I thought I could apply for a good faith title... well my bike isn't even in the books and the dmv keeps telling me I have to find the original owner... wtf? If it's not on file how would they know? Anyway, if anyone has an extra titled frame lying around please shoot me a PM. I'm ready to...

Alright so I'm finishing up on the build and about to apply for a good faith title since the one for my bike was lost years ago... I look at the vin sticker (paper sticker.. thanks yamaha) and the sticker was scratched during storage or moving or something. Yay. I'm missing the last 4...

I just got the bike back together.. I can crank it, it idles fine.. and then the lighting dims and it dies.. won't crank again unless I kill the ignition and let it sit for a while. Then the same story over again. Battery is new and puts off proper volts. Is it the alternator possibly? Any other...

Search didn't return anything usable.. It's been a while since I disassembled the bike and have had finals since then.. so there are a few things here and there that I simply forgot. I replaced the lines, cleaned the carbs, and put new boots on.. I'm not too familiar with a vacuum petcock and...

I recently acquired a set of 5 kick start pedals. I'm using one to weld to my stock arm. I have 3 broad pedals with rubber inserts and one cross pedal. The 3 broad pedals come with the arms, but they are too large for our bikes. The cross pedal has a bent bolt running through so it would need to...

I did a search and didn't see anything. I want to swap out the stock pedal for one of the broader flat ones like the bicycle pedal style. I noticed the ours is a solid piece and the whole arm would have to be replaced. Anyone done this or found some to fit?

$100 shipped continental US. I had decided to keep this tank as my spare and had it bead blasted and powdercoated in silver.. but I'm trying to get the bike finished and need to get a new sprocket, chain, bearings, and seals. School has been keeping me super busy so my work schedule has been...

Considering going to spoke wheels and I want to know if 1980 spoke wheels will work on a 1981 special model w/ mag wheels.

When I purchased the bike it had both gauges and neither speedo nor tach cable. I won't be running the tach, so I just need a speedo cable. I also need a sidestand spring. I bought one from a member here, then I misplaced it. Bummmer. Let me know if you have anything. Thanks guys, -Jeramy

Hey guys, I recently acquired a welding machine from my girlfriend's step-dad to learn welds on. Obviously I'm not about to begin on the frame, but I am wondering what type of steel you all are using for your frame loops for when I do get to the point where I won't royally screw it up. I am...

Tank was supposed to be a light blue, picked it up from the powdercoater with a seafoam green finish. It's actually grown on me even though it wasn't what I expected, but I am going to go with a tank that has knee dents. Tank was bead blasted before coating. There's only one small ping dent that...

Need to know if these will work... locating dual sports to fit the 3.00-18 and 120-90-16 has been a pita. For the rear: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/29/393/14732/ITEM/Bridgestone-TW40-Trail-Wing-Dual-Sport-Rear-Tire.aspx?WT.ac=Cart_Item For the front: (would a rear tire be alright...

Figured I'd go ahead and start a thread for the build. Seems to be the right of passage around here! I picked the bike up for $250. It had been sitting for a while, apparently uncovered but the owner has recently tinkered and gotten it to crank. My brother and I swapped out riding the thing...

Have any of you guys found another caliper which will bolt up to the stock mounts on a 81 model? I'm having to get a new master cylinder so I figure I might as well juice up the stopping while i'm there.:shrug: Thanks, -Jeramy

Let me know if you have one and a price Thanks! -Jeramy

Over the weekend I acquired a running xs400 as my secondary project bike for $250! It is in need of some lovin to say that least. I'm wanting to run a kick only set up with headlight + taillight + turn signals. I'm removing the stock speedo and tach and will place a small digital unit...
