That’s what they want you to think…

Even if you buy the blue one, see if the other guy will sell you that cup holder. Cheap theft prevention is hard to come by…

Usually on a bike it’s on there for 1 of 2 reasons - hiding something or trying to look cool. Works good for hiding stuff - doesn’t look cool haha. If it was done properly (usually none of them are) then it would be water dipped and after it’s dry sprayed with a silicone heat wrap paint...

Or better yet, a whole saw to cut the pistons.

Why not cut the pistons?? Dermal around the rod and then a few slots going towards the wall and then knock em out.

Duct tape is rated for 100mph!

I got a Chinese one from eBay for 52 bucks for my cb750. I’ve had it for a few years and hasn’t skipped a beat. If you were taking bets, I’d place my money on the eBay ones being real ones, without a dyna stamp. They are exact in every way but the logo.

I mean the bare metal under the coating. I am gonna strip it and then polish the metal.

Wild! - looks like I might need to swing by my old work and borrow the autoclave haha.

I will give it a look. I guess I’m just used to cheaper made ones. Don’t think I’ve ever come across that before. I’m pretty sure I can polish it back to a mirror finish.

The 69 headlight easily came apart and had a replaceable bulb. 70 they went sealed. 71 back to replaceable haha.

I’ve figured out, this was a one model, one year light. If I fail in my attempts to polish the metal reflector, I may be able to get one of those to work with some modification.

Well I couldn’t just sit around… So I got it all apart. Lense was glued in with some sort of grey goop. I’ll have to figure out what it really is. It’s kinda soft, like not fully cured jb weld. I was going at it with a small dental pick and wasn’t getting far. I flooded it with acetone...

I got my cylinders at the machine shop and should have them Tuesday. In the meantime I’m trying to sort through some electrical. The head scratcher at the moment is the best way to replace this light… An awesome weird shape, but a sealed beam and my high beam is blown. I seem to...

In terms of customer service/quality parts… 4into1 makes Mikes look like a 5star operation. They are owned by a Chinese outfit and offer close to Zero in terms of support if you have an issue. I would purchase elsewhere but if you do roll the dice and buy from them, buy it off Amazon (they...

Your spring wake up sounds better than mine haha. I just get heavy duty lawn equipment and weeds up to my waist.

Nice!!!!

The trend in surfboard glassing went from these Thalco rubber squeegees To the yellow bondo style squeegees. The problem with the bondo style is they are too hard and pull too much resin and don’t easily conform to subtle curves the the rubber ones. The solution is to soak them in...

ive had an olive green 350g. Although about 20 years ago. Brakes worked pretty good. Maybe a caliper change? or lines if they are old. I also have a gold 71 with a drum front that works just fine too I have nor have I ever had a modern bike to reference any of my options against. I did...

My 69 cb750 stops great. I believe Honda was first of the Japanese with disc and I believe used the same design on all cb/cl bikes without real change through all of production.
