    The Volkswagen Thread

    Turned out, I didn't know my ass from a hole in the ground about the beetle I bought, IT IS a 1965 beetle, 68 pan, but the front suspension was cut off the 68 pan, and the 65 link pin suspension was welded on... crooked... so it is a butchered little beetle. beneath the surface of 1/4-1/2 inch...

    The Volkswagen Thread

    I'll jump in on this, brought it home last night, 68 with 65 fenders and lights. $900 seemed reasonable enough.

    My addiction.. old iron

    So I just noticed this section. Thought I would share some of my projects, and money pits. First one was a 1963 Impala I drug out of a field a few years ago, got running the same day. First pic was first drive to the gas station after some tires, and a new alternator and battery. I later...

    Another crack at making a DOHC "cool"

    I like this, so far the best looking frame mod I have seen on a DOHC(a side from the full revamp designs switching to mono shock), makes it a lot cleaner.

    1982 CB750C Cafe Build

    Following. I am doing something similar with an 82 750c as well, currently it is running and riding just fine in stock form so I am still in the planning stage, and accumulating parts. But your build is looking good so far! Keep it up and post some more updates soon.

    My 1981 Honda CB750 Custom

    Ok, I see after looking at the pics a little closer. I assume you're still running mechanical rear brake? I guess I was thrown off from JRod-10's picture, I saw the custom swing arm and hydraulic rear brake. Any way its looking good, seems really close to the stock exhaust, I think I read you...

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

    School? What the heck is that???? And visualization? Are you wanting to see my old beater bike? I'll have to get some current pictures later. Nothing on my work computer. And $6500 is crazy, I got my bike for the low price of FREE. With a title and rode it home!

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

    My first thought was the pipes are ridiculous, and the tires are just for looks, I would rather have it grip the road over look vintage. The lowered rake and seat though would not have occurred to me. And my bike isn't going to remain stock, the bars have been changed before and the tank has...

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

    You know what? This is exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you. I consider myself anything but a hipster. I may only be 27, but I have been building cars for as long as I can remember. I have a 1940 chevy lead sled custom right now. I have had bikes but never built one the way I wanted...

    My 1981 Honda CB750 Custom

    Those rear sets look nice, I've got an '82 750 custom, decent ride right now, but planning a bit of a transformation. Maybe I missed it, but where did you get the rear sets? and what did it take to mount them? Did you use the stock rear peg mount? Do you have a better side shot of the bike with...

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

    This may open a can of worms, and I apologize for asking a dumb question. But I have to ask, if someone could clarify for me, why is this a dangerous ride? Or what exactly is wrong with this? To me it "looks good" but I know looks are not everything. I am currently riding a nearly bone stock...

    Aussie 1982 CB750 DOHC - First Build

    I would like to see how that little battery does, I have heard the dohc is a bit of a pig to start, so that's why it had such a huge battery. I am looking for a smaller one to run in it that can be mounted under the tail on its side or something

    What did you build this week?

    didn't exactly build these, but more or less rebuilt them, the Philips sign isn't actually that bright, it only has a 25w bulb but the crappy phone pic made appear brighter, it just sat around for 3-4 years in my storage I restored and rewired it and finally got to mount it since we bought our...
