Im sure this may have been covered at some point... Been a long while since ive been on here, but thought i would toss this out there in case it wasnt. So everyone likes their quick turn throttles.. Some of ya spend big bucks on em, some people simply use some PVC to fatten up the stock...

These are Kawasaki ZRX take-offs (taken off of my ZRX, 17K miles on it) VERY nice shocks, especially for a cafe build. Even more so if you're actually building for performance rather than look. But they look the shite too.. These are 14.5" eye to eye mount, preload adjustable, compression AND...

Holy B'Jebbers this place has changed.... I havent been on in quite a while. Welp, I got into another project, and ended up with a bunch o stuff i cant use, and frankly its taking up space... So, without further a'do... CB750 Cafe Seat. Stock pan, stock hinges, some superficial surface rust...

Well, fellas and ladies, Its been a while since ive posted. Been stuck working on alot of OTHER peoples bikes lately, havent had much time to do anything of my own. Now that the riding season is over (and, it was a fun one for me, over 14K miles amassed on a couple of various Zook UJMs and the...

So i dunno if you guys have posted this lil trickeroo up or not, but here goes. Keep in mind, this may not work on EVERYONE's bike, especially those who have smaller metal killswitch/throttle sleeve housings, but for the late 70's early 80s bikes who had the bigger, plastic ones, its a cinch...

A bit of research, and ive got nothing solid to go on other than a few scant suggestions that each Suzuki dealer in the US got only ONE of these babies, which would put the numbers at the time to around 1500 imported. Only made one year, although the drivetrain and frame setup is from the 1100E...

Hey fellas, and possibly ladies.. I will be traveling to Concord on Sept 12-13 to pick up my new baby (83 GS1100ES) and was wondering if anyone in that area would like to meet up for a cup of coffee the like?? Would be nice to meet some fellow Ton-uppers in person. Josh

Here in a couple weeks I will be traveling all the way to New Hampshire to pick up this gem. It is one of my DREAM BIKES, and its in pretty decent shape. Will need a little spit and polish, but Im told she runs amazingly already, jetted and tuned for the K&Ns and the SuperTrapp pipe. Paying a...

Well kids, I am putting this beast up for sale. I have done ALOT to this bike to get it running absolutely TOP NOTCH, and, after putting over 7000 miles on her since MAY!!! I have decided to pass her on to someone else, as I will VERY SOON (like a week from now) have another like her, except the...

Looking for a set of headlight/fork ears. Preferably the lil universal ones or whatever. Chrome or black, doesnt matter to me. Will need to fit on a 35mm fork! Anyone have anything? Also, looking for a set of clipons for same 35mm fork. Make not important. If i cant find anything, I spose i...

And by that i mean LITTLE! I ran it up and down the street before realizing that my rear tire was pretty low. Since i dont have my taillight/plate bracket on there yet, i didnt risk running it down the road to fill it up. Ignore the paint, its still a work in progress, as is the megaphone hanger...

So i left Steves after we worked on shimming my needles in my carbs (fantastic mod BTW...if you have any hesitation in the midrange from an otherwise good running bike...DO THIS! its easy, and WELL worth it.) So im headed toward the highway, and just about to get on it, passing thru the...

Some of you guys may know Shoe48. Green Kaw 750 twin, awesome cafe bike. Unfortunately he was hit by a car not too long ago. I just found out tonight, but after a go in ICU, some surgery, and a bout with infection, he is home and healing. I'll be heading up to see him with a couple of guys off...

The storms over the last couple days wreaked havoc on my cafe project. It was covered, (i dont have a garage :( ) but it did no good. We had tornados, 100mph straight line winds, and 8 plus inches of rain in 24 hours. Anyway, water got into my carbs thru the pods (cover those suckers when it...

Of the 77 GS750B cafe project im working on. Seems the forum doesnt like me lately. Anyway, here's try number 6. Cross your fingers. Body work still needs finished, but i shot it black for a quick mock up. Still need to install the brake system, and tune her up a bit, but she's running..

Why is this site running the way it is? Seems on a daily basis it takes forever to load, i just tried posting with pics four times and it timed out every single time? Im not bitching, just wondering whats up? Its a bit frustrating sometimes, trying to share some pics and stuff and having to make...

ITS ALIVE!!! After months of sitting in the basement, rebuilding the top end of the motor, rebuilding the carbs, rejetting based on guesses, since i couldnt try my jetting out, rewiring the entire bike, tweaking this and that, painting, etc etc etc. I got the roller out of the basement, hauled...

In Springfield, Ohio :) I will be there, with pockets of money hopefully, and a trailer and truck...hope to find a couple more projects for next winter. Im really shooting for a 1000cc-er to do a Superbike replica with. Anyway, anyone else wanna go? It also happens to be my Birthday :) Josh

And Ive managed to put over 280 miles on my newtome 82 GS1100G. After a day one snag of shaftie woes, its been one hell of a runner! This thing has balls for days. Only problem ive had was day one, coming back into town from an afternoon of country roadedness, my inner hub gear spat a couple of...

Well, he's far from little. 82 GS1100G. I actually felt kinda guilty when i left, cos i felt like a kinda stole it. I paid 1200 bucks for it, its got 30k on the till, but has had a complete top end rebuild. And since the bottom end has those AWESOME zook roller bearing crank in it, and it snicks...
