    Hmmm small bore Harley cafe???

    So I am almost done with the GT550 and already on the prowl for another project. While surfing the local CL I find a project Aermacchi HD 125 for a decent-ish price. I kinda like the looks of the bike right off, but after a little research I find this...

    Carb boots.

    Ok so I cannot find a decent set of VM28 Mikunis for my GT550 for a decent price anywhere. However I did find a set of VM34 carbs off a 600cc two-stroke snowmobile that look like they will do the job nicely. I have a couple issues fitting them however: First, I need to switch out the throttle...

    WTB- Scooters/pit bikes/golf cart

    I need a couple of scooters and a golf cart, all I am finding locally are new modern stuff or overpriced vintage stuff. These will be used by our drivers and crew guys to run about the paddock etc, and I know there is some cool stuff out there. Not looking for some pricey Vespa or similar...

    Tires?

    I know there are a ton of opinions out there, but I went to the bike store earlier today and the salesguy made me dizzy with tire options for the CB750. It LOOKS LIKE an Avon Roadrunner would suit my needs just fine, but I thought I would hold out for an opinion or two here. So what I am...

    Picked up a 76 CB500 twin today..

    For a whopping $250 bucks. Spent some time talking to the guy selling it. Seems that when he bought it he sent some buddys just to look at it, and they just went ahead and bought it. It wasnt running, but he rebuilt tyhe carbs and fiddled with the electricals until he was able to make it run...

One is in really pristine shape other than a few pirated parts- lenses, chrome, etc are in almost new condition, tank is already stripped for paint, and the cases have no oxidation and...

    My CB 750 running project

    As I mentioned in my introduction thread, a 1973 CB750 came my way. Its a little beat- dents in the tank, missing signals, etc. but starts, runs, and shifts like a new bike! Well, almost lol- the cam chain is a bit noisier than I would like and the valves may need adjusting, but it truly does...
