I've been really curious about this. I've seen plenty of videos showing how fast and effective they are for heating up steel. I'd love to have something like that for heating up steel in the shop versus using my oxy/acetylene torch. The tech just isn't in my realm of expertise. So I'm clueless...

I’m at a point now with my builds that I’d really like to start tinkering around with CNC machined parts. Mainly building custom triple clamps, instrument clusters, and other random one-off parts. I have plenty of experience with 3D modeling and CAD, so I know this will give me a little bit of a...

Fixin to start a new project bike for myself soon. I like doing monoshock conversions, and this bike is gonna be a heavy one. I’m just wondering what big bikes out there have monoshocks that I could potentially buy a used shock off of. Biggest one I can think of is the GL1800 goldwing. But I’d...

Just posted on ebay now. You can see some of the work I did on this site. I'd also consider a trade for a BMW 650GS. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/302474483987

Going through the standard procedures, one of the checks I did was on the 3 yellow wires going to/from the generator to the rectifier. According the manual (IIRC) it should ready less than .2 ohms. I made sure the battery was disconnected for this test. Assuming I did this correctly, and that...

I've made several sets of cable plugs for capping the holes left behind from removing the tachometer and speedometer cables. So far, I've tested and installed these on GL1000, GL1100, CB350four, and CB500four Hondas. But if your cable ends/openings are roughly 14-14.5 mm wide, then they should...

Truth be told, I actually bought and started this project a year ago. And since then, I had put it back together so my wife and I could enjoy riding on it together (since our other bikes are all single seaters/customs). But for now I'll post all the work I've done on it until that point, since...

Been trying to isolate the issue with all 4 carbs' fuel overflow on my wifes CB350four I've been building. I recently rebuilt them, but the kit did not include new floats. I know that the float needles and seats are seated and sealed, not leaking, and I can blow into the fuel line and they...

I've actually already been working on this for a while, but I never posted about it on here. What we have here is 1973 Honda CB350four. And per her direction and my guidance, turning it into a sort of brat bike. Explanation of work in chronological order according the the attachments...

Workin away on my wife's CB350f, and found a nasty crack in the top triple clamp. Can't seem to find a specific used replacement for it on eBay, so I'm wondering what all triple clamps are a direct swap. I'm sure somebody here knows :D

I've searched and searched to be sure, but I can't find an answer to this particular question. I've finished rebuilding the carbs for my wife's '73 CB350four and after setting up the dyna s ignition last night I thought I'd test it and it fired up right away. So now I want sync the carbs up...

Like I needed another project in my garage... ok I did :) I got super lucky with this find. When I lived in NZ I owned a couple of Honda GB400's and spent my time traveling the islands on it. I have the fondest memories on that bike. Now that I'm back in the states I've found myself wanting to...

My dad used to have a goldwing with a superwedge fairing on it. And still has a number of spare ones layin around. he keeps tellin me about the miniwedge they made. About how rare it is. Well, I've been trying for ages to find one... In fact, I still have NO idea what it looks like. For one of...

I've got a busy winter ahead of me. Doing 2 projects this year. I've posted phase 2 of my goldwing bobber here just a moment ago (http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=54475.0) But over the weekend I picked up my next project. This one to be a cafe racer. Found an 80 ironhead sportster...

Dont know why I haven't posted here yet. but I'm bored at work and have bikes on the brain. In the words of Game of Thrones, Winter is coming which means I'll be starting phase 2 of my goldwing project. If you want to see the original build of this last winter, you can see the full project...
