    For Sale - Title

    I have a clean, clear, pristine title for a 650 Yamaha, titled as a 78 in my name. I'll take the 1st hundred PayPal to me for it. Perfect for your project.

    For Sale - 6 over forks.

    I am parting out my old steampunk trike project. I never got it to handle the way I wanted and no longer mess with it. If anyone is interested I have 6 over front forks, possibly the good engine with BS38's. ( no charging system parts on it.) 125, shipping on you.

    Not a 650, but an XS anyway.

    My son just picked up a 78 XS1100. We have a new back tire for it, and are wondering on this particular bike is it ok to change over to tubeless? I've done it on Viragos, Guzzis, and Suzukis, but but this animal is new to me, and those bikes are all 81 and newer. I know the valve stem routine...

    Big money for charging not always needed?

    I built a chop for my son 25 years ago. He used to take it on day trips 50-60 miles from home. He always made it back. Points will fire clear down to a little under 6 volts. We did not have, at the time, a working system so he rode it dead loss. The law doesn't require a headlight in Iowa before...

    Didn't see a thing

    I've told this a few times over the years, it gets a lot of grins. Nearly 40 years ago I worked as a maintenance helper as a young guy. Me and the 2 older guys would hang out behind the plant at lunch break on the graveyard shift. Bernie was a hunter/trapper/biker from way back, and Joe was an...

    For Sale - 6" over front end, maybe the motor

    I am parting out a project. The forks are 6" over, and nice. Check out what Franks wants for a pair. Pics don't do justice with the glare and my lack of camera skills. Front fender is from a 750 Hondamatic, I liked the built in flare. I will sell the 6" tubes by themselves if you don't want the...

    Too close, way too close

    Turned and took one step, right in to a piece of water pipe sticking out the back of a truck at eye level. Thank God for glasses.

    I wanted ammo boxes

    But they are HEAVY....so I ended up with these from a sporting goods store. Yes, I am frugal....as in cheap.

    Any reloaders out there?

    Just curious as to how many of you reload for rifles. I use Lee stuff, mostly, and am equipped for 22-.250, .243 and .270 Win, as well as .257 Roberts. Don't do much of it anymore tho, really bad shoulder got me out of the rhythm of it and haven't returned yet.

    Well it was free

    Working on a buddy's RD350, and he's so happy it runs he gave me this project. Starts good, runs great, 1977 with a clean title. Everything is Jerry rigged really badly. I really needed another project. I'll put on new timing belts and then wonder what the hell to do with it. As long as they...
