I walked through the cycle salvage a couple of months ago and spotted what i thought was a KZ750 sitting out back... so a few days ago I sent Dennis down to get it -- Turns out it's a KZ1000 so I'll probably just give it brakes, fluids and a chain and sell it to someone who wants to do the...

This is more of a "During" - I just got her back up and running today.. I figure what better way to make a bike meet the "racer" criteria than to bring a real race bike to street legal..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_ywy8-gqIs

Not so recent a purchase but since the title just finally cleared... How about Fast Fred French's old AMA Cup Race Bike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh7Ex2rJV_M

How about an $800 1973 SL350?... Had it running the first day and almost done now (less than a week) - beats paying the 3700 dolla book value for a boring museum piece -- I still haven't decided if I'm keeping it or finding one that was ordered with the steering stabilizer though (fork tree on...

Every time I get the itch for a modern bike I end out spending wayyy more than it's worth CBR1300 engine stuffed in a CBR1000 frame and made to appear relatively stock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePefDbwil1M

Tell ya what... You find someone willing to put in the time to edit all the pieces together -- I got about 15,000 hours of stuff that hasn't made my youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/dawino6260 ) or PBS .. Send someone by to do the editing What you are asking for is not hard - just incredibly...

Hell all my race harnesses have been aftermarket for years......

My latest - I got the Sankei exhaust for this one off ebay for 25 bucks + 11 shipping - Seat was 15 off of Craigslist for 50 bucks -- Lets seeee....... It only took me 20 years to get around to looking for the parts for her - Had her together in a week once I started looking around...

I waited till after it sold so no-one can say I'm trying to sell it -- I bought this bike with a BUNCH of aftermarket chrome on it which went onto one of mine - Popped all my boring stock stuff on this one and sold it for what I paid to begin with - Former owner thought it needed an ignition box...

The West stuff makes for a lot more durable, longer lasting tank... Nice work

So I picked up an old Honda Rebel and decided to play at making a sand road bike to plink around on... But that teeny tank they come with just wasn't enough... So I rednecked on a 3+ gallon Hardley Abelson tank First video shows the finished bike - second shows how to redneck it on quick so you...

All I can say is:... That's gonna make my 73 GT750 worth more quick if Audi really buys em... But based on the fact that it was Porsche (also part of Audi along with Volkswagen) who designed the Hardley Abelson Evo's and that P.O.S. V-ROD engine in my collection... Yeah ... Audi sticking their...

One that I just finished -after letting it sit a couple of years- Not a cafe - but hopefully since this is a tank thread ya'all wont mind ....... Now go home and practice this (LOL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HFPtbjlM38
