I'll have to hunt down a pic of your bike....thanks

thanks for the replies....anybody run those short (17 inchish) reverse cones like Mikesxs/emgo sells? How do those sound??

Hey Mortikan, my bike has the "Early American" vintage plate in Connecticut also. I'm always paranoid about getting pulled over for signals, I switched to short cat eyes which I haven't actually wired up yet, they're on the bike but don't do anything. I was always under the impression that in...

What changes can I expect to need to make if I run open pipes...let's say for starters if I just took the mufflers off and had just my stock headers (78 xs650). Any body switch to opens and been lucky enough for only minor adjustments? Thanks...just curious.

First was the purple Rupp Roadster, then I learned how to ride clutch on a '52 Aguila scooter (twist shift), then I traded a Hutch Trickstar for a 79 Honda XR75, then KX80, then CR125, then KX500, then 78 Husky 390, then 86 Husky 250, then 73 Husky 450, then Harley 883, sold to buy 1200, sold...

love the front end...if it were me I would go with the cafe seat, with a black tail or completely upholstered like a manx pattern seat. I also like your landscaping detail......do kickstarters grow each year or do you have to plant them annually?

oops...after

78xs 650 before. $500 with 10k miles. 750 Tank, ducati knockoff seat and clubmans. Had Dellorto's but those went to my norton, now has 32mm mikuni rounds slavaged from some vintage husky parts I have.

Connecticut went from 19 degrees last week to high 50s and even 60 on Tuesday (I had a mysterious illness that day and couldn't make it to work) I rode my bike that day like I was never going to be able to ride again.....

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!.. Def more expensive nowadays....my first tattoo experience was when I was 17 and had to have one....the artist (very talented) was a 400lb harley guy. My first was on my back so I had this 400 pounder practically laying on me in the dead of summer. I...

I like cafe bikes but can't stomach Elvis or Eddie Cochran, or any rockabilly for that matter, I'd much rather listen to the Who or Yardbirds if I HAD to listen to something old......does this mean I have to add like 30 more mirrors to my bike??

Just about finished covering it but I ran out of rivets.....also have to make some adjustments to the inner corners going into the tail. All in all not too bad for my first stab at it, and the scavenged spare tire cover seems to work well for upholstery!!

hey 666fit, where you at in CT? Im in North Branford and was recently bitching about being the only guy around here with a cafe bike....seat looks cool so far....check out my post (that Im updating as soon as I finish typing this) about my f-glass seat that I'm just about finished covering.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!.. yeah, I guess that would look pretty weird.....

How could this one have not made it on here yet....

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!.. I'm going to get a full body tattoo of myself, except a couple inches taller

What's the scene like dow in Jersey? I'm in CT and I swear Im the only one in this are on a cafe bike and when I'm out and about on it, people look at me like I just laned from another planet or something

Yeah, without re-jetting or resticting the air flow, my carbs were popping like crazy and wouldn't even run under load

I've always wondered about this subject , not only for winterizing but for long term storage. My wife's uncle has a pretty cool assortment of old restored bikes, just sitting in his basement shop, he hasn't started a few of them in years. I would've thought it would be good to run them once in a...

Ok, Ok....Santa, if your watching over this....I need some boots that aren't too stiff or high up the leg, and a new chain.....oh, and some alternator brushes would be cool too
