I restoring a Yamaha XS650 and was wondering if there was a company in the GTA that could paint the frame. I have used Powder Coat in the past and it's tough and looks good but I want to try and get it as close to the way it left the factory. Was thinking about POR15 or KBS but I only have a...

I used to have a 2006. As stated All Balls 38-6096 will fit. Also as stated above Racetech can machine a bush that is slightly larger to fit. They were able to machine a set of 37mm to fit a set of old 36mm Suzuki forks for me

Thanks for the comments. That was indeed the thread I was looking for and its great to hear that everything worked out well. Thats an amazing job based on what he started with. I'll reach out to Delboy first. If not I'll try Ross. Connery's will be doing the paint. I really don't want to...

I'm looking for a thread about a guy who did and absolutely amazing repair on an RZ350 gas tank. He ended up spraying it white with just some black stickers. I've been searching for it but can't find it. I have a 1930 Rudge Sport Special that originally belonged to my father in law. I've...

The concept is very cool. Trying to think of a good use case though

RIP Mr. Ford During the ice storm my wife's mother who lives in Scarborough had lost her power and a pipe burst where it entered the house. Norm Kelly her councilor and acting Mayor had buggered of to the Caribbean in the middle of it, but some how she managed to get through to Rob. He had a...

Ended up getting them from the US. All in it was around $420 CDN in savings

Forgot about Dual Sports. I'm in Guelph so it's just down the street. I'll drive over at the weekend. Thanks

Looking for a Jesse dealer in the GTA. Looking for a set of Odyssey II high pipe 10 inch. With the exchange rate they are almost 1400 from the U.S. + shipping and taxes. Wanted to see if they were cheaper locally I already have the Jesse mounts so there is no point buying another brand

FWIW. I had a Mexican built Tacoma. I don't know if it was due to the fact that it was built in Mexico or that the design of the engine is very old/poor but as soon as it was out of warranty I got rid of it. "Toyota Quality", at least on that product line, was a myth. ^^^ I agree with the...

I'm originally from Belfast (obviously) and knew Ray really well when I lived there. He made around 20 EMC framed 500 4 Stroke Yamaha engined bikes with the help of Yamaha Motor Corp. I ended up riding one when I started Motocross. That frame was amazing but unfortunately the Yamaha engine was a...

My Friend. I have worked for Canada Post for 27 years and am a Senior Operations Manager. I can assure you that I don't work for $60k and I don't get paid overtime.

I'm an Operations Manager at Canada Post. If this is happening I would ask you to please pick up the phone and let us know. I get a number of complaints and do take them seriously Do you have a community mail box? Will the packages fit in it? Do the packages need a signature and are you at...

I used to hang out a lot when I had the zx10r. I think all the stats were blown away a few years back I ride a R1200GS. Not a lot of GS or adventure riders on this board. Normally hang out at ADV Rider. I came by today as I got an alert to a RZ350 discussion. Figure I might as well see what's...
