    Yamaha Geeks Please: I have some swap questions.

    WOOT! Okay, I can perform a fairly simple swap, so take notes if you're interested. 82-83 XS-400 'Maxim' Triple Tree 78-81 SR-500 Fork tubes Still unsure of the wheel size (need to check) I hope I get to keep my tires... seriously, I just bought them and they only have about 4 miles of gentle...

    Yamaha Geeks Please: I have some swap questions.

    Yo, I'm finishing the build on my 1980 SR250 Thumper. But I'm not keen on my front end, brakes, or wheels. The drum brakes feel dangerously weak (even though the shoes are brand new) so I want a disc up front. This means I need new forks and wheels, but I want to keep the tires I just bought...

    FS: 1974 Yamaha RD400f Daytona Special

    As the title suggests, I'm selling my RD400 Daytona. I have some bills and projects that I need to take care of, and I almost never ride it. She needs to have a couple little things sorted out (tiniest amount of wiring, fresh gas, and needs new tires) This bike is all original and unrestored and...

    1964 Benelli/Yamaha Hybrid Build.

    36cc A cute little engine, but I have some serious thrill issues, so I went for something 7 times bigger and faster ;)

    1964 Benelli/Yamaha Hybrid Build.

    I love me some gravity bikes... especially when I'm going faster than the cars. I can only imagine the look on the drivers face when he gets overtaken by a bicycle going 60+

    1964 Benelli/Yamaha Hybrid Build.

    Been a while since I was in Stockton, so I'm having the Benelli delivered to my house so I can actually work on it. I bought new forks, headlight, seat, handlebars, grips, and wheels. I can get back to building this little motor-psycho.

    My Latest Cafe Racer Build: 1980 Yamaha SR 250

    Well, it finally stopped raining, so I can start working on my bike again. I bought a whole bunch of stuff for it (bars, levers, perches, speedo, tires, tach, fork seals, tank, grips mirrors, etc.) I need to get some rearsets and fabricate some mounts, and I'll be close to being to finished...

    WTB an early 80's GS450 Tank.

    Hey. I need one of these Used is best, decent condition, reasonable price. Rust on the inside isn't a problem (not rotted out though) PM me with what you have, or post pics and such here. Thanx

    My Latest Cafe Racer Build: 1980 Yamaha SR 250

    I agree. I like longer boxy tanks, they make an ordinarily tame bike look like a pissed off hornet... That steep rise of the tank off the front of the seat just sells it for me.

    My Latest Cafe Racer Build: 1980 Yamaha SR 250

    I agree with the gs1100 tank being HUGE, and I'm really liking that rd350 tank... and the xs360 looks pretty sweet as well. Thanx for the suggestions.

    My Latest Cafe Racer Build: 1980 Yamaha SR 250

    YES! I can finally start working on this bike again! I ordered some new handlebars, bar end mirrors, new grips, and some odds and ends I need to get it running. I just need to build a seat, get a tank, fabricate the rearsets, pour some gas in it, and I'm off (then I need to tear it all apart and...

    1964 Benelli/Yamaha Hybrid Build.

    The exhaust IS going under the frame, but I need to have access to the mounting hardware. So, I need to make the frame a little longer (nothing I haven't done before) and I have to make all new engine mounts... Just chill, it'll be awesome.
