Hi all, Anyone know the size of the light bulbs + rubber plug for mini gauges, like this one: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-electronic-parts-mini-chrome-speedo-kilometer-speedometer-31-0417.html I have a speedo & tach but...

In your city, is motorcycle parking free? If not, how do you pay for street parking without the ticket blowing away in the wind? Can you park on sidewalks? The reason I'm asking is because the City of Toronto has voted (Nov 30, 2011) to get a report from one of their committees to see the...

Sup DDT crew, I wanted to ask your opinion on your work flow for customizing your ride. Let's assume you're customizing or re-building from the ground up, or you want to go over EVERYTHING. Where would you start? Wheels? Exhaust system / airflow (pod filters?) / jetting / tuning? In what...

I'm driving to Chicago for the September long weekend... any motorcycle related retail suggestions (or any suggestions at all)? Gonna be there September 3-5, 2011. Thanks!!

How often do you guys do the walk of shame? I'm not talkin' bout the girls who sleep with someone and go home the next morning in the same clothes. No... I'm talking about your bike breaking down and being close enough to home to just walk the bike instead of forking up a couple of bucks for...

For some, this may be all in a day's work. For me, extracting a snapped bolt for the very first time from my triple tree made my Sunday, so much that I felt like posting my happiness in here. :D edit: once again, thanks Mr.E. - Noob Wrencher in Training

So I bought this Honda CX500 Deluxe (1980) March 2010 as my first bike. I rode it around the GTA, commuted with it a bit, and otherwise got comfortable, and now it being a year later I want to put in some more serious work into it. *Disclaimer: I know f@$^ all about motorcycles (& cars)...

Newbie question here... I know how to winterize a motorbike, and I'm not asking any details on how to do it for a normal bike... but what about your project bikes (more importantly for my cx500d)? Surely you don't fill up your gas tank with gas & stab only to take it off and maybe paint it or...

Hello, 1) I have a 1980 Honda CX500D that currently has straight pipes (no mufflers), and I also have some harley sportster mufflers that I would like to put on. I do not have the HBox that was originally on the bike, nor do I have the exhaust system to attach to the headers (? not sure if...

Hello, My name's Mike & I'm a newbie from Toronto (B-Town as well temporarily). Picked up my first motorbike, a 1980 Honda CX500D which is as old as me. It's in rough shape but this winter I'm hoping to tear it down, fix it, polish it, paint it, tweak it, change it, rip it off, and then put...
