I converted my street bike to track only and as such do not need the pretty bits anymore.
Lux grips - $80
Bar ends - $30
Axle caps - $20 One tiny scuff on the bottom of one of them, see pic.
I am helping a local guy get his DOHC4 1980 CB750K up and running and have come across an issue I can't figure out.
A little back story. The guy bought it off of CL after being told it only needed a hundred bucks or so to get street worthy. I have found so much wrong it is laughable...
Replacement electronic ignition shipped today and should be by the end of the week. Should be here by the end of the week so hopefully I can get it installed, set, and running by this weekend.
I need to figure out something to do with my garage though. I have a 1980 CB750 in there that I am...
Ordered some rebuild kits for the carbs to hopefully fix my running issues. I went with all new brass pieces vice just cleaning the old stuff and replacing the o-rings like I did previously. Get everything back together and the bike wouldn't fire up. I had zero spark on both cylinders. So I...
Jets R Us does have pretty good descriptions. I have the oem part numbers for the primary man jets so I might swing by my dealership today on the way home and see what they have.
I was just about to reply to your PM. I did find Jets R Us has #68 (stock) as well as a #65. Although I worry about running lean if I were to fit the #65.
Yes I re-used the Keihin jets. They looked to be in good shape, but I didn't measure the holes. The emulsion tubes were all clogged, which is what I used the violin wire on. I find it odd that all of the kits come with #70 primary jet when #68 was stock. I am having a hard time even finding...
So the story with the Miata...the week before I went there a local kid was more than likely going too fast and lost control of his car at 10:30 at night. Bounced from the ditch across the road and off the side of the mountain into a tree. He along with his passenger were killed. Tragic for...
I didn't fit K&N's. I used new stock (from David Silver Spares) air filters.
Any suggestions on what to look for/check? I cleaned the carbs with spray carb cleaner (did not dunk them) and watched it shoot out through the holes in the carb. Ran some violin string through the emulsion tubes...
So I took the bike (72 CB350) I just finished building for my daughter to Deals Gap (Tail of the Dragon) last week. I am up for photo of the week. The voting is tight so I need all the help I can get. All you have to do is follow the link, scroll down to my photo, and click the like button...
Well if the community wants to vote for something I was nominated for photo of the week at Deals Gap and I need your help and votes to win. All you have to do is click the like button. You can vote using every device you have. I am the 7th photo down on the right (black leathers on a light green...
Well I am back from my trip to the mountains. I would like to report that the bike ran great, but that just wasn't the case. The mid range was horrible. It would spit and sputter like it wasn't getting fuel. Not sure at what RPM level it would start, but it would run crappy up to 7,000 rpm...
I was thinking about using some soap and water with a scotch brite pad and give the tires a good scrubbing. I think you might be on to something with the temps. It was fairly cool yesterday. Although, the more I think about it I never checked or changed the air pressure after I had the tires...
Nothing has touched the tires except the ground. These have not felt like any of the other sets of Road Riders I have used. Unfortunately, the weather doesn't seem to want to cooperate to get some miles on the bike before I head to the mountains this Saturday. Hopefully, in the one or two...
No names that I know of yet, but knowing my daughter she will have one in short order.
Managed to get everything mounted today. It did not go super smoothly though. First I snapped a bolt in the lower triple. Then when trying to remove it the easy out broke. So I had to find a new place to...
PJ...The comstars are from a 78 400. I checked the rivets when I cleaned and polished the lips and they were free of any corrosion and were tight.
I know it was a douchey move to post that, but I did it today at work and I couldn't get a pic last night since it was pouring outside and there...
Got the color issue fixed easily on the registration. The powder coater finally replied to my multiple, texts and phone messages. He is supposed to coat the brake rod today so I can pick it up tomorrow, but I have heard that story before so I am not holding my breath. Also talked with my...
Thanks and I can't wait to get it all put together. I love the Winged Victory. It is simple, classic, and has some sex appeal to it.
Plates came in the mail Saturday, but noticed on the registration they put the color as red when I typed sage. I guess I will be making a trip to the DMV...
