Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

My first street bike was a 74 Honda CB360 in 1984. :love:

Dress for the crash, not for the ride.:thumbsup:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

lol my first bike was a '73 CB350F or 4 or whatever the four cylinder 350 was called. Never got it running right with the 4 carbs, but put a nice paint job on it and sold it. :(
Back in the day my uncle had the same bike as you and rode it from Georgia to CT!

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

i think its alot of peoples first bike, its a good starter

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Hey p-nor, just got home a little bit ago and got the bike resting in the garage. Pretty stoked about it and got my buddy to really want a bike now. :thumbsup:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

I pulled the carbs apart tonight and cleaned out the little bit of varnish that was there. They weren't nearly as bad as I expected. Reassembled and added some fresh gas and she fired right up! I'm going to change the plugs and oil tomorrow night and hopefully if the weather holds I'll be able to take a spin around the neighbourhood :dancing::dancing::dancing:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

I've already ordered a bunch of new parts for my bike and got a rebuild kit for the carbs (4), new throttle cables, all brake new brake lines.. the works. :dancing:

Hopefully I should get mine running in just a couple weeks. I've already taken it around the apartment complex a couple times to give me even more motivation that I already have, to get the bike on the road. :thumbsup:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Outstanding!!!

Another one brought back from the Dead. Snatched from the Very Jaws of the Crusher.

Glad to hear you got it running and will soon have back in the Wind!

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Now if the weather would make up it's damn mind! :yelling::yelling::yelling:
In the last 4 hours it has pissed rain, snowed, hailed, got windy, now it's almost sunny.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

The eighteen seconds it rained yesterday were a real hardship, what with the sun popping out afterward and causing the roads to steam for gosh, maybe another six minutes. :hmm:
And it was really awful here today too, the temp plunged into the seventies and most of the folks around here wore socks with their sandles.:crybaby: I rode my Triumph to the VA and nearly got a chill from wearing my summer gloves and no jacket liner. Is it this bad everywhere?:wink::wink:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Hey V8T... SUCK MY ASS! :yelling::yelling::yelling:


:grin:

The temp today topped out at 42 :finger:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Haven't done nearly as much work on this bike as I'd like lately but it's progressed some since my last post here. It's even further along than this now but no pics yet.

Nah, you're not alone. I like cafe bikes but also have a soft spot for "crotch rockets"

http://www.teamyikes.com/Resources/Progress_2462.JPG

That's a 160 Monza Jr. I'm working on. The project has stalled lately but it's further along than that. Bad pic but it's about all I have right now. Pearlescent silver with straight black.

http://www.teamyikes.com/TS1.jpg

I'm also starting on a 250 that's going to be a 350 but it's not far enough along yet to show pics.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Here is my DNEPR that I picked up a while back. Its a mix of Russian parts but thats pretty standard.

It should be pretty nice once I have the time. But for now its getting cleaned and shipped home.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Man, you guys are touchy out there. If it makes you feel any better, there were (some) clouds today and the striping on my fairing took almost two hours to dry. :crybaby::crybaby:

Nice bikes! If everyone had at least two, it would be a far better world.:dancing::dancing:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Thanks for the compliments you guys. I wasn't sure about the color at first either. It started growing on me but I guess that doesn't matter because I am going to start ripping it apart to do some other stuff to it and it will get some different colors. I am going to rebuild the engine, new carbs. change the rear drum brake for a hydraullic one. Put a different rear fender and sissy bar on it and a few other odds and ends. I am thinking of a matte brown and a matte white paint scheme. What do you guys think?

WOW, a Beezer and a Trumpet.

I would have loved to see them run.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

How fast did the BSA run? Flatheads and Brit bikes, you gotta love `em.:dancing::dancing:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

I didn't get to see it run.
In a week or two they'll post the run sheet on the website: http://ecta-lsr.com/

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

I keep looking at that BSA. I really like it. The triumph isn't bad either but that BSA is definatly sweet.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Has anyone ever run cherry bombs on their motorcycle. If so what do you think?

