First off, I'd like to re-introduce myself to the forum as it's been several years since I've posted or owned any projects. Name's Brent and I live here in good 'ol North Florida (Jacksonville). About a year ago I aquired a 1974 CB750K from a friend of mine. It was in really bad shape, didn't...

So we (Iron Promotions) haven't had an event since last November's "Skate Fast Ride Faster" and we've had this one in the works for a few months now. It's finally time to tell the masses. On Wednesday May 4th we are putting together a motorcycle inspired art show, where local artist will have...

Skate Fast // Ride Faster Iron Promotions is at it again! We are taking the North Florida motorcycle and car show scene to the next level. On November 12th, 13th and 14th we are teaming up with the legendary KONA Skatepark to put on Iron’s biggest event yet. This time around one day simply is...

Alright everyone, as promised I'm throwing another event here in Jacksonville! The date is August 6th, it's fairly short notice but a lot more effort has gone into this one and has taken more time to finalize. Here are the details (I'll add to them as more comes in)... "Wolfgang Oil Mixer"...

~ River City Kickstart ~ Kicking off summer the right way. Tune your carbs and grease your chains. Wednesday, June 2nd we are having the motorcycle event of the summer here in Jacksonville, FL. Bring out your garage built hardtails, bobbers, rats and customs. Show Jacksonville what riding on...

I was going to post this at the end of my other post but I figured only East Coast members would scan that section of the forum, so I'm putting it here for everyone to see... enjoy! http://s395.photobucket.com/albums/pp35/904cafe/Vintage%20Show%2009/

Note last reply for most up to date problems (haha): So I have the CB200 running again... and fairly well for the most part. It does however run pretty rich at low RPM/Idle which doen't make sense because it has straight pipes and UNI filters on it. I have yet to really perfect the idle...

I found this on Church of Choppers blog. For those who havn't, check it out! http://churchofchoppers.blogspot.com

Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it this year (figures because the bike is running). I have to work that day and I can't seem to find someone to take my shift. But for those of you who do have off work, Saturday May 16th is "Riding Into History" @ World Golf Village just...

The starter button on my CB200 broke a while back and I had a momentary switch from Radio Shack on ther but that seemed to fail fairly quickly. So now instead of pooring more time into saudering another cheap switch, I'm looking for an original. Im almost certain a CB175 one will work but a...

Alright guys, as I'm sure most of you know this was my first bike, my first motor build, my first carb overhaul EVER! I was having issues with the spark (constant power to the points). But now I have that squared away... I now have a nice strong Dyna coil, new condenser and new point breaker...

Alright guys, I hate to admit this... I was 90% sure the reason I wasn't getting spark was my coil, sooo... I bought a nice Dyna coil and fabbed up some wires withe some nice NGK plug caps etc etc. Mounted it, wired it up... and BAM still NO SPARK! This whole time it's been something else...

Have a few questions for those who have aftermarket coils and wires. Never really messed with making wires until now, so I have a few questions. Question number one... Can I mount the Dyna coil I purchased any which way? Upside down for instance? I assume so, I'm just checking. The only way it...

Ok guys, time to work on the cosmetics a bit more... I want to shorten my rear fender up a bit... there are two methods I can think of. One is cutting the fender shorter, Two is simply sliding it up more (however this would require custom mounting). I was going to just try and cut the fender...

Hey guys. So I went to crank up the bike this weekend and all it will do is turn over, no spark. Let me go ahead and say I HATE electrical. I'm guessing ( and I emphasize "guessing" ) that if it's cranking and I'm not getting spark to the plugs it's more than likely my coils? How do I test to...

They seem like they have a really cool thing going, just a bunch of young guys who have a pretty well organized shop going for them. Seems reall cool. I would love to start something like this... http://www.twinlinemotorcycles.com/ Also, check out their blog and their finished Black&Gold...

My buddy just bought a '66 Triumph Bonneville from a guy in Daytona and I am honeslty clueless when it comes to Triumph's but he has asked me for help... Where online can he find gasket sets, oil seals, side case gaskets (maintenance parts) for this bike. Im a Honda guy so I have no clue. Maybe...

Alright Honda Twin guys, I need a picture of your exhaust where it meets the head. The whole flange assembly and everything intact. Im gonna try a little something to make my CL175 exhaust fit better on my CB200 but need some pictures of some Honda's with exhausts properly installed. Can be a...

alright guys, I ran into a problem this weekend with my front tire. i purchased a 100-90-18 for my front tire on my cb200. big i know, but I have a 110-90-18 on the back. my problem... it fits between the forks, but barely (and without the fender). how close to the forks is unsafe? it clears...

I figured since we have this section of the forum now, it would only be natural to have a thread devoted to our cars. It should be interesting seeing who has what cars and how they relate to our choice of motorcycles! Me... I stick with Honda through and through. This is my 94 Honda Prelude...
