    1970 Honda CT70 build for the wife

    I put this together from a $100 titled basket case in our living room. The engine is a 96 z50r that I built to 88cc with a race head and cam. It's street legal and does 45-50mph with my 180lbs on it. She's just learning to ride but it rips with her on it.

I need to find a fork brace and make a harness with the PC8 hub I have. All these new projects fall into my lap and I keep putting the 650...

    SOLD Tank still needs a bit of massaging to fit an XS650 but these have been used by many builders and it's a badass light weight tank with a look you cant get in anything new. It has one very shallow ding on the top near the mounting tab as seen in the photos. The seat is in great shape but...

    Got a Free KZ!

    A good friend is giving up riding for a bit to calm his wife down after her brother just got in a serious wreck. He gave me his 78 KZ650 that has rod knock. I think it's definitely worth fixing as he has replaced all chassis bushings/bearings, rebuild the forks, put zx6r tokicos up front and...
