Awesome, You guys still having vintage bike night??

Thanks for the good advice everyone!

Gotcha, what about the coker tires? they don't look much better but the tread is a little more agressive.

Good point haha! Its just for looks and cruising around town, are they really that bad I never tried them, I just like the old school look of them.

Hey guys i'm currently building a cb450 brat bike and right now the rims are 1.85 width front and back. I would like to run 4.50 Firestone or coker tires. I have heard a lot of controversy saying that you can't put 4.50 on that small of a rim, but I have seen many people do it. Is it worth the...

Awesome ill look it over! Thanks

Just picked up a new project, 1970 cl450. Runs good and shifts up through 5th no problem, but down shifting is the issue. It will click one down and then just wont go anymore. Anyone have this issue with a 450 before?

Did you use the stock rim width for a 200 to accommodate those tires? I have a cb200 also and I want to do 3.50 front and back but i'm not sure if the stock rim width is enough for that size?

The bike will flood and bog out when trying to give it throttle. Im not sure what pieces are missing.

I guess i'm being to vague when I got the bike I opened up the carbs to clean them and the slides were upside down and I was told by the previous owner that he took them apart and lost something out of them, I dunno what piece it was but he was clueless to carbs anyway. I also did not cut my...

Gotcha so I went through everything like you said and my coil is the only thing I haven't replaced so got a new one and I have great fire. So my bike runs but not very well with my old carbs on it. So im gonna grab some mikuni vm20s can you recommend jetting? My bike is bored .50 over and has...

Yeah it seems like its getting a lil too much gas. But even when I shut the fuel off and clean the plugs it doesnt seem to wanna go

It wants to quit like it cant burn the fuel

Yeah everthing was done right, its getting fire but it just doesnt seem like enough. It wil start for a min and turn off and wont start again

Hahaha right. So good news I found another compression tester sitting around in my grandfather shed its one of the small ones with a rubber tube you just push up against the spark plug hole, the rubber is dry rotted so I couldn't get the best seal but I got about 150 psi! So I guess my other...

Im sorry guys my friend got on my account and said that bullshit..

Yeah that was done also.

Yeah I got new valve seals and everything was done right so I'm kinda lost here but ill try to get a diff tester and go from there.

Yes the vavles are set right I spaced rings correctly and used plenty of bore oil. The compression before the rebuild was about 50 per cylinder and I am using a HF tester I have no idea why its so low? I wonder if it will run with around 85 compression? Does anyone know the average compression...

Hey guys I recently picked up a clean cb200 for a cafe project. It had low compression when I got it so I decided to do a rebuild. I had it bored out .50 over and had the heads cleaned up with new valve seals. I put it all back together with new pistons and rings that were .50 over and I have...
