Hey y’all, It’s been several (5?) years since I’ve been seen around here and about that long since I’ve had something on two wheels. I just bought a ‘79 XT500 that’s pretty cherry. I’ll be riding that and plan to run a Vintage 1000 event with it next summer. Any old timers left around here...

Hey all, I'm planning a 7 or 8 day trip from Seattle to San Francisco during the last week of May/first week of June. I'm planning on camping most nights and maybe grabbing a hotel once or twice. I'm working on my route currently and I'm looking for input on any great roads/sights/parks that I...

Well, it finally happened. My wife has been infected with motorcycle fever. She's taking a safety course soon and it's my job to find her first bike. She's short - 5 foot even to be exact, and has never been in control of a motorcycle. I'm looking for something small, easy to handle, cheapish...

I won these in a package deal at a charity auction and they don't work for me. They retail for around $250. These are brand new with the tags. The leather is pretty amazing quality and they're hand made in Illinois. Make me an offer.

I'm looking for an electronic ignition. Specifically one that I can retain the charging system with. Anyone got one?

If I measure voltage at the back of the switch on the always hot wire, I get 0. If I unplug the switch and measure voltage on the same wire, I have 12v. Bad switch? Ideas?

Hey all, I've got two bikes with woodcrafts, and none of the bar end mirrors that go inside the bar fit. Anyone have a recommendation on a mirror that will fit despite the tapered interior?

I've got a build thread but thought I'd post here now that she's done.

What models came stock with a gauge in the bucket? If you know of one, post it up. I'm looking for one for my Thruxton build.

Ran into an interesting issue on my 360 today. A few months ago, I was having a problem with a loss of power/bog combined with an extremely unsteady idle. I replaced the condenser and the issue went away. This week, the bike had similar symptoms with additional backfiring. Turns out, the...

I'm looking to buy my first air compressor for my garage. I'd like to use it for painting, blasting and grinding. I currently mostly build motorcycles but I could see restoring an old truck in the near future. Here is my criteria: Able to paint a motorcycle (car is a bonus), blast parts, grind...

Hey guys, Trying to pick a color for my RD and I'd like to get some suggestions. I've been working on this for a few weeks and just can't decide. Here's what I think so far: No yellow No orange (motofiaccone did an orange RD) No black Probably not green So that leaves: Red - maybe an...

This thread is a place for you to post a link to the best current build threads on the site. Threads should be in progress at the time of posting. If any of you turn this into a bitching and moaning thread, or some sort of pissing match, I will come set your bike on fire. 8)

Well, it's the first bike in the stable that isn't vintage. It rides pretty well though. Already planning mods. Alloy tank, anyone?

Wife said she wants to do a photoshoot with the bike. Didn't even have to ask. 8)

Mysta2 started work on this CB750 and then sold it to a friend. It languished in the friend's garage for a while until I inquired about it. Now I'm the proud owner of a CB750F Supersport. Guess I needed a project after I finish the RD. :D
