Thanks for the info. After I get home from work I’m going to have a good look at them. Cheers.

Thanks for your advice. I might just have to buy a rebuild kit for my existing BMC and clean it up a little.

Hi guys I think the bore size on my CB900f is 16mm or 5/8 I can’t actually see the stamp with the BMC on the bike but it needs replacing at some stage and I seen a good second hand BMC at a wreckers t ...

Hi guys I’ve got a stock headlight on my CB900f and I like the looks but I’ve cracked the bucket. I’ve glued it pretty good but thought maybe it’s time to replace the whole thing. I like the 7” look w ...

Did a great job Pontiacstogo I like the clip idea. Thanks for the photos.

It looks pretty neat with the splitter. It’s only because I decided to go with braided lines that I changed anything. How about connecting the rear brake line to the front brake master cylinder, now t ...

Sorry about the bad grammar in the title. I pressed post before I previewed it. 😊

I removed my front brake line splitter years ago and just run two full length lines from the callipers up to the brake master cylinder. Not saying it’s better or worse just curious how many people hav ...

Thanks I checked out the photobucket pictures. My choice isn’t getting easier. It’s great looking at all different bikes though.

The multi panel idea is clever. I do have a spare tank so that is something to think about. Wow that black with the gold trim is elegant. Thanks guys.

Yes that red bike does look good and yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The truth is if you are a fan of these bikes we think they all look good. I’ve had one years ago painted a nice glossy bl ...

So I’ve got a stock 81 CB900f and I’m going to get it painted but I can’t decide what color or decals to go with. To me it doesn’t have to be the ‘correct’ color and decals for the model and year. But ...

I think the Blackbird is like a loyal quiet child that never asks for much and my CB900f is like a child that always needs attention so I've forgotten how good the Blackbird is until I could of swappe ...

Thanks guys, I'm thinking the same now.

I'll try to post a picture after work, but I'm in Australia. 97 carby model.

I agree who knows, the Blackbird might be a collectors item when they are 40 years old. After all they were the fastest thing on two wheels when they first came out.

Now that's a solution😊

Hi guys I've got a 97 CBR1100 Blackbird as my daily ride, never let me down, reliable, fast. But I might be able to swap it for a CB750f. On one hand my mind says don't offer to swap but on the other ...

Good idea.

So whilst removing the camshaft holders one of the bolts broke with the thread deep in the hole. I thought bolts might break over torquing them but not loosening them. So I had some HSS drill bits lyi ...

Good to know all this, I hate snapping bolt heads.

Thanks for the advice, do the bolts still snap if torqued correctly.

So I received a Forseti complete engine gasket set today, first time I had ever ordered one and it came with 16 valve stem seals which I didn't expect and I think is a huge bonus as they can be expens ...

Just decided to move it not knowing the Importance of air flow.

I learnt the hard way when I moved my regulator rectifier under my seat where it wasn't being cooled and it overheated, stopped working and cooked my battery.

Yes I do have a tendency to warm up the bike and turn it off, thanks for the comments. I'll change my habits. Cheers.

Hi Guys, I removed my clutch cover and found a thin layer of a white milky substance on the inside of my clutch cover. I'm sure it's not good. I cleaned the cover and changed my oil.

Does anyone use or recommend a battery volt gauge that gives a read out of battery voltage as you are riding. I've had a bad regulator/rectifier in the past that let the volts get too high and cooked ...

My motor came out of a go cart, I wanted to buy the whole thing but the guy wanted to keep the chassis. I didn't even want the carbs but we had such a hard time trying to remove them with really hard ...

Hi guys, I have a spare CB900F motor that is secured to a wooden frame that has all the electrics and coils and regulator/rectifier etc plus carbs that runs really well. I just have to take the batter ...
