My Dartmoor tour part 2.

For the last week my friend and I have been touring Croatia from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik. It's been fantastic and I highly recommend it. We rented a Suzuki V-Strom 650 and a BMW GS 750....

First step was to build the dust excluder assenblies. This is really just installing seals and O rings. Apparently some time during '71, there were two seal designs. One was a conventional pressed-...

This morning I couldn't decide. Do I use my VFR or the CB 1300? I then went on a nice tour with the CB...

Once again thinking over the project, I realized that there is no way to bypass this step, because the native YBR exhaust is too bulky and low. And what is a scrubber without an adequate exhaust? I ha...

Forgot to install the primary chain tensioner before the stator. I didn't like the feel of the tension adjusting nut as it caught the edge of the slot of the tensioner blade every half revolution. I...

Finished the rear wheel and brake.  I had forgotten that my rear wheel is not original.  Some time in the mid 70s I noticed my rear sprocket was worn, so I decided to replace it. ...

And today we're going to talk about modifying the battery compartment (or rather, completely abandoning its configuration), as well as making side covers and related modifications. Make yourselves com...

I'm starting a new project-restoration of a motorcycle I've seen in my life. So, mini rocket c engine V4, all standard, blind purchase, another bunch of wood) Pictures of the ad:...

I've sandblasted most of the frame components, and am starting to put them back together. First up was the swingarm and rear suspension. The swingarm, like the rest of the frame, looks like it was b...

I sandblasted the frame and ther parts a few weeks ago, and can finally start putting some of them together.  Once set up, sandblasting is a quick way to get down to bare metal, especially in har...

I started by completely dismantling the motorcycle into spare parts, taking into account the convenience of their subsequent maintenance and painting. This was not difficult and was done almost with m...

I've been working slowly on the forks for the past few weeks. A lot of distractions lately, but things are still moving. From an appearance point of view, I knew I'd be repainting parts, but the cur...

The side covers were decided to be painted in graphite, and the fence paint did an excellent job – I really liked its color and texture. This paint took quite a long time to dry, after which, using th...
