A friend of mine recently was given a cb750a for free. Not my first choice but he would like to get it running. The bike is complete except for carbs from the previous owner which were removed for cleaning then lost. I'm trying to figure out the most I can about the condition and how worthwhile...

This XR will be pretty cool if that foam turns into anything like the final product. https://brunodesignsart.com/Honda_XR650L_Project.php

Cafe racers have gotten pretty popular where I live in oregon. Pretty much any honda cb is a minimum of $750 and alot of those dont even run or have titles. I was browsing around the internet trying to find what weird and less desired styles of motorcycle that would make a kind of cool...

So I used floral foam and wood for my first mold but almost wish I had gone with something a little better than the floral foam. Considering maybe making another mold. I see a bunch of foams being used....does anyone have and recommendations for foam?

Thanks a bunch...that helps alot.

So I am considering building my own fiberglass seat and have made a positive mold from wood and foam. From reading a lot of builds I feel really good about all aspects of the build except the most important part: the glass. I feel like most threads kind of gloss over this part...and having never...

. I also have a mojave tank lying around that I might be considering for this bike. Im really not sure how I feel about it yet. I will probably paint it silver if I keep it....but the whole paint scheme is kind of up in the air right now. The paint of the side covers and current tank is almost...

. I started on the lighting today and I am already running into some issues...lol. I thought it would be about as easy as connecting the male and female ends...but for some reason its not turning out that way. Its not really rocket science....but it looks like it has been extended beyond a...

. So the first step was to fix the bad clutch cable. I decided I should put some new bars on it at the same time and replace the grips/handles. The first replacement clutch cable I put on it snapped about 5 minutes into riding it and I had to replace it again. Im pretty happy with how the...

I just started a build on my new bike which is a 1974 TX650. My first and most recent bike before this one was a cl350...that I kind of outgrew and decided I needed something bigger. I picked this baby up in great shape for about 1300. The guy who I bought it from was getting heat from his wife...

Im am in the process of mocking mine on a tx650...fits with the stock seat depending on how you mount it (witch will most likely involve welding to the bottom) I have some pictures I can upload when I get home (sending this from my phone)

I recently purchased this taillight: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-electronic-lighting-parts-classic-retro-satin-black-taillight-62-21512-sbpc.html I figured it would be fairly easy to install but im having trouble. I...

I need new fork oil seals on my xs650 and Im considering upgrading the front fork springs to aftermarket progressive ones. I have spoken to a couple people who ride yamahas....and one said it made his front end really stiff and the other (who owns a bike shop) told me it was a waste of money...

I have no idea what to even search for because I dont know what they are called. Any help of where i could get one would be a big help.

Hi! New to the forum. I just got done completely fixing up my first bike (cl350) and pretty much did everything turning wrenches. I really dont have any experience in fabrication, metal work or welding. So this week I bought a 74 TX650 for a grand in fantastic condition. I am planning to start...

Well, I mostly zip around town on my bike now because I live in the city. But to go anywhere else on a 350 is a pain in the ass. I live in portland oregon so there are a lot of cool places to go that are about an hour outside the city. There are also a lot of good driving roads very close. I...

I am currently still riding my first bike which is a 73 honda CL350. I have put a good amount of work in....but I feel like I would really like something a little bigger/faster if I'm going to put any real money into it. So I'm looking to start a new build but am having a hard time deciding...
