    I'm trying to keep all of my posts linked, So revival of my old thread. This bike got hot enough to melt the front tire off. Would this have damaged the heat treating to the engine and frame? I'm unable to procure a title for the bike so I've been on the lookout for a titled frame on Ebay just...

    Harbor Freight Gravity Feed Abrasive Blaster Gun with 20 oz. Hopper (Product Review)

    Good to see that I, am in fact, the dummy here. I actually just bought one as well! I'm not getting nearly the same results as you are. I guess my 30 year old hand-me-down craftsman Air compressor isn't up to snuff Glad to see that It isn't a total waste!

    It was a miracle! Guy had all of his bikes in a concrete room, the room next door caught on fire. His plastic-laden motocross and flat track dirtbikes where out of harms way the yamaha was on the wall. That fire got hot enough to melt the bike down from the next room over!

    Fire! Fire! Fire!

    The last xs I built was picked up for $150, it didn't take a lot of work. This is a matching numbers little rig, my last bike was miss matched, the frame was also hacked up. This is a solid platform with a free spinning motor with good compression and a nice frame. There isn't a title, so I'm...

    What's up guys, long time no see. In the waning hours of 4/20, I loaded up my chevy and made a mad dash down to New Smyrna Beach, to pick up a specimen that's had one-too-many bad trips. Blazed and confused, it sad alongside Super-sports and flat-trackers owned by a nice gentleman of...

    Identify these Carburetors?

    These came as "spare" for the Suzuki GS850 I bought, but they don't actually fit. They're spaced wider out than stock. I'm looking to sell them or buy the correct carb holders to make them work for my bike but I don't know what they're actually for.

    Can anyone ID this?

    Here's my thing, I don't buy functional stuff like this. I don't see a point in it at all. I could save for a few years, drop $3k on a nice XS650, but where's the fun? The $200 motorcycles bring me some joy, when I can get them working. I sold my XS because I lost my job, I paid $150 for the...
