ya i had to dogleg my xs650 frame too , made fitting a tank a pain in the ass.

huh, i didnt know i will have to check out f.b.g. see if i can find some. thanx!

extending the backbone: i found this schedule 40 tubing at work that fit perfectly (with encouragement from my 16 pound sledge) inseted it 2-1/2" into each side. before cutting thabackbone i made three alignment lines so it lined up perfectly. then used a straightedge to ensure correct alignmen...

ahhh i see, meybye we can help each other out, i will post pics along the way. what do you have in mind for building the frame out of? i plan on using tube steel in various diameters 1/2" and 3/4" i would love to use aluminum but i dont have a tig welder anymore

ya that was one of my primary concerns when lining it up, they will fit but the air filters will be stickin way up lookin really really funky. there will only be like 3/8" between the backbone and the top edge of the carbs. this is a 93 motor so it has the carbs not the throttle body injection ...

i work at a kawasaki / arctic cat dealership and i know it would cost minimum of 300 for that type of job, and no, splitting cases isnt hard at all if you go buy a book. but some shops can really rape you on that kind of work. we just had a kx-250 we did the crank bearings,seals rod thrust washers, ...

i need a cdi and some wiring off of a 92-94 cbr 900rr for my new build. if you see one please let me know. thanks!

I was hoping that I could get away with not extending the upper backbone but it isnt gonna happen. the front tire as it is will hit the oil filter under full compression so it will have to have at least 3 inches added to it. but thats okay I guess., it will give me more room to mount the radiator. a...

by the way for those of you running steelies, i would seriously consider drilling some drain holes in the bottom of your frame because when i chopped out the cradle, like a full cup of water came out of it and it was quite rusty in there.

this is the new build for this years widow climb. i have ran the 0-700 4 years now so i think its time to up the ante into the open class. its a cbr900rr into my 88 cr500 frame, just gettin her lined up to build the cradle. i want to build a cage style unit that i can unbolt from the cr frame at thr...

I ALWAYS wear a backpack with tools(ratchet,8,10,12,14,15mm. screwdrivers,allens,end wrenches, ,extra tube, inflator and clothes. i ride way out in the desert and do not like being stranded. ya it is some extra weight but dont be a puss you will get used to it. believe me when you or your buddys bik...

Well today was the first riding day in utah!!! although it was on my kx-250 it was a freakin blast not to cold at all i was sweatin actually. i dont know how many miles but it was about 3.5 gallons worth of fun! everyone and their dog was out today no lack of riding companions lol hope the weather s...

ya other than i mudded it up yesterday but you know how it is, you cant just not ride!!! i forgot how much power a fresh motor has, pulled the wheel up on a hill in 3rd and made my butt pucker had to panick tap the rear brake lol!

i picked this 86 up from a guy for 950, it has a fresh top and bottom with a new sleeve stock bore and inverted fork conversion! the only bad thing is that it has the worst case of weather cracking i have ever encountered, it looks like a bad retread job on a truck tire lol! look at the pics that is...

i got the radiator mounted up and plumbed in as well as mounting the teraflex type 1 to the fexcel rim (did painted black). all i have left is to find a good seat for an 84 yz125 and side panels, find a 2001 water neck for the head and mount the maier blaster race front fender it is gonna look kille...

is that a california thing that you have to have a catch can and spark arrestor or something? here you only have to have a arrestor but i like the idea of not puking antifreeze all over the dunes

what the hell is that bottle on your number plate? looks like a red liquid in it? wine?

it's so shiny all the other riders get their corneas fried from the glare and he wins.

my 88 climber, new top and bottom 6" extension fatty pipe
personally i like the no sticker look.

i got the pipe fitted in (almost) i just have to modify the tip so it runs closer to the frame but not a big deal.

that does make sense, because i have one that has a narrow band and a shallow chamber but another has a wide band with a deep chamber and the plug hole is angled different. the latter i bought from a guy that said it had been milled down. and he was sayin stuff about the squish but i didnt understand.

did you ever find anything? i want to upgrade my 88'

mine read like .090+ i better get a thinner gasket! this motor hasnt been fired yet and isnt in the bike yet so nows a good time to fix it. thanks bud you saved me a lot of headache and time.

i just picked up a cbr900 motor and it is going into my cr500 frame to be my open classer, so now the cr500 motor is going into the trike frame. it should be nice and light with plenty of power. the hardest part will be fabbing the expansion chamber to fit the beast, i will use the dimensions of the...

send your email and i will send pics with a list of all they need. btw beatricecycle.com is an awesome place for honda trike parts
