For those fans of Peter Egan I thought I’d share this. It’s a podcast by Revzilla that I often listen to. This week they interview the notorious Peter Egan.

Looking for a K&N filter for a 76-84. I thought I was getting a great deal on eBay but when it arrived, there was only one filter. Long shot if anyone is holding one?

This morning I woke up to read in the paper that a local cyclist died in a crash in the wee hours of this morning. I happen to know this sweeping curve very well, as I have ridden this road for many, many years. As a matter of fact, it was 14 years ago tomorrow that my best friend lost his...

Selling a set of replica CB750 handlebars from Dime City. These are in great condition and only used for mock up before going a different direction. The bars have stock controls from what I believe is a ‘75B model, but not 100% on the year. All wires are run internally. Also included is the...

As I get close to finishing up my BBK install I have been searching many threads on carb tuning. I thought it might be nice to pull info from those running BBK's in their bikes on how they have them set up and have them and list all in one place. If you are running a BBK please share with us...

Just thought I’d share that Yamahaxs650.com is having a sale on exhaust systems. 1.5” chrome pipes for $99. 1.75” stainless for $120. Headpipe torque inserts $26. I missed out last time they were on sale. Not again! I’ve read really good reviews of the SS pipes. *free shipping over $150...

I acquired these some time ago for a future project, but I’m not going to use them. Not sure what bike the came off, but they are a matched pair. Will need cleaned and possibly rebuilt. Pads will also need replaced. I have a 14mm master with remote reservoir in good shape and also have a...

Kind of a random part, but anyone have a thrush washer for a starter motor from the brush end? Mine seems to have grown legs.

I’m sure there are some Moto Guzzi fans amongst this group. I am very drawn to the brand but know next to nothing about them. Can anyone suggest a forum like this one where I can browse and learn a lot more about them? I’d love to pick one up as a project some day. I knew next to nothing...

Shit, shit, triple shit!!! Today I was putting the bikes into winter storage. I drained the fuel from my ‘75 and peeked inside the tank and noticed something did not look right. Upon closer inspection I found that my Caswell tank liner has failed. It just makes me sick. This tank was...

Looking for a side stand for my '77. Don't need to be pretty, as i'm already painting a lot of other parts. My current side stand had the tang rusted off and now tucks all the way under the bike. Ive got the hardware, just need the stand.

Does anyone know if earlier headlight mount ears from a 34mm fork fit on a 35mm later fork? I am just not terribly fond of the way the bracket angles up. I like the look of the 73/74 bracket better. It’s just more triangular rather than a “finger” sticking out.

Ever since I wrapped up my ‘75 build I’ve been on the prowl for another project. I decided that since I have so many leftover parts from the ‘75 that it would be best to secure another standard frame and use my leftover parts to build another. Finding a titled frame nearby on the cheap proved...

Looking to buy a set of stock metal airboxes for 74-78 standard. Condition not too important as I will be cutting the front plate that mounts to the carb off for a custom air filter project. This is the only part I will be keeping, the rest will be discarded. Crusty and cheap is ok and maybe...

I've been looking at some side covers recently and noticed some differences in the 74 TX650 side covers. So the 73 TX has the early style covers with the bolt at the top. But now looking at the 74's I am seeing a mix. Some have the top bolt while others have the dual hanger brackets like the...

I have been pondering for a while now about utilizing all my leftover / extra parts to put together a Bitsa-bike project for this winter. I have most of the major components on hand in storage, other than a frame. I have an opportunity on hand to acquire a 72 rolling chassis at a reasonable...

If any of you follow Gas Monkey Garage down in Dallas, TX they have been showing videos recently of a major purchase. Richard bought the entire estate of and old bike racer named Kenny Kannenberg up in MN. Some very incredible and iconic bikes in his collection. They decided to ship around 165...

Today has been a real struggle for me. My little buddy Oscar, my English Bulldog who turned 8 just last week, has been having breathing issues for a couple of weeks. After a couple trips to the vet, we found through X-ray on Monday that his little lungs were riddled with cancer. That explained...

***TAKEN OFF MARKET. WAS ABLE TO SELL ANOTHER TOY TO FINANCE TRUCK PURCHASE*** I've owned this bike for 10 years and worked on it and collected a lot of nice parts for it throughout this time. This is a project that would require very little to have a nice finished tracker. I have title in...
