nut securing the points (i have Dyna S ignition). It locks just before TDC for 2&3 but never actually gets...

I just realized my carbs weren't shipped with a return spring and it seems like Honda doesn't make one any longer. Cant find one on ebay...Anyone remedied this situation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Added another project to the garage last night. A 1978 Honda CM185T. The back story is this...Im about to get married (June 16th of this year) and I have been with my fiance for eight years. Her father is a mechanic and used to rally race and ride moto cross in Argentina, where he, and her...

Hi, I am wiring up my 550. I tested a bunch of things last night. Continuity for all wires is good. I have replaced the plugs with new units. Mine turned to powder when human skin came in to contact. I have a this battery: It's reading this: I feel like that's low. I have tested...
