I got the 1100 sorted and running great. It's a fun bike. The conundrum is that I have a self-imposed racing career that ends when I turn 60. Means that I have one season, this one, left. Really s ...

My policy in selling anything to a 'stranger' has always been that the first guy with cash in hand gets the deal. There are way to many no-shows, and people who have something 'come up' at the last mi ...

I'll make another suggestion, take two days for the trip. I have to imagine that between IN and ND there are a couple of really cheap motels, and for $40 you could get a room for a night. Even if you ...

As mentioned, go Greyhound for the bulk of your stuff. They offer cheap shipping for bulky items and considering that you don't need most of that stuff for the trip, I would try to avoid taking it wit ...

Welcome, and way to jump in with both feet. Just a quick thought, it you're new to riding, you might want to log some miles on a stock bike to gain some road riding experience. Clip on's and rearsets ...

Print out this page and take it with you - http://www.kbb.com/motorcycle/retail/1981/honda/cb900f-supersport/69184/.

It shows the dealer retail price of a 900F at $1510. That assumes it's in e ...

Try sudco.com, dynoman.net, or of course you could take your chances with ebay.

The picture is hard to see. There are two curved lines in the pics, on the sidewalls of the port running from the port back in toward the valves. They look like they might be casting flash from when t ...

In terms of what you're asking about, they stopped making them 20 years ago. They're still out there somewhere, but they're hidden away and can only be lured out with large sums of money.

I think it has a lot to do with the short production run. In the US, the 750 is the 'king' with 4 years in production, followed by the 900 for 2 years and the 1100 for 1 year. Add to that the fact tha ...

The choke shaft itself should have a series of indentations in it near the knob, and there is a corresponding clip that attaches to the carb body that clip into these indentations to hold the knob in ...

Just for reference, the main factors that go into a bike being good for beginners is the physical size and weight of the bike, and the amount of power from the engine. What you want in a beginner bike ...

New plant in Mexico

According to the article, the plant is for an SUV, not for Ducati.

Good lord. The scary part is that the horse alone probably cost two or three times the price of a nice F bike. Add to that the cost of the bike under the horse, and you're looking at $30k or $40k for ...

This last weekend my neighbor Ken and I entered 2 of our bikes at a local bike show.
About 150 entries mostly Hardleys but a number of Asian bikes as well.

Ken's 1100F showed really well only havi ...

These guys sell complete kits, but they also sell a mini kit for just the shocks for about $8. It looks like the website is currently being rebuilt, but if you want to call them, the part number is HO ...

That bike is in VERY nice original condition, and worth quite a bit more than you paid. I would suggest that if you do anything, just fix whatever is wrong with it, but keep it 100% stock. Repainting ...

The brake rotors on these bikes need to be ground on a surface grinder, they can't be turned. Do a search on the sire, there's a company in MI that does the surface grinding and are highly reccomended ...

In that case, check the rear end. The G bikes (8v) are shaft drive, and the E bikes (16v) are chain drive. I probably should have mentioned that in my first post, but all the engine talk had me thinki ...

I am not up on Suz stuff but I always liked the 1100E's.I really believe it was a sohc but I am not sure.It looked like it had sitting outside quite a while.

All the big GS bikes are DOHC. ...

@davelepka: I have seen some locally on craigslist and ebay but they have all been too expensive or too light duty, I will keep looking there. I have red that the combo milling/lathe machines are n ...

I went and looked a used Smithy combo machine that was for sale locally, and it looked like a great option. I'm also thinking about getting into machining, and getting a mill and a lathe in one machin ...

I saw an ad on the Cleveland Craigslist that was posted somtime yesterday afternoon/evening. It was for a 900, all stock, 12,000 miles, and in storage for 16 years, black with a red stripe. No picture ...

For the last month or so, if I'm typing a post that extends beyond the length of the text box (downwards), it doesn't just page-down and let me keep typing, it does this weird thing where when I'm act ...

Don't worry, I didn't get that joke either and didn't think it was that funny once it was explained. The truth is, the best guys in any field are the ones who do more asking than telling. Spouting off ...

When I first saw your idea for chopping the stock footpeg plate to make an adapter, I thought it was a great idea. Now you've taken it to the next step, and this looks like an even better idea.

If they have tools, that means they have a garage. Do a search on ebay for Honda signs, banners, ads, posters, clocks, etc, and you should be able to come up with some cool, unique gifts they can hang ...

The only thing I wish I did get was the shock stickers. They appearantly only come in the kit with the warning stickers. I only needed one & couldn't justify the extra cost (cheapskate).

Ditto for driving restrictions, those will be in writing, so make sure you read the policy and fully understand them. As oppsed to not being able to leave the state, some policies have a range restric ...
