First off, it's been a while since I have posted on here, seems like this place has grown a fair amount, good to see that. Anyways, the bike in question is a street ridden CB350, and for the sake of simplicity, I am just going to copy/paste this entry from another forum.. So I've decided that...

In the for sale section of this forum, I have listed a XS650 I am thinking of selling/trading/what have you. Had a local guy contact me through CL and here is what he had offered to trade. It is a 2002 DR650 decked out with lots of goodies for adventure touring, minus the road tires. At first, I...

The time has come for me to finally consider selling my Yamaha I put together. What you are looking at is a 1981 Yamaha XS650 that I built for myself to try out the whole “cruiser” thing, and it is just not my cup of tea. I have a CB350 twin Cafe styled bike and that machine just suits me...

Haven't been up here in a while, so thought I'd post what I've been up to. No cafe this time, and pleeassseee don't call it a brat style. I won't go into why for the reason of sounding like a douche, but it's just a motorcycle that I built because I thought it'd be cool to ride. Something that...

I am working up some fiberglass parts, and since I am making them from scratch, I can use any mounting system I see fit. Problem is, I'm not sure what the 'best' way is. I am building a seat, so the top will be upholstered, so no through bolts are possible. But here is what I am thinking: Glass...

Not so sure about the music. But the footage in my opinion is priceless. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c6ZWPKX800E&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=it&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed...

I really need some help on this one. I am having a terrible time with my other machine(besides the Honda), here is a link to the 650rider.com forums for all the information. Please offer any insight you can on the situation if you have any...thanks guys.. Steve...

It's probably just me. But I can't get them dialed in worth a damn. They seem to work well for a bit, then without any warning, it presents itself again. Little background on the bike: Internally stock engine(rebuilt) Pods Mac 2-1 with no baffles( ;D) New-ish iridium plugs New wires Factory...

...or anyone who doesn't have valve seals. You guys burning some oil? My 350 twin rig burns some, and I am fairly certain the guides are just flat wore out. Just wanted to see if I was the only one having this problem... Steve

So I have this exhaust for my CB, and for the longest time I was pretty content with the baffle being in it. Not only because it sounded pretty decent, but because it was totally stuck in there. Well, about a week ago, I set out to get the baffle out. It took me putting vice grips on the baffle...

Just curious guys, had some thoughts about selling this XS I just picked up. Just not sure if I want to get into another bike at the moment. But, I need some opinions. Where should I start on an asking price? Here is a little info about the bike. 1981 Special II, unknown mileage, runs great...

Need one to throw into my scoot while I build up another lump. I live in Orlando, work at a dealership, and would be more than willing to pay for shipping. Let me know what you have! Just something that runs decent so I don't have my bike down for too long. Thanks! Steve

Aftermarket. I'm not over buying them from Honda, but would like to get them all together in a kit. But both I had gotten before just flat out suck. Anyone have any suggestions? Steve

...Let me first give you guys a little bit of back story. Recently(last December, 5th actually) I was riding my bicycle and I was hit by a car, t-boned in fact, no broken bones, superficial cuts and road rash, but my leg was severely bruised and I was off of it for a month, and couldn't do much...

Of this tank: I'd like to know the full capacity, and the amount of reserve. Why? Well, I think(think) I ran into the reserve today, but then only filled it with 2.5 gallons. Maybe it's a 3.5 tank with a 1 gallon reserve? I have no idea, never really thought about it! :D Anybody have any...

Dude, you're in "The Horse"! I Don't know if you saw it yet, but you're in the back talk section. Fuckin awesome man! And for those that haven't heard/read the mag, it's a good one. But congrats man! Steve

Can I ask somebody with a CB350 twin measure the voltage across the battery terminals at idle, with the headlight on? Please? I really need some concrete information from other riders to help diagnose this problem... :-\ Steve

..I've been really...really quiet about this over the course of me putting this one together. I love build threads, but I have not the patience, or forethought to put one together for myself. I also didn't want to quite reveal the paint until it was done. It's something that is quite a departure...

http://the751.tri-pixel.com/ Of this fellow. I'm really impressed that he had the courage and will power to do this. Read through it if you haven't ever seen it before. It's amazing, and I think it will appeal to the motorcyclist in all of us. It did to me at least. Steve

Working on a CB350 twin, and what strikes me as the most abnormal is the complete lack of fuses(save one) and the lack of relays(I'm used to the automotive world). My concern is that the headlight is basically hardwired into the same circuit as the ignition system, same of course with the...
