CB750F2N Cafe Racer Project.

The plan is to take a 1995 Honda CB750F2S and cafe racer it.......... 8-)
The donor bike has had a hard life and needs a good bit of attention. The wiring is shocking (did you see the pun there?).......but I'm not too bothered about that as I'll be modifying the wiring anyway.
The bike has a Predator 4-1 system on it.....but my plans are for a 4-2 system. I'm hoping that I can use the Predator downpipes and maybe get a collector made to split the 4 into 1 and then into 2. I have plans for the...

I've wanted to turbo something for yonks and since I only managed one track day last year I thought I'd strap one in the ZXR.

Here's what I started with:

The handling is great on this thing, the brakes are alright and I don't particularly like the fairings so I'll go naked and maybe do something about the brakes if needed.

I'd already spent a load of time tuning the engine - it's got a snazzy exhaust, the clean air system went in the bin and I've fiddled plenty with the...

First post - is a question! :-)

Hi, I'm new to this forum so apologies my first post is a question. I have searched, but no joy 😢
Anyway, after years if riding and maintaining bikes I have ventured into the world of modifying old Japanese bikes with a 1985 Honda XBR500.
I am looking to replace the boomerang style Comstar wheels with spoked ones, original and GB500 ones are very rare, so does anyone out there know what other spoked wheels might fit with minimum modifications?
I was thinking maybe RS250 or similar?
Thanks in...

I'm looking for some advice on respraying the fairings of an f650gs I've just bought. Partly because it's scratched up and has areas where paint is chipping off but mainly because I just don't like the colour.

I want to go for a military/rat look. Not a glossy metallic professional look but not an airfix paint look either. So probably a dark matt olive green.

It's got to be durable, I intend to ride it all year round on all sorts of terrain so this is my main concern.

Would it be wiser to...

I've been asked by a friend of a friend to make his Hinckley Bonneville quicker and faster. It goes ok at higher revs, but very little at bottom end and midrange. Don't know the revs, as there is no tacho. Not sure what the top speed should be, but as there's not much accel at bottom end, I've just reduced the front sprocket from 17 to 16 teeth. It revs a lot easier and pulls like a train up to 100mph(on the track). Still don't know what the top speed is though. Gonna leave the gearing as is...

Possibly Lifan etc , too.

With the horizontal cylinder, you can get the seat down low.
I think this one was done without cutting the frame (much).

Very new to the site, was hoping I could tap into your expertise.

I am currently restoring a Honda ns125r 1993. I want to rebuild the carb but I'm struggling to find a carb rebuild kit. Does anyone know where I can find one. I'm not interested in trying to change jets to increase performance, I'd like to get it as standard as possible.

For probably the first time in 6-7 years I dragged my Honda SS125 out from under the bench.
It's a J reg 1970 ,if youre not familiar with the model,similar to the more common CB/CD175.
Gave it a bit of a wipe down,sprayed over with some wd40 and kicked the engine over.
Checked the battery voltage,still at 3v out of 6 which surprised me it still had some charge.
Have owned it since 1998 when I paid £35 for it.

Painting chrome

I'm in the process of doing up my GN125, it's rather sad and rusty. Most of the parts are easily available, and cheap. The exception is the chain guard, which is difficult to find. My thinking is to remove it and rub it down, apply rust cure then etch primer. I'm thinking of a matt black final coat.

Any advice on the best black paint to use? Cheers.

Hello, I am new to this Forum and posting so please excuse any errors. My cousin, who is not computer savvy has asked me to find his old motorbike from when he was a youngster. He is hoping if he finds it he may be able to buy it back one day. It is a Yamaha RD 125 LC Registration UHR 6Y. He did have the opportunity to buy it back a few years ago but due to a death in the family it was inappropriate at that time to spend money on a motorbike. He would dearly like to purchase it again one day...

Re covering a seat

My GN125 seat cover has a couple of big rips in it. I've got hold of a piece of black leather off an old sofa that's big enough for the job, was thinking of having a go at it.

Is it best to stretch it as tight as possible over the existing cover then simply staple it to the base of the seat, or would it be better to remove the old cover first? Any other tips? I'm not looking for a 100% job, half decent will do.

Hi,

I have a Yamaha SR 125 that I am going to turn into a Cafe racer. The engine is the main issue as I had a brand new engine rebuild that was then heat seized by a friend but that's another story. I can't rebore the barrel anymore due to it being done to its limit before. I would like to know if there are any either 2 stroke or 4 that should fit on the same mounts without the need to alter the frame. Or would it be worth to go for a 250cc and upgrade the breaks and suspension??

I bought it back in September (2016) and it instantly gained the name Kermit and here's why...

So, why did I buy a GSXR in a paint scheme I didn't like... it was a bargain! It left me with money left over from my original budget to buy some second hand OEM fairings and some other goodies....

Hello all. Need a bit of help from the experts! We have a picture of my Grandfather in 1953 Yugoslavia. We cannot identify the bike in the picture, we are assuming is a Soviet or maybe some other communist motorbike, or we could be wrong. He was a police officer at the time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Can you identify the year of this Honda CG125

by eduley » Mon Sep 19, 2016 9:17 pm

I have a Honda CG125, It is registered as 2001 (Y reg) but parts bought using that year/reg never fit or aren't right.
The VIN number I can find is not 17 digits so i'm not sure if I can use that to identify it.
Can anyone take a guess at what year it is?
It does not have electric start or a fuel gauge.

onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

Thank you!

While I was riding around the trial area at the 1000 bikes do at Mallory in 2013 on my panther I was accosted by a random stranger.

My 1937 Panther trial bike

He wandered over and said I have been looking for you. To which I replied why? He then went on to tell me that he had rescued a pre war panther frame and forks out of a skip about 20 years ago and he...

Compressor

by Mawsley » Sun Nov 06, 2016 9:10 am

Imagine I know nothing about compressors. It's not hard because it's true.

What compressor should I buy and why? If you ask me why I want one then it's probably just for pumping up tyres - but let's pretend I'm going to use it to renovate the XJ with paint and stuff.

Your expertise, please...
