So, painting a full set of plastic fairings on my 84 gs750ef. Did a LOT of prep work over the winter, so that is not an issue. However, when I finally got the shop warm enough, I put some clear plastic sheets, set up a decent fan (sucking air out of the "booth") and bought paint. The plan is...

First of all, a shout out to Tim who suggested this to me. Desjardins is a great place for bike insurance. I have, among many other heaps of trash, a semi-restored Suzuki gs750ef '84. Nice bike, fast as, and fun to ride. The guy on the phone quoted me $400 for the year for basic coverage...

So I have a new friend. He loves strokers. He has 12 of them. Suzuki's (RGVs), Yamahas (RZs, RDs, TZRs)... and he will sell me 2 identical '85 RZ350Rs (not assembled but all parts there) and a '90 RZ350 (complete but fairings off) for about 5K. Good deal? He is a restorer of these bikes and...

As I have a ton of project bikes on the go, none of which are running, I mentioned to my wife that I really wanted to find a running bike that I could just drive while completing on of the café projects. Strange... she said she didn't realize café bikes were supposed to be complete or to...

Hey all. Thought a few of you might like to chime in and add to my post. If I could only have one custom, NON-PRODUCTION bike, so no stock dukes or H2s etc.... I would have this one. I am totally in love with this motorcycle (it doesn't hurt that it is at heart a GS1000!) Suzuki rocks. The...

http://motorcyclespringshow.com/ Should be a good show with lots of new and used bikes and parts etc. I have never been but looking forward to it this year. Anyone going?

Greetings Gents and Ladies. Been a while since I posted, but I am always lurking about around this forum. Found this bike and looking for some advice. NOS Honda parts not cheap and this needs plenty of them to restore... so thinking about a Modded instead of Restoration. Any thoughts...

Hello. I am looking for a CX500 tank... similar to the one below. Please PM me or post here if you have one available. I think the one here is circa 1980 and I am not sure when the style changed or what years looked like the tank below. Thanks.

Hey. Need help...I like this tank.... anyone know what bike it originates from? Thanks.

Greetings! Long story short, wife is Japanese, I lived in Tokyo area for 6 years, her dad passed away so I hopped next available flight and am here for three weeks. Anyone know where I can find any of the big Cafe/Custom bike shops? By the way... I will post any pictures of cool bikes I see...

I was just drinking too much gin and wondering whether there are any other lawyers here at DTT. We all know lawyers are dicks.... but.... I would enjoy shooting the sh$t once in a while with lawyers from other jurisdictions. HR. I am in Ontario (so Law Society of Upper Canada...LSUC)...

Greetings. I have been doing some searching... and two things. 1. Suzuki is under-represented on DTT. 2. There seems a growing number of GS's being turned to Café Racers. I have a GS that I have started building. Let's accumulate knowledge! (I know, I know.... we will never be able to...

Greetings! I really need to find out where I can source some much needed parts for my current (and future) builds... east of Toronto. Can anyone help me? I am looking for various parts that I would rather not pay stupid amounts of shipping on to get to me from Stateside. Any cycle salvage...

Hey. I am from the Toronto-ish area. I am looking for ANY tanks for my café projects. I need two tanks and don't care what type they are as long as they are a traditional style café tank. I like Benelli, Norton, Enfield ... anything. Will come and pick them up if anyone has anything for sale...

Greetings. This is my other bike under construction (the other one is the GS750 "Fawkes") This is a bike I picked up for peanuts as the guy was selling it for parts.. I scooped it up before he had sold more than a few superficial pieces... tank, seat, rear fender. The engine is intact and...

Greetings everyone. So this is the beginning of my GS750 "E" build (1978). I inherited the bike from my dad via my younger brother who didn't have time for it after he fell in love with a VW Karmann Ghia restoration project. So I picked it up and will see what I can do with it. Because I am...

Hey. I hail from Belleville Ontario. New to DTT but been reading and researching for quite a while. Have two projects in the wings. One is more immediate... its a 78 GS750 Suzuki. Looking to build a brat/café bike. The other is a 83 XV750 Yamaha and looking to build something similar to Doc...

I have been seeing a lot of Binelli tanks on eBay that are made in and shipped from India. I expect they are repros but that is fine as long as they share the original specs. Has anyone bought and used one? I tried to search for the answer to this question but didn't get anything relevant...
