I'm looking for a fork cap with the adjustable plunger. Do you have one?

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm not crazy on the look of the mufflers but they sound good. :devil:

Wow that "matey" has talent. Beautiful tanks and fairings. If you have the time, which sounds like you might, go for it! :thumbsup: I do not, 3 kids that are 5 years old and younger. :) I could model a tank in 3D CAD but making a 2D sheet metal flat pattern from all the curves and...

Building your own tank, that's a lot more ambitious than me. :) I'm not sure how the final tank shape would look using flat sheet bent and welded. It would be very boxy looking instead of a nice round or contoured shape. Not to mention you'd need a good welder who can TIG. I'm not familiar...

Hey Binny, I just moved to the Victoria area from Winnipeg recently and I also have a cafed 650. I need to update a build thread, I'm just finishing up a metal solo cafe seat pan, new tank and then ready to paint the tins. Your bike is looking good, looking forward to seeing the Ducati...

I've had the same problem a couple times. On mine, small debris (rust from tank) gets into a carb and makes the needle stick open which keeps the float down and floods the carb and fuel drains out the air filter and into the engine. I've pulled the carbs out and cleaned them but still need...

Thanks. I welded a "u" shaped plate to the neck on the frame with some short pieces of tubing like the older frames had to hold the front rubber mounts. Then I bent the rear tank mount so the rear of the tank sat higher on the bike and then added some gusset plates to stiffen. The pipes are...

This is my first bike that I picked up in Feb and I did all the work myself in my garage. She started out as an '81 650 Special with 10k miles on her. She now has a 750 tank, '77 650 metal side covers and spoked wheels, vintage car tail light (swap meet). The parts I fabbed; the seat...

I had no problems but I followed their procedures. I left the bikes in storage in the US near the boarder. Brought the titles to the US customs so they could make copies. Drove home. After 72 hour period (they need that time to run the titles to make sure they're legit/lien free.) returned to...

Well, thanks to this great site I got myself not one but two bikes! I picked up the '81 special and '77 standard from Devils Lake ND on Saturday and stored them at the boarder. The first couple pics were taken on Saturday when the weather got a bit hairy. Today I headed back to the boarder to...

Thanks.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the write-up Resto. I think I should be good. Is the Yamaha dealer on Dugald Rd. a good place to bring it for a safety? I work close by so that would be convenient. Boy this topic is way off from my original question. :)

OK, thanks.:thumbsup:

Hey nice to see another WPGer on here. I just joined. Both the '77 and '81 have good titles per the owner but the '77 is disassembled so I'd steal parts from it where needed but the frame can be used for a future project. I'm buying it private so I'm going to run out check them out, if OK...
