    Beyond a Basket Case... 72 Build

    thanks yeah for those who don't wanna go all over the top with upside down forks and huge tubes this is a really good option. 37 mm tubes, modern brake and wheel tire combo, very easy swap and price point is very low. I paid 100 bucks for my entire front end including master cylinder

    Lesters Swing Arm bobber, Brat type build thread

    I was wondering the same thing myself... I know that I'm the new guy I was looking at all these other build threads and informational threads and was kind of sad when no one replied to anything that I posted including my build thread... but I can't complain there's still a wealth of information...

    Beyond a Basket Case... 72 Build

    After going back and forth about my ideas for this bike, and getting the swingarm off the Ninja for free with the last batch of parts I scooped up. I decided to keep with my original plan and keep it a swingarm bobber... The Ninja swingarm is about a 4 inch stretch over the stock swingarm, And...

    How tight on stem nut?

    I will back it off a little and see if it feels better... Mine is exactly like that but I am using Ninja 500 triples (stock stem swapped and upper washer cut down to fit those triples) Just didn't know with new bearings packed with grease if I should feel any resistance when moving it side to side

    How tight on stem nut?

    Mine is a 72 so the spanner part and a nut are all together they tighten down on top of the cap.. Then the triple sits on top of that in there is another nut on top of all that... unless I am totally missing something

    How tight on stem nut?

    Finishing up my front end swap. Got my All Balls bearing set, drove in the races and got everything assembled. Just curious how tight I should tighten the spanner nut on the top of the stem. I snugged it up good and there is a little resistance when I turn everything now. Can you tighten it too...

    No-title barn find... Input please

    There are many options before it comes to this in my opinion... phone calls and paperwork Are free. If you can find a good bike for cheap because of the title issue I always still say it can be worth it as long as the bike is not stoln... I've done many bikes and cars in Virginia which is a...

    No-title barn find... Input please

    Mine went through at least a dozen owners as a "parts bike" I know here technically a vehicle left on property for over 48 hours is considered abandoned. And you dont have to have proof. Just the paperwork filed and previous owners contacted. If no response you have to "Post Intent to Auction"...

    No-title barn find... Input please

    Cant your file for abandoned vehicle? Here in Va (Which is a pita to get titled) If its been that long they send a certified letter to the last registered address, If no one responds after a month you go onto the next step. Doing that for mine now (Last registered in 86) Mine didnt even show up...
