The Rocker Box had to come off first. We figured out that most of the bike uses Whitworth which is a British standard hardware. This is no longer used but since my bike was from 1970 they still used t...

I found a parts manual online that has diagrams of all of the different parts on the motorcycle and where they go.The manual shows a bike that is the same model as mine but it is 2 years older than my...

The piston I ordered is technically a piston for a BSA, however, it will work for my bike perfectly. I needed a +.020 piston (20 over the original production size piston) because as the piston goes up...

Yesterday my dad drove me to his friend nate's shop. Nate is the guy we will have paint my fenders and gas tank. We left the tank and fenders with him to sand blast and my dad will pick them up from h...

I only have a frame and some forks from 1978 to start me off so it's not really a rebuild or a restoration. I have no history with the bike, just a burning desire to get this pile of nuts and bolts ba...

The factory manual says that the cam bushings rarely need replacing unless there is very high mileage.  On mine, with the cams installed dry, there was a nice slip fit on the right (big) end, but...

  "Level one, museum-like condition, plus extras" This was how the condition of my 1990 GB500 was described by the previous owner in the Ebay listing. This would turn out to be false. It's been...
