Have any of you guys done a baffle delete or bored out the inside of your exhaust. I'm thinking about doing something like this and would like to know what you guys have tried. Pictures if you have them.

I finally decided I needed a carb stand to be able to see where my 82 CB750F carb bank was leaking (this week). I almost bought the K&L stand a couple times but felt it was overpriced at about $80. Then I read some bad reviews about it and decided to just build my own. I used an old garage door...

I am looking at purchasing a good brand of carb sync because the shop around here wants 125 to sync my carbs. I have a friend that also needs this done so we are just going to purchase one together rather than spend 250 to get it done. Just curious if anyone has an opinion.

First off let me say that I am by no means a chemist. If I had a chemistry class in High School, I don’t remember any of it. This is a summary of what I’ve read. Electroplating occurs in an electrolytic substance of free ions which are the carriers of electric current. Here this is, Epsom...

Hi everyone, I live in Fort St John, on the Alaska Highway. Last summer I bought a '79 CB750K, 10th anniversary edition with 16 000kms on it. I love this bike. I'm planning on riding it down to baja in a couple weeks (I might throw it in the back of the truck and drive south till it's warm...

I've been wanting a lift table for a very long time. I always thought I'd get a Handy lift because I've used them before and I know they're tough. I've been keeping an eye on Craigslist for a while and not much is popping up so It looks like I'll be buying new. I don't want the Harbor Freight...

After much consideration, I chose the fork-style Harbor Freight lift as a Christmas gift . It took about 20 minutes to bolt it together and it was ready for use. I wanted this type of lift so I could easily remove wheels or forks. But I also had looked at the table type of lifts so I...

FIRE !!!!!! Exactly where is your fire extinguisher at this very second? I have 3 of those big tank jobs one every 20 feet down the shop center. NO bike starts in my shop without the fire extinguisher in plain sight

I'm looking at getting some steering bearings and found a company : Pyramid Parts that sells a kit consisting of Upper/Lower taper bearings, shells (races), upper/lower seals, grease and a link to fitting instructions. $ 43.50 Whats the best way to remove the old races? I have different slide...

I've posted on other sites about using electrolysis to clean rusty gas tanks, and today I used the same process in a tub to cleaning some steel (and actually remembered to take pics), so I thought I'd share both setups here... Here's the setup to clean gas tanks: You need a sacrificial...

I thought I'd show you guys what I've been up to over the weekend (and a couple of nights last week). Last spring I got some heavy steel plates off of Craigslist to use as a top for a smallish welding/fixture table. Here's a picture of them on the temporary stand I made when I first got...

One of the first thing I did when I bought my CB last summer, after I bought it, was to have a look at the carbs. The bike had been sitting in a shed for 15 years, with a 1/2 full gas tank, the throttle would not even budge, so I kinda figured that the carbs must have been gunked up . .. . I was...
