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...

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...

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...

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

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+

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

Okay, here's the pics for the engine fitting. HOLY CRAP! Honestly, I'm amazed it fit without having to lengthen the frame (which I'm going to do anyway) The exhaust is why I need to make the fame a little longer (2-3 inches at the most) so I can access the mounting hardware. That is...

The bike isn't supposed to have any pedals. The frame is inverted to put more of a rake on the forks for better handling, and to bring the whole bike a little closer to the ground. When I was riding that bike (of which I have no pictures) it had a partial 1970's Kawasaki racing fairing, and...

Spent the week working for other people, so I only had time to test fit the motor (don't worry, I have pictures of that). Hopefully, next week I'll be able to start lengthening the frame and weld in the new engine mounts.

Cut that sucker out of there (I need the mounts and such) Now I'm off to Stockton to stick this in a bike that was definitely not designed to hold it... Damn, that Benelli is going to be so F***ing Dangerous! I can't wait!

Ah, I dug out the DT250, time to cut that bastard out of there and squeeze it into that Benelli frame... Sure hope it fits!

Okay, here's something a little off topic: Now, I've always loved Cafe bikes (even before I knew what they were called) and used to dream of riding my neighbors vintage Ducati when I was in 6th grade, and i thought my first Cafe build was a Yamaha I did last year... Well, it turns out, my first...

I was in Stockton CA last week. I went to my friends grandmothers house to help move some crap out of the back yard, and then I spied a neat little motorbike rusting away along the fence covered in vines. Upon closer inspection, I noticed a nice boxy tank, and I thought to myself "That tank...

Hey, can somebody recommend a set that'll work on my bike? And the stock speedo doesn't have a tach, will an RD cluster fit?
