Hey gents, Just took apart my front end to install clip-ons and noticed my right front fork is bent where it clamps to the lower tree. I put it up against a straight edge and it deviates about an inch at the bottom of the fork :banghead:. I have another '81 with disk and mags, so I was...

Hey Guys, I've been looking around online for good DIY lift plans, since a decent quality lift starts around $500 locally. This is the best model I've found so far, so I figured I'd share the info if anyone else was looking to build a lift. Normally I'm the kind of guy to just look at pictures...

This is NOT my bike, and if the owner is on here I hope he doesn't mind me posting the vid. Thought I'd post this, as it looks like a cool build, and I always thought the smaller displacement bikes sounded terrible with straight pipes, but this actually sounds pretty good. Anyone on here...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any options for an aftermarket tank cap, preferably a real simple design. The pin that actuates the release mechanism when you turn the key on mine is gone, so I need to manually push the small plate forward with a screwdriver to open it. Add to that...

I'm looking for 18" rear wheels for both my bikes. Haven't decided if I'm going to run spokes or mags on the first rebuild, so whichever I can find an 18" in first will probably be the ones I use. I would prefer a drum mag rear, but disk will be fine too. I suspect shipping on these things will...

Hey all, I still haven't had a chance to even touch my bikes since I got them a month ago, due to school and work commitments :( , but I'm getting closer to hammering out a plan for the first build. I want to do a cafe for the first bike, and I'm still torn between using the spoked drum wheels...

Hey all, I'm just starting to plan my build and I'd really like to go with 18" wheels front and rear. I have 2 bikes, one with the 18/16 mags and one with the 18/16 spokes with drums. Haven't decided which I'm going to use for the first build yet. For the mag, I'd like to find an 18" with a...

Hey all, Thought I'd start a thread to introduce myself and maybe follow a bit of my build(s) as they progress. I recently picked up 2 1981 XS400's for really cheap, one runs but doesn't charge and the other isn't running but is basically complete. I come from a sportbike background and don't...
