At your height and weight a CB550 is far from what you need to freeway pass and two lane passing. It's a great starting bike, but it is old. Parts may be an issue, also is it a collector item now. You'd be surprised what people want and will pay for. The average car today can easily top 100mph...

Anyone here ever built a sleeper scooter? Like stuck a 350cc two stroke in one?

I've gone from no helmet to full face carbon, Joe Rocket. In cold weather, with a scarf, it can't be beat. My buddy got in a wreck with is half helmet and scraped off much of his face.

Anyway it has 9.5-1 JE pistons instead of Wossner because of price. Wossner is better though. The fuel rail is 3/8" and the photos show the new 620cc injectors and fuel pressure regulator. Also a 225lph fuel pump is being used.

Kawasaki builds a bullet proof bottom end, then blows it with the cylinders, by combining them with the upper crankcase. Your stuck with factory cylinders and can't use the many billet blocks available to the Busa. Hence for dependable service, the power of the ZX-14 is limited to 7lbs boost if...

It's hard to get a good looking weld with spool. Everything must be perfect, I like to dime tap with tig for a decent bead. Photos?

Does it have an A/C option for welding aluminum?

Most of us have done it, sell a bike your tired of, only to wish you had it back. I see many bikes here that were once in my stable. The 1913 Indian is my regret, what's yours?

[/img] We have a wild bird rescue nest, the other birds will feed one that isn't theirs! PS I voted too.

The GW is a fine bike for some. For me it felt heavy, underpowered, and lacked handling. One was an 82 the other 1986. Around 50k miles, look for a stator problem. It's easy to change, just pull the motor, same for a clutch.

I notice it's kinda rare for bullet bike riders to pack heat. If it were a Harley, most motorists assume you have a gun for some reason.

When it comes to biker types, or English isn't gooder. 1. Avoid Alliteration, Always 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3. Avoid clichés like the plague. They're old hat, and stink like a week old sock. 4. Comparisons are as bad as clichés. 5. Be more or less specific. 6...

The point to be made there is a pecking order. I enjoy stirring the pot wearing my Nazi helmet, black leather jacket on the Chinese scooter. Wearing the wrong uniform on a Harley is fun too.

Harley riders are rude? How about all of you! I have fun on my scooter doing small runs and chores, I'll wave to see the response from larger bikes....zero wave back. I had one guy on a beat up Honda V-twin, pull up beside me and pat my helmet. He had on a Do Rag pretending to be the president...

Be careful your insurance agent may be reading your post! Mine was 140mph in a 55 back when that was the max speed limit. It was on a highly modified Kawasaki H-2. I was coming back from the drag strip 2:00 am after changing plugs at Moonlight Kawasaki. My boots were covering the stingers as...
