After reading the different posts on how to shorten a speedometer cable, making or modding my speedometer cable myself is a no. Many people mention buying a shortened one. Does anyone know of a vendor that sells shortened cables that...
Hey guys, New here. Not really sure who to ask about this, but I bought a set of Yamaha R6 front forks for $150. Supposed to be 2006 R6. Came with the forks, wheels, calipers and all. Only thing missing was the triple tree. So I ordered a used one off line for a 2003 R6. They don’t fit. The...

I've started getting parts for an exhaust system to replace the old welded special ones. The headers are about as far as I could get before running into uncertainty where to go next. The headers are the ones with bend on the lower section. The odd thing is, when i'm shopping around for...
late last year I sat on my couch, I was a tiny bit annoyed since someone else had just bought the xs 750 I thought I was supposed to buy as my winter project. So there I sat, annoyed at myself for not have been quicker out the door, quietly scrolling through different online marketplaces until I...
Hello. My name is Alex. I'm in Mesa AZ and I don't know shit about Japanese bikes. Now that you know me, let me tell you about the bike.
I found it while browsing OfferUp. I wasn't particularly looking to buy a bike as I've got a million projects going on right now, but the price was too good...
next will be my forks, then my exhaust..I'm not anywhere close to being done with this ( hopefully done in a couple weeks) I used to carve wood, so I gave metal a try. I can definitely get better at it quickly. I won't charge much at all, I could even draw up some badass designs for future...

Hope you guys like it and im excited to use this forum and the wealth of...
So I have this triumph tank that's in excellent shape, and I really like it. But, I need ideas filling the gap. It's about 4-5 inches as seen. I will be able to take up some space with the seat, but I don't want a big ass seat just to fill the space. I was thinking maybe a space for the tool...
My custom chopper, 2+ years in the making. Started full stock all-original, barn find. The only thing 100% original left is the clutch lever. :-)
19" total stretch with hard-tail, gooseneck and 45-degree rake custom springer.
I have the bike nearly where I want it. I need to change out clutch cable and lever (one of the few original parts, so may just powdercoat). I also am going to put a devil on the tank.
