So it took a year but she is finally done. Doesn't seem like a lot of work has been done. But im not a shop or even have a garage, I work wherever I can, whenever I can. When I cant do the work either its above my pay grade or I don't have the facilities I have to load it up and take it to my...

That should be easy ride. 300 miles each direction. My words of advice. If you plan on going the full distance in one shot remember this. Anything on your back will start to hurt after 100miles. Strap it around your waist and rest it on the tank. Make sure you have a brand new well oiled chain...

So my bike has been the same stage for a year and a half. Its my daily rider, she just passed 5000 miles on the odo. But this winter Im looking to tear it down and build up a show stopper. Just have a few questions. I making the bike have as little paint and powder coat as possible. Most of the...

My chain is looking to get replaced in the next coupe weeks. Ive been looking for new chain to fit my riding style. The bike is a daily rider, and I ride mostly city traffic. Lots of stop and go from lights, and buzzing in and around traffic. Im looking for a tough chain that can hold up to that...

still selling the mufflers?

It holds up on the highway. It has a 17tooth, with a 30tooth on the wheel. It's smooth at 60mph, but it loves to race up to 85-90. The seat is the first thing that keeps it an around town bike. It doesn't have enough cushion. It's fine with short blasts on Chicago highways, followed with...

It's a 92 Kawasaki zx-7

Update*** So a couple weeks ago i decided to give my bike a test. Since I want to take my road trip to LA I want to see how my bike handles the trip. I decided to find the city I can travel to in one day if I ran into trouble I wont be too far away from help. So I decided Chicago to New York...

Happened to me a little more than a week ago. As I was traveling to my mechanic, I was a scary stop, but I made it 26 miles on a highway to his shop. Thank good he operates right off a major highway, cause when I finally stopped i was only 1 block from his shop, just pushed it from there.

So many people chimed in on my last thread about my cross country trip to LA from Chicago. Much advice was given, and I am heeding the advice. After my bike was taken out winter storage she is still a virgin. I bought her with 3 original miles on her, and proceeded to only put on 400 last...

Its not an easy swap from old seat to new seat. To get me on the bike and riding I made due with a 2 small L brackets and 2 zip ties to connect it to the frame. But as I went home the best way is attach a hinge to one side, then bolt it from underside of the seat using a modified L bracket. no...

Yeah my friends that live in Evergreen tell me that it will probably be cold when I get there. So it will be a one stop in Denver/ Evergreen on my way to LA, On my way back I could take the old RT66 back home, or the northern Cali route. It will take longer, but like tonyc has said its a good...
