Here's how it looks now - A previous owner chucked some 11¾" shocks on the back which is all fine and dandy but they ain't gonna cut it for the build I have in mind. I want to raise the rear to give the bike a straighter look, thinking 14" - 15", but trying to figure out which size to...

I'm trying to check the valve clearances on my '81 cb750, and there's a lot of oil in the pockets in the cylinder head surrounding the valve lifters - so much oil in fact that the shims are totally covered in the stuff. The front cam (exhaust cam?) is almost overflowing over the valve cover...

Hi from Montreal, new guy here embarking on his first restoration/build project, and excited by the challenge. Well, after a week (I'm no mechanic it should be said) I got her running =) New battery, cleaned the carbs (not gonna eat your breakfast off them but good enough for starters -...
