    PORTLAND MAINE UPHOLSTERER?

    Hi everyone, Finally looks like we're done with this awful winter and I can get the bike back on the road. I've got a 550F with a custom cafe seat on it that came with the bike when I bought it. It's a great look but I'd like to have something that I can fit a passenger on. What the...

    CB550F tail light issues now bike won't start.

    Hey guys. I've been reading through a bunch of threads and trying to wrap my brain around it all. I feel like I'm flunking. Started having an issues with my tail light staying lit (got pulled over for it). When I turned the bike to on the tail light wouldn't light up but the brake light...

    How-To: Install Old School Speed's CB360T Rear-Sets

    Thanks for the walk through. I'm thinking about doing this eventually with my bike. Haven't put clubmans on because I was worried about the body position with the stock footpegs.

    Man this was a tough one. Went back and forth a bunch. Good luck to all three bikes. Everyone should be really proud.

    "Cafe Racer" such a loose term! Craigslist "Gem" of the week!

    That bike's got a badonkadonk.

    Yeesh. I think I like the Ruckus better. The plaid is a nice touch though.

    Stupid Newbie Cracks His 550 Oil Pan

    Awesome. I have a lot of experience working with bicycles and never used a torque wrench until I bought one for this bike. Sometimes it's better to just go with your gut I guess. Thanks for the help!

    Stupid Newbie Cracks His 550 Oil Pan

    Grabbed a pan on EBay for $15 and a new crush washer and gasket from bike bandits. Hopefully I'll be able to get it done this weekend. Definitely will make sure all my bolts are out. How much torque do you guys suggest?

    Stupid Newbie Cracks His 550 Oil Pan

    Yeah I'm pretty sure that was my problem. Looks like the previous owner lost it the last time the oil was changed. Same for the oil filter. Well now I will always remember to put a crush washer on. Damn.

    Stupid Newbie Cracks His 550 Oil Pan

    Bought my first bike this winter, a 1977 CB550F. Finally got my motorcycle license and before I ride I decide to change the oil. No problem everything looks good and I take it for its first ride. Today I notice some leakage from the crankcase drain plug. The bolt must need a little more...

    TORC HELMETS WOW

    Just got mine in the mail the other day and really impressed with the quality. The liner is awesome and I think I'll be pretty happy I can remove it and wash it once it starts getting hot outside (I'm up in Maine so its still 50degrees half the time) Mine doesn't have any speakers, but there...

    On Any Sunday.....again and again....

    On Any Sunday is just awesome and I watch it when I'm way too hungover to ride. How about Mad Max (Kawasaki K-1000) and The Great Escape (Triumph TR6 Trophy)? Can't really go wrong with any of these.

    Face Shields for 3/4 Helmets

    Hi. I'm looking into buying a face shield for my 3/4 Helmet (Torque Route 66) and was wondering if anyone had any advice/experience with them. Looking at the Bell 3 Snap ones with amber gradient. But I'd be interested to hear about anyones that people liked/hated whatever. Thanks.

    Would like some opinions on a CB450 found in New Jersey

    Looks like a nice bike, but I think 4500 is way too high even with the mods he's made. I think you could talk him down a lot. If he's set on his price, there are plenty of other bikes out there.

    Hello from Chengdu, China

    Going to jump on your post and say welcome to the board. Spent 2 months backpacking around China. Chengdu was definitely one of my favorite cities. Awesome people and great food. Mail order might be your best bet. Not sure what the shipping to China is. Might have some luck finding some...