I was packing up my 1959 Dnepr and started day dreaming about a flat black bike with two red cherry bombs on each side...

Yes...no...?

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Any pics of the bike as it is now? I have a huge fascination with '60 and older bikes (not sure if you posted a pic yet but I'm too lazy to search through all the previous pages of this thread :funny:).

The black and red contrast is ALWAYS cool in my book. Try photoshopping it? Do you have a stock exhaust on your bike right now? I know for most bikes if the exhaust is changed, the motor will have to be tuned accordingly.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Did that exact thing to my 550 honda. It has a nice throaty tone. Didn't have to screw with the tuning too much and it allows me to blast by the local PD without any trouble for being too loud.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

I posted a link. Its all in pieces which is the way I got it. I plan on putting it together but I would like it be powder coated first

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Oh shit! I remember that bike... and that sidecar. Kick ass bike! :love:

Mitch Bergeron (sp?), that dude that builds custom bikes, has his shop setup a couple doors down from my work. I took a stroll there on my cigarette break to see what new bikes he's got sitting out front. Turns out he built a chopper with a sidecar/seat (yes, a chopper!). Redman76, the whole bobber theme with a side car would be a fresh (and freakin' sweet) sight to my eyes. I say do it since I have never seen one done like that. :thumbsup:

One of these days I'll snap a couple pics of Mitch's bikes.

I just finished a book that all you guys should read, if you haven't already - it's called Leanings by Peter Egan, a columnist for Cycle World. It's a compilation of stories he's written over the years. Amazing writer, great stories, and some wonderful bikes. After finishing it, all I wanted to do was get a classic bike and hightail it off on a road trip adventure.

I wish I had known you guys have MoJo cause I have a balance disorder that caused me not to ride any more. at least not the Choprocket. No front brake, long rake. Any hoo Here she is.

Nice scoot Mike! Lack of balance is just one of our many disorders around here!! Sorry you had to let the bike go. It looks like a handful with that fork.

Just so you know, Mike, 3 wheels are more fun then only two wheels.. Thats a nice looking bike..:bow: Trikes like a lot of rake too...:grin:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Noticed a film crew and a wicked rat rod hanging out at Mitch Bergeron's custom chopper shop, which is only a couple doors down from my work. I had to be nosey and see what the commotion was about. Turns out he was selected to be on CMT's "Chopper Challenge" who came from Nevada (assuming since the license plates on the film crew's car was from Nevada) to film.

I took a picture of the rat rod (actually a whole bunch but since this a motorcycle thread theres a link at the bottom of this post for the rest of the pics of the rat rod) and a pic of the bikes that were in front of his shop.

Here's the rat:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Today I finally took the bike on the street and burned off any carbon on the plugs. :dancing: I'm definitely impressed how well it runs and how quick it is for 30+ year old bike. I'm going to do s'more riding around tonight to kill some time.

Here looks today with a bobbed fender, Lucas taillight and some blinkers:
http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ike/cafe66.jpg

I think it needs a larger diameter (18") rear wheel (16" on there now) to give it more of a euro cafe look.
Whaddaya think?

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

very cool sheridan!:thumbsup: i think a 18" rear wheel would look better on it for sure. that's why i gathered up the stock (but disc) wheel for a future swap. you could probably unload that 16'er on the jockey journal to some chopper dood. heck, if you're up for some big time shit, get a pair of acronts and lace up the stock hubs with some s.s. spokes. it's not hard to do. it's nice to hear that it's terrorizing the streets again.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

I welded up a set of custom pipes for a friend's Triumph Friday night. I didn't get pics but I will take some next time I'm over there. It's actually the second set for this bike. The first ones stuck out too far.

actually I don't know if its just a fancy engine stand or a display item or what but there is no sign of an attempt to make it functional. Sure makes ya do a double take at first though.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Thanks Paul. Feels good to be riding again. I was hoping to just get a rim and spokes and lace it up with the stock hub. Should work, right?

