Hi all! First off, thanks for all those who helped me identify the Gary Wolf Racing exhaust on my father-in-law's '79 CB750F. (* TL/DR at the bottom) Now that riding season is fast approaching, FIL and I have been talking and it's been decided that I'm going to be giving him the OEM 4-4...

Hi all, Long story short, I bought a parts bike to fix my father-in-law's CB750. I didn't need any parts off of it, so I started tinkering and now I (almost) have a runner! A coworker put new bars of his Aprilia sxv450 right before he sold it and bought a R6 and offered me his old bars. As we...

Hi kids, So I've been looking for awhile for a new base for the rear left turn signal for my father-in-law's '79 CB750F: I crashed it while riding back in June, bending the handle bar (fixed with a donated part from a friend) and breaking the left rear signal off. I replaced the signal, but...

Hi friends, it's been awhile! My Tempter project has foundered recently (apparently having a baby significantly reduces project bike time...) But I'm in luck! I've recently inherited this '79 CB750F from my father-in-law to bum around on. My question is this: can anyone identify the exhaust on...

Picked up a set of 4 VM30 carbs for a good deal yesterday. Wondering though, will these be too small for my Tempter? I can always part with the carbs for a profit, but would rather use them. Is a VM30 going to be too small for my 650 Twin?

Good day all. Bit of an odd question for you electrical geniuses out there. It's come to my attention that to get my Tempter running (sorry for not updating, time to post pics is scarce these days), I'm going to need some new coils. Now, I've been fixing cars for about 10 years and I don't think...

Hi all! I figured, in celebration of my 100th post, Id actually start the build thread of the bike I've had for almost a year now. A bit of history (of the project, not the Tempter - Big Rich has covered that one! ;)) So, about 5 or 6 years ago, my girlfriend and I were on a walk. she asked...

Hi all Down in GA for business, going home tomorrow. Plannng on leaving around 1pm, just wondering if there's any good cycle graveyards in the area I might be able to check out before I go...

So, here's the deal. Took my wheels off and apart. Catalogged what pieces came from where and sent the wheels to be powder coated. Put my tires back on and reinstalled the bearings, spacers, cushions/sprocket and brake as they came off. Everything looked good... Until I tried to install my...

Good morning to the wonderful world of DTT. At a dilemma with my build; I have an opportunity to buy a S&S Super B carb to replace the pair of stock Mikini BS36 carbs on my 84 Suzuki Tempter project. Asking price is $60. While I have no issues with fabbing up a one-to-two manifoldfor my little...

Hi all, Anybody know if an old leather jacket will stand up to the rigors of being as motorcycle seat? I found an old Danier leather jacket at my local thrift shop, too small and tattered to wear, but the colour is perfect for the scheme I'm thinking of for my GR. Wifey dear says it wont hold...

Greetings all! I'd like to put an oil cooler on my bike, 1984 GR650. No major troubles with overheating (that I know of; I've yet to put it on the road), I just like the ideas of better cooling, higher oil capacity and better longevity that a cooler will provide. I have a couple spare oil...

Wasn't sure where to put this, but ignition coils are electrical items, so... I think one of the coild on my GR is starting to die a bit. While I can get a used one at my local bike wreckers, I'd prefer to go with a new one. Also, with the exobitant prices I expect to pay for new, I'm wondering...

Good day and well met all! Name's Cookie (Online and in person) Hailing from Kitchener, Ontario. Just putting up a "hello world" New to cafe/motorcycle scene, first ever bike is a GR650 that I got in trade for a stagnant Studebaker custom project I had. I like the bike and - unlike my Stude -...
