Going to be helping a friend replace the top end gaskets in his new GS850. I have more experience than him but that isn't saying much. we'll both be doing/learning this for the first time. So what should I be looking at/watching out for while I have it apart. I found a manual for free online...

Hey guys I know my new bike isn't a cafe racer and this will be my only post about it on here but you guys are incredibly helpful and want y'all's expertise. So I have an 02 Honda shadow 750. That I picked up for 500.00. The catch is it needed some work including fixing an oil leak in the...

Have a pile of CB400T parts that won't be going back on my bike and just wanted to see if there was any interest. If there is I'll get pics and a complete list. I've got the airbox, megaphone exhaust, brake reservoir, headlight ears, some stock turn signals, and several other things like a...

Hi all, I'm looking into swapping out my forks for something a little better and a little more modern. I know my bike won't transform into some awesome bike with a fork conversion but hey its my bike and this is the direction I'm going in. Not worried about selling it or who gives a poop what...

Looking for pictures of cb750 bikes that have disc brakes. Also looking for measurements of the swingarm bolt both width and thickness and how long the swingarm is from the pivot bolt to the axle. Need measurements on the axle size length and diameter. I'm willing to do a little modification but...

Hi all I have a pile of parts that won't be going back on my bike EVER and would like to convert them into legal tender. $$$ I'll have to go out there to the shop with a notepad in a minute and get a list and prices of everything I've got for sale. Might be interested in trading for some exhaust...

Hi all, I've got a 80' cb400t that I'm putting pod filters on and a custom 2-1 header. I'm wondering where to find the right kind of main jet and needles for it. I don't want to buy the 120.00 mechanic's jet kit. just need 3 or 4 to mess with. Thanks.

Was wondering if any of the members on here have experience rewinding stators and would be willing to take mine on. I've got a 1980 CB400T would like a bit more amperage which if I'm thinking correctly would mean larger wire with less turns? wouldn't mind doing mine if I could get enough help...

1980 CB400T Replaced stator, and cdi.....tested a new coil and still no spark. any ideas where I might look. just stopped working one day. I was wiring up a toggle switch and the wires came undone while the bike was running. (stupid yes I'm aware) and now I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Wasn't sure where to put this. Y'all don't have a suspension sub-forum. I would like to put some beefier forks up front or if I could find the right deal some inverted cartridge style forks. I have a buddy with a lather and mill and I can weld and fabricate. So that's not an issue but I would...

Hey guys took off my fried stator today and theres a few drops on the recess of the block near the crankshaft. is this normal or cause for concern? Also looking for pod filters in the 54mm size or 2 1/8" I know K&N are great but what else is out there? are the 5.00 ebay pods any good?

Wanting to swap out my swingarm, drum brake, wheel, and stupid brake rod for a cb750 comstar wheel with disc brake and caliper with reservoir and swingarm so I can also upgrade my shocks too.

Was looking for magnet wire online to try my hand at rewinding this stator as a rewound one from rick's is 250(using mine as a core) any websites I should check out or any links to other how-to's. Or maybe one of you out there wants to do it? haha. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On here again looking for inspiration, information, and ideas. I've got some ideas already and would love some .02 I've got a 1980 CB400T that looked decent albeit plain when I got it 2 years ago. I raced it like I had something to prove and blew alot of seals in the engine. My question here...

My baby needs new gaskets and seals and was thinking of rebuilding the insides while I've got her torn apart. Was wondering what y'all would suggest to clean, replace, rebuild. Never taken apart an engine and don't have a lot of tools. Is this over my head? Any advice or suggestions would be...

Is it worthwhile or reasonable to mount a disc up to the rear of my '80 CB400T and then manufacture a bracket to mount a caliper and run the hydraulics to a rearset and reservoir already set up for it. Would this be a significant gain in stopping power or just a cool one-off addition??
