looking for a new front master for my wife's XS400. Per the chart below from http://www.vintagebrake.com/mastercylinder.htm and the text in the line, he says he likes a ratio of 27:1. From the research I did, the XS400 caliper is a 38mm single piston caliper. Does that mean that there are no...

Are there different sizes for rear master cylinders? The reason I ask is that I am converting a XS400 from drum to disk and I need to add a rear master. I was thinking of going with one with a built in Reservoir from a dirt bike. Will it matter? I know that they have different sizes for front...

Need help finding a switch. Looking for a micro button to use to switch between low and high beams on my headlight. Would like something small with a led to let me know the high beams are on. Would this work? I think that what I need is a single pole, double throw (SPDT). Would I need a relay...

About time I started a build thread for this bike. This one is for my wife, she has a vision of what she wants. Happy wife = happy life. Here is her inspiration She wants it flat blue tank with tangerine wheels. Here is the blue that I am thinking of, with a matte clear. I plan to...

I need custom shorter lines for cosmetic reasons. I went to the place I have used in the past, Spigler. I need 2 lines 13" (300 mm) long each. I wand of each will have a 45 degree banjo and the other will have a 10 degree. Just silver with clear cover. They want $124 plus $10 shipping which was...

This poor Volvo. I saw this on the road over the weekend. It was also pulling too big of a trailer, had a roof box and soaking wet mattress on top of the trailer. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I want to install a bottom mount headlight and tuck it in close to the bike. Is there any reason to NOT drill into the lower triple clamp? I was thinking of making a bracket that would have two bolts attached to the triple and have the light mount to it. There is some flat space below the...

I have a Bell Bullitt helmet for sale. Size is XXL, but can be switched to XL with a new $19 liner. There are some cracks it the gel coat and a few very light scuffs - It has NOT been dropped or crashed. Cosmetic only. Great helmet to custom paint! Have original box, manual, and helmet bag...

I have a brand new Bell Bullitt helmet - in white. size XXL, but it can be changed to L or XL by swapping out the $19 liner. This color is not being discounted like some of the others. just did a check and I cannot find it advertised for less than $399 This helmet has never been tried on...

other than the two from bike exif, any tips, trick, articles or iPhone add-ons and apps that you would recommend for some good pictures? I don't have a DSLR and don't have the $$ for one. I have seen some very good car pics from iPhones posted, but mine always seem to look like crap. Maybe it...

I know that I could do this myself with a few vendors and a machine shop, but honestly, this is the stuff I hate the most. My wife wants to get rid of the thin stock forks on her XS400 but keep the Yamaha mag wheel and handlebars, not clip-ons. I know that I can get some Aprilia RS125 forks...

I am looking to see what others have done for lights on their upholstered café seat. I was thinking a cat eye shaped LED light would look nice under it, but it is hard to tell which one would fit the shape the best. I don't need turn signals and plan to mount the plate under the light. here...

I recently painted my frame. I bought a new gun and the big cup made it hard to get to some of the inside areas. I wound up shooting clear from several different angles. It looked great at first, but now that I look closer, there are areas that have some overspray. I have never buffed something...

Any idea on how to get discount tickets? I was going to take the wife and kids, but $40 a day per person for General Admission is insane! I bet they get you on parking as well. I have bought more than one project bike for that! I really just want to go for the swap meet, but I cant see...

Well, I bought the ugliest Moto Guzzi that I have ever seen. Not that I have seen many of them. They are either pretty rare in these parts or blend in so much that I don’t notice them. I have always loved the idea of them since hearing the 1990’s song Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle by Cake. “Well...

Anyone ever come across something like this? I only want a single gauge on my bike and ideally it would consist of a analog tachometer with a built in digital speedo. Similar to this unit - https://cognitomoto.com/collections/new-products/products/motogadget-motoscope-tiny but instead of a...
