    For Sale - Misc items for sale

    Hey guys. I’m trying to clear out my garage of parts I don’t need to try and make a little headway on the build. Everything is make offer and I’m definitely not offering up gold here. If you are interested in bigger/heavier items I can work on getting a shipping quote. I’d rather not ship the...

    Kawasaki brings back the “small bore” 4 cylinder

    Kawasaki has brought the zx-4rr to the states! 399cc and four cylinders. I told my wife a long time ago if they ever brought such a thing to the states I would buy it instantly but the chances of that were highly unlikely. Not looking forward to explaining this to her. Haha! Claimed hp: 80...

    The post I hoped I would never write

    Well ladies and gentlemen, It’s quite difficult for me to write this as it’s been a mostly easy decision given what’s at stake, but weighs on me a bit. I’ve decided to give up road riding, at least for the foreseeable future. After seeing it get worse and worse for us over the years, this past...

    An amazing build

    Just came across this video on YouTube. The voiceover drives me a little nuts, but it’s worth enduring to see the talent this builder has. A completely functional work of art. Wish I had even a fraction of this skill.

    Craig weeks manual, did I miss out?

    I remember it being on the 650central home page, but now it’s gone. Tried 650performance.com, but the website no longer exists. Did I miss out on this? Should I try contacting MMM or 650performance somehow?

    Issue with 1.5 headers

    I want to post this because I feel like a crazy person. Maybe it’s the way it’s supposed to be. I haven’t had headers on the bike in so long I forget, but I cannot get my headers to be even. They are from yamahaxs650.com. It does not matter how I adjust them the clutch side sticks out basically...

    Replacement vin tag

    I'm going to be powdercoating the frame and thinking about removing the sticker tag and having one engraved, looking like the picture below. Has anybody had experience doing something similar or tips for how you went about getting a coating with that sticker? Thanks!

    Wanted - Front and rear hub

    Got a project bike lying around and you finally accepted you'll never get to it? Have a spare set of wheels because you're a hoarder? Let me take those hubs off your hands. Would like to replace my mag wheels with spoked wheels for my project. I don't need the rims or the spokes, just the...

    JesseeS Build Thread

    This will be my build thread. I think I'm actually going to finish this time. As I changed careers and life got crazy, money got tight, I changed the direction of the build and just about everything else got in the way. I'm about to enter my last year of apprenticeship, I'm now married, own a...

    Wanted - That rear fender in the corner of your garage

    Modern bikes. You have one?

    I know we all love these old bikes, and given my bikes current state, I love to tinker. Do you own a modern bike for the sake of more reliability or to suit a certain purpose? I currently also ride a Honda Monkey, but am looking at getting another big bike soon. Been looking at a couple triumphs...

    Wanted - Front wheel bearing spacer

    You know the one, the one with the little top hat that goes between the bearings in the front wheel. Somehow it has become MIA in my box of parts (shocking). Anybody have an extra laying around?

    What happened to my crankshaft

    Took the bike apart around 2 years ago. Before I took it apart I was riding around everywhere, reliable as hell, and no issues motor wise to be concerned of aside from a few leaks. One of the leaks was my sump gasket. Took it off today and looked inside to see my cranks looking like an absolute...

    Billet hubs from MikesXS

    So I've purchased from Mike's in the past and have found the products to be about 50/50 alright and trash. I saw they offered billet spoked hubs. I'm interested in purchasing as I'd love to get rid of my mag wheels. That said, I've seen a lot of places offer "billet", only to find when it cracks...

    30th birthday means new bike..

    ....and what a bike she is! Due to covid this year I had to cancel my wedding, started looking for a house but then had to stop because I got laid off, on my 30th birthday. (Things could be worse though, eh) So, my fiancé being the absolute greatest woman, left the house and came back with...

    XS with Windjammer!

    I know these are the red headed step child, but I absolutely love them. Finally got one fitted on my bike, with a working cassette player and everything! Going to trim down the windshield just a bit, as the vetter folks have had good luck with slightly smaller windshields for summer months. The...
