    Pleasant surprise

    I was helping out my moto collector friend from Pittsburgh this weekend and he offered me his 2015 Yamaha R3 with 913(!) mi. and flawless for about one-third the price of a new one. How could I turn it down?:shootme: Couldn't get a pic of the actual bike as it is buried behind about forty...

    Spark Plug Question

    Are BR8ES plugs okay to use in an XS1b? A friend asked me and I wasn't 100% sure of the answer. Forgive my ignorance. :umm:

    '76 XS500C info?

    Found a nice, clean, low mile (4752) survivor near me. Not cheap, but very presentable. Any major issues with these bikes that I need to know before making a reasonable offer?

    Any opinions on these as I have an opportunity to have one installed by an Amish crew for a reasonable cost and I'm no expert on the subject. Thanks!

    Most memorable bike you've owned

    Which one brings back good times? For me it was an '81 Suzuki SP500 that I rode in many National dual-sport events with my friends on their Husabergs and KTM's and finished (behind them:laugh:). Dated a hottie that a 4wd was needed to get up her driveway and it made that journey many times with...

    Kickstand question.

    My '75 came with no kickstand but I thought "no big deal I'll just use the one from my poor hulk of a '78 parts bike that was given to me". No go, totally different.

    Paint code

    Any help finding the paint code for my '75 B in black metallic would sure be helpful. The side covers look bad compared to the rest of the bike, and I would like to be able to give the painter the code to make his life easier. New decals came with the bike, so I might as well get it done...

    Early/Late clutch swap question

    I need to buy new clutch plates for my 71b, and was wondering if I can/should change to the later (78) clutch hub/basket setup for a little better operation. I already have the parts to swap, so if it's a good idea, I'll do it now and be done with it. Thanks

    Early/Late clutch swap question

    I need to replace the friction discs on my 71b. Doing a search here i've learned the early plates are no longer available, so I have to use the later plates. My question is, should I go with the later basket also? If so, will the later basket fit the early bike? Problems? Thanks

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving to all! We all have a lot to be thankful for, as we are able to build and ride the bikes that we all love. Many people don't have that luxury. :bike:

    Any new Triumph owners out there?

    I may have an opportunity to buy an '06 Thruxton with less than 700mi on it for a good price. Anybody have any experience with these? Opinions? Not a scratch on the thing. :bike:

    Halogen conversion "W" clips question

    Just bought the halogen kit for my '71 from Mike's and can't figure how it installs. There are no instructions, and it looks to me like there is no way it can work. Any suggestions? :banghead: Mick
