Hey Guys, So here's the story! I'm finally back home on leave from Navy A-school and upon getting ready to ride my bike which I havent seen in a full year (mortal sin, I know), I realize that I cant find my key. How should I go about setting up a switch to bypass that damn ignition? BTW it's a...

Anyone ever been? I'm feeling pretty anxious about the lifestyle change for 2 months, not to mention being housed with a bunch of 18 year olds (Im 26). Any military guys out there have some words of wisdom?

A couple years ago I installed a set from Ebay, I think they were manufactured by sun-tech or some brand with the word sun in the name. My bike sat completely unused for that time span, and when I came back to it both gaiters were cracked where they stretch around the fork and then split half...

Hey guys!! I can finally say I have my bike completed to a state where it is not only functional, but in enough of a polished state that I can probably hold myself back from repainting and improving parts for a couple years....maybe. Ok so here's the story: I bought this back about 3 years ago...

hey guys, Im in the process of rebuilding my front caliper and I'm a little confused on a white rubber washer Ive found within the assembly. It fits between the piston and the pad, and looks to belong, but I can't find any mention of this washer after scouring the internet and looking at...

Okay, so I'm finally wrapping things up after working on this damn thing intermittantly for the last 2 years. All in all, I didn't plan my rearset positioning perfectly, so my brake lever hits the exhaust. I need to drop the muffler by about an inch to be perect and figure the headers could just...

Hey guys, I've stripped a sparkplug hole on my cb350f and have purchased a helicoil kit, but it didnt come with any inserts. I'm out of town on work, so I can't take any measurements on the bike. Does anyone know how long the threads on a sparkplug are? There's just so many options for length...

Hey guys, Im going to be using longer shocks to lift up the rear of my CB350f and figure Cb750 shocks should do the job well. How long are they eye to eye, and does it vary from year to year? Right not my shocks are 12 1/2" and Id like to make it more like 14". Thanks Ya'll!

Hey guys..I really should start using my build thread again, but I know I'll get a response faster if I just post in the help section. Bike: '74 cb350f Outside temperature: 48 degrees So, my top end has been rebuilt. I installed new rings,lapped the valves, installed all new gaskets and valve...

Alright, so here we go: I need to shorten the length of my throttle cable. I understand soldering on the new barrel and cutting cables and housing to length, but what about the cable end that attaches to the throttle control side. I see that the elbow unscrews from the cap at the end, but how...

Hey everyone, long time no talk! I took a long break from working on my bike, and now after this amazing warm spurt, I've built up the motivation to start the finishing touches on my bike. So here's my dilemma: Id like to upgrade the front brake line on my cb350f to braided line. I want to...

Shoddy pictures, no info about modifications...hell, I can't even tell if this thing actually has a seat. Am I missing something? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-Honda-CL450-CL-450-cafe-racer-custom-scrambler-/120639314813?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item1c16a9db7d#ht_500wt_1182

Hey ya'll, I'd like to use my remaining engine paint to paint my front break caliper and of course I'd also like to cure it properly...so my question is. Is there anything within the front caliper assembly that would melt or get damaged If I baked it in my toaster oven? :) I know these things...

I was going to use these clamps to mount my rearsets, but decided to give in and pay for welding. I have seen them used for mounts though, and would definitely work because of the construction design...the more you tighten them up, the tighter it holds to the frame. These things are thick and...

A problem I was afraid of for a while was the clearance between the hoop I installed and my rear tire...turns out it might really be a problem. As it sits, there is about 1 1/2 inches clearance, which really sketches me out....one big bump and I'm toast. Do you guys have any ideas to increase...

Bought these a while ago and just recently decided to go with clipons. Never actually used, but have been mounted on my triple tree for a bit. Have a few scuffs here and there from bumping around in my closet. This is the only visable scratch. $20 or trade for?

All painted, almost time to clear. I'm going to clearcoat my frame, kickstand, center stand, swingarm, rims, tank and seat.... (basically everything) I pruchased two cans of spraymax 2k, think that will be enough or should I get another?? It can be difficult to estimate paint, I mean it took...

I have a CB350F Anyone tried the mini speedometer from Dime City? How about anything bouncing around on EBAY? I'd like to get one of those digital one that all you guys use, but I'm afraid that I'll have trouble adjusting to reading the digits of my speed as opposed to just glancing at the...

Got a bridgeport or just the patience to do some straight grinding on a bench grinder??? Well, I need some work done. Need the heads of 3 bolts zipped down from 12.5mm to 10mm Willing to pay cash or trade for clubmans or some other stuff. A great activity to keep you occupied during these...
