    Chinese Fork Tubes

    Anyone ever use them? I'd like an objective opinion from someone that has actually bought/used them. I'm building a CB750k and there is a Canadian company on Ebay that distributes them - vintagecb750online. He seems to get good ratings 99.3%. would just like some independent feedback Thanks

    Officially Unemployed

    Well, after 20 years with the RCAF Friday was my last day. It feels strange but it was time. The last 18 months have been a bit of a death march. Anyway. I have a few off before I start something new so we are heading to New Zealand for a 8 weeks. I rented a R1200GS for some of the thie. Will...

    Front end chatter/handlebar oscillation in corner

    I've just restored a 81 GPZ550 (the twin shock model) and am really enjoying riding it. I had one as my first ever bike and its bringing back so many good memories. Having said that I have one issue. If I'm following a car or another vehicle into a corner and can't get on the gas immediately I...

    Piston Ring Compressor

    On the home stretch with my GPZ550 restore. Had the cylinders honed with new rings and need to get it assembled The smallest ring compressor we have at work is 4 inches. I need about 2.4/60mm inches. Is there anywhere in the GTA I can buy these? Or does someone have a set they would be willing...

    Caliper dust boots

    Really dumb question. I'm restoring an old GPZ 550 and am in the process of rebuilding the calipers. Is there a simple trick to getting the dust boot installed? I can't get it into the groove in the caliper body. I did my F800 calipers in the winter an it was simple. Any pointers would be...

    Removing Powder Coat

    Mods, feel free to move if this is not the right place. I picked up a Yamaha TT500 that I'm in the process of rebuilding. I always liked them, my uncle had one when I was a kid, and the price was right. The previous owner powder coated the frame and swing arm bright purple. It looks like a...

    Powder Coating Engine Cases

    I bought a 1982 GPz750 in the fall. It's looks rough but the engine only has 14k miles. I cleaned out the carbs and gas tank and it runs like a top. I did a leak down test and the top end seems really good. The only problem is that it does have the 2nd gear problem that needs to be fixed so it...

    Dining around Los Angles Airport

    OK. I know this is a bit of a long shot and a very strange question but my wife and I are going to Maui for our 10th anniversary and Air Canada are having us stop over at LAX for the night. In all fairness to them they are paying for the hotel so they stepped up and did the right thing. It's a...

    Worst case of road rage I have ever seen.

    I was at a friend’s house in Whitby. He lives on Brock just south of the 401 so I’m riding up Brock to get back on the highway to go into Toronto. There is a guy in front in a black Mazda with his wife and kids, we are in the right lane and there is a pickup in the left lane level with the...

    Opinions on Distanza's

    I've been using TCK80's lately but am planning a trip out east in late May and early June and was thinking about the Distanza's. Looking for a tire that's a little more highway friendly but might be up for a little bit of a little light off-roading. Thoughts? BTW. The bike is a F800GSA if it...

    Veterans Emergency Transitions Services

    Guys, I'm in the RCAF and have been involved with the VETS group for a few years - http://vetscanada.org/ Its a non-political, non-sectarian organization that helps people that served our country and who in turn now need help themselves. The situation for many of these people is dire. Many...

    Rear Shock Rebuild

    Hello All. I have a RM250Z that I use mainly just for pottering around in the Ganny. Its the 2 stroke Enduro bike, not the RM-Z250 MX Bike. I rebuilt the motor over the winter but I noticed that the rear shock seals were weeping a little and that there is a pit on the shaft. Can someone...

    White Power Suspension

    No, I haven't joined the Aryan Brotherhood, although I do have the facial hair for it at the moment. Rather, I have a 1985 RZ500 that has a White Power shock. Its a great unit but the seal is leaking. I had it rebuilt in 2001 and I guess after 15 years it owes me nothing. The company was sold...
