Just helping a brother out. If you see it call the cops.

Hey guys, I've seen a lot of good advice and methods for seat pan fabrication here but not so much when it comes to foam. I guess for the generic CB stuff it's pretty easy to just put a flat piece of foam on it and get it upholtered with a roll-tuck however I'm attempting something a little...

hey folks, Any of our painting experts got any advice on what rattle-can paint to use on forks. Clearly it doesn't need to be high-heat but wondering if there is something that will stand-up to stones and road-kill better. R./

Looking for some winter gloves under $100. Anyone got any recommendations?

I'm trying to find some dual sport tires for my XJ650 and having no luck. Does anyone know of a set that would match the following specs: Front: 100/90-19 Rear: 130/90-16 The biggest issue appears to be the 16in rear wheel. The only tire I can find is a Bridgestone TW40 TrailWing. Have to...

1995 R100R or K75S? As a touring bike to keep stock with full luggage and fairing which one would you go for from a 100% pragmatic engineering perspective. Looks wise a prefer the R100R but I'm reading good things about the K75S, work-horse, low maintenance, reliable, 100,000 miles etc etc. ...

Hey so I've been living in the good old US-of-A for a while now (if you count Texas) but I've still yet to figure this out. As we all know it's legal to turn right on RED over here unless otherwise posted... however does anyone know if it's legal to turn left on RED if the road you're turning...

I like this - the engineering here is top notch and it will become a reality. Braking seems to be the concern I would have. Just not sure how they'll get past the legal stuff but it will get sorted out somehow I guess. Donate to the project and you'll be in a draw to win a prototype...

Hey I was thinking it might be nice to put a calendar together for 2015 for all the BOTM winners from the last year? What do y'all think, has this been tried before. I could certainly help put something together and make it available online somewhere at cost or for a small profit for the site.

Not mine - just came across them on CL... what do you think the 750's worth? http://baltimore.craigslist.org/mcy/4540441688.html

If anyone in NOVA or Maryland area has a cheap old jack I'd be very interested. I just need something that works and is trust-worthy other than than I don't really care. So long as it will get the bike high enough to drop the forks.

Anyone effectively plastic dipped their exhaust? I'm wondering 2 things - will it standup to head on the cans and the header? will it stick to chrome just like paint? I've done some googling and youtubing but can't find any 100% answers - seen people doing it but no real long term evidence...

Hi folks, I've got my tank to a place where the paints ready for clear but I want to add some detail - not sure about the design just yet but I know I want some lettering and maybe couple of thin stripes. Anyone provide any advise on the best way to do this. Is is just a case of stenciling...

Hey folks I ended up using rustoleum, as much as I was skeptical about it, for my first stab at painting a tank. The tank paint was done very poorly by the PO and damaged anyway and this was a good beta run for me as this isn't the final tank for the build - that is unless it turns out great and...

Seems like this XJ650 is nothing but electrical woes of late... I have an issue now whereby the headlight and the backlighting for the speedo and Tach randomly go out on me... I'll be riding along all happy then boom - darkness - it's a good job the force is strong in me. Anyway, I can't...
