Well, there comes a time when you just have to throw in the towel and call it quits on a project. This thing has been sitting for a while now, and I just have to realize that I’m not going to finish it. Life just doesn’t have enough time for a rebuild of this size, so I’m unloading everything...

Ok, so I was sitting here watching TV, and the wife looks over at me and says “Are Yamaha’s good bikes?” Cue my interest! Guy was selling a complete 82 XJ750 Seca 3 miles away. Price was 300 OBO, so I went and took a look. First thing I noticed, no battery. Ok, so he hooked it up to his TL1000...

Well, it's been 3 years since I had my 750 and the wife could tell I was going to be jonesin bad this year. So, thorugh some careful financial planning on her part, she presented me the option of grabbing a running bike on the cheap so I could ride while building the TX. Cue rabid scouring of...

OK, so I got a TX500. One of the lobes has some scoring/deep scratches on it. A new cam is $150, a regrind is $130, a used cam is $25, and would probably need to be reground. I paid $300 for the entire bike. So, I need some real world opinions. I have no doubt that I will replace the cams...

Got this old air compressor for the great price of FREE from one of my wife's work colleagues. We had house-sit for him and his wife for a few weeks and he's also a fellow rider (V-Strom 1000). So when he bought a new compressor, he called me up and asked if I wanted this one. He didn't even...

So, long story short. I've been waiting 2 years now to get another bike. This past weekend, the wife asked me if I'd seen anything on CL that piqued my interest. After looking at a few projects here and there, I zeroed in on this little TX500 that a guy wanted to get rid of for a very nice...

To any of you awesome people in Florida/Georgia/Alabama. A good friend of mine's daughter ran away or was possibly coerced into leaving from their house in Jacksonville, FL. The car is believed to still be in jax. It's a new style charger, blue with the mopar "M" on the rear window and drivers...

Here's a link to the craigslist ad, it's in Jacksonville, FL just so you know http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/mcy/3605504149.html

Seriously, this is like the least visited section of the entire website. I figured people would be rushing on here to meet people in person that might be living just down the block from them, yet every day when I get on, I'm sorely let down. Kinda makes me turn a frown, and that's not good. Get...

Cruising StumbleUpon and came across this. I won't ever look at an abandoned old barn the same again. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/22aVFa/:1E8t!40UF:OCyWp_HG/dalesdesigns.net/barncars.htm/

Friend of mine has a 76 (?) KZ650 and replacing the coils with new units, question is, do aftermarket coils ground through the frame or do they require a separate ground wire? Not sure if it matters, but they are ACCEL coils.

Hey guys. I'm helping my boss (the one I actually like) fix up his fathers old Honda dream. Its a 1968 ca77 model 305. He needs the petcock for it, and the only ones he sees are like Damn gold on epay. So if any of you have one laying around, or know someone who does, let a brothere know.

Like the title says. Buddy of mine has a 78 kz650 and he needs to set the a/f ratio. He has pods and a 4-1and it has been re jetted. Whats the proper adjustment for this setup? Someone has to know...

The terrain and layout of US Highway 129 is mountainous with multiple sharp curves, many outside the limits of tractor trailer vehicles' maneuverability. Because of this, the driver of the tractor trailer must compensate for the curves by utilizing the lane of oncoming traffic. This action often...

Well, assembly is pretty much done on the Urban Warrior, and I took her out in the neighborhood to test ride. I've got brand new Pirelli Sport Demons on her, balanced and all, but the front end starts "bouncing" slightly up and down around 25-30 mph. Is this just due to the tire being new, does...

Picked up my first leather "armored" motorcycle jacket today. Cycle Gear had some specials going on. Full Face helmet, gloves and armored jacket for less than 280 total. Not a well known name, yet, and only available through Cycle Gear, but wildly endorsed by the girl that works there, who just...

OK, so basic question, what size master cylinder should I be looking at for dual, twin piston brakes from a 82 Nighthawk? 5/8" or 11/16"??

So I totally forgot my new forks were 37mm, and didn't plan for new clip-ons. I will pay you hard earned cash for a pair, OR, I will trade you my 35mm clip-ons for your 37s. I know someone has a pair of these left over from an old project and needs a set of 35s for their current build, right?!

Just wondering if there is any kind of adjustment I can do to the cam chain that connects the cams ONLY in the dohc cb750 engines. There doesn't appear to be any from first glance, but maybe I'm missing something? If not, is it possible to change in a new chain without removing the cams and...

I need 2 floats (solid plastic, non-adjustable type) for the 80-82 CB750 Keihin VB42A carbs. I'm desperate here. I have searched quite literally every motorcycle store website, ebay, craigslist, local classifieds, etc. and have not found a single one. I know someone out there HAS to have a...