Clue me in on what the deuce these are: acronts :Idunno:

No luck on google.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

i spelled it wrong, they're akronts. it's a brand name of aluminum rims. pretty much the standard for cafe wheels. you can also get did or borani rims but akront is the larger name.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AKRON...spagenameZWDVW





you can get stainless steel spoke kits and rims from buchanan.

http://www.buchananspokes.com/








paul

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Paul, the web site helped a bunch although I don't know much about ordering the rims. I really really want to throw a 19" rim on the rear to match the front and also with similar matching tires. 19" might be a tad extreme but I dig the look and me being 6' 2" could probably still reach the ground.

Does anyone have any good info/ advice on ordering spokes and a rim that will match the hub? I'm seriously damned clueless when I stare at all the numbers on the site. :wacko:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Beautiful bike, but where's your brain bucket and jacket? ATG,ATT.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

they should be able to help you on what to order. you'll want a rim that is drilled for whatever hub you're using. from there you'll need the correct length spokes. they should be able to tell you what you need.

building the wheel is the easy part. you can put it together so it runs out decent and take it to a shop to true and tension. or you can do it all at home. i used to just use the forks on my bike to true the wheels i built for my mountain bike. it's not perfect but it's close.

I could not believe that thing ran so hard. one of his friends did some things to the engine. crazy

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Thanks! I got 2 demerits, 1 for not shoulder checking a right turn and 1 during a U-turn. I signaled right off the road and forgot to signal left as I did the U-turn. Other than that the tester said it was one of the best test rides she'd seen in a while.

Also got my set of vintage Tommaselli clip ons today so I can ditch those stupid clubmans.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...lliclipons.jpg
I'll strip 'em down tonight and get those suckers powder-coated.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Isn't powdercoating going to be too thick? Gotta make sure the throttle tube is still going to move freely on the bar after the refinishing is done.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

yah, either have them tape the inside of the clamping area or plan on grinding all that off before they'll fit.

what did you end up doing with the mirrors that were on the bike?







paul

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

I got some new vintage styled grips and had to cut those fuckers off with an angle grinder. I tried loosening the set screw but with no luck, out came the cutter.


I was planning on powdercoating the clip ons since chroming was pretty much unanimously voted as a too expensive route and powdercoating was the cheaper - yet durable method to go with. I really would hate to just paint them black; too bland.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

I just noticed this post.

What's the plan for the bike? How does it run, or does it? Good luck with the new project. :thumbsup:

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

thanks man. Im plannin on bobbing it. Gunna hafta be creative cuz I've never seen any of these bikes that werent stockers or cafe mods. No real chops or bobbers, at least not that looked good IMO. I've got it stripped down to the frame and drive train right now, rebuilding part of the frame so that the seat will be lower. Im going to rebuild the tank, build a new seat and rear fender, rebuild the exhaust, convert the front end to single disk, new headlight and bars. Oh and Im hoping its gunna work...gunna make it part VW. Building a custom intake and gunna run my 30/31 pict carb. haha
eventually new wheels and paint.
I know, alotta plans...but i've had some time to think it out

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...y/P1070388.jpg

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

IMO I'd go with the ape hangers if you want a cool bobber style but the factory wheels and stock seat kinda throws off the "look". My vote for a set of drag bars would look good.

edit: It's probably best to choose the handlebars based on your comfort level. If you want to go riding for a couple hours, make sure your arms and posture how you want it. If it's just a bar hopper, than it really doesn't matter riding position or comfort really.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Re: Motorcycle Thread
 

Yea I agree about the wheels and ride comfort. I like the ape look but I dunno if ill go that route since Ill be using it to commute. Ill prolly have a few different sets of bars that I can change out for different rides. Oh, and I hate the wheels but i have em and they dont cost nothin. Id like some wire spokes but not in the budget for now. Im thinkin about sandin off the finish and polishing them up to a high sheen so they aren't quite as lame
