UPDATE: Thanks for the interest guys. After using it as a daily rider for a while I ended up getting a new seat. I think it was a 76 CB 125 seat. I also took everything off for plastidipping. Tomorrow we might even wrinkle paint the engine. We'll see - a lot happening right now.

So the day of my motorcycle safety training (which you need in FL to get be legal to ride) I was getting home from the class and my roommate called me with some pretty serious news. "Dude the neighbor backed into your bike". I was hoping he meant my bicycle but no, he meant my real bike, the...

So tires are pretty confusing. After ordering some online I immediately canceled them because I wasnt sure if they were right. The problem is that they are in the inch tire measurement and I cant get an accurate metric size from them. These tires are a little hard to find a matching pair for...

Re-routed the throttle tonight and it seems to be fine now. But now the bike wont stay on and idle for very long before it dies. I'm charging the batter and hopefully if it can hold a charge I will try electric starting it tomorrow. Tonight I'm researching tires - im thinking about putting...

My buddy had some european bars that would work so tonight we got to work in changing the stock bars out. We put them on pretty quickly, except the throttle wants to stick now its not the action on the throttle but the line is getting caught somewhere. But its the first step in the right...

My first build - just got this beauty today. Runs and sounds great. Can't wait to put some work into her.
