Any Recommendations? I used to use CBI. Are they still OK? Thanks

Hello, Its been a while since I posted. The company I worked for in Toronto went under a few years ago, so I went "walkabout" with my wife for a while. I then ended up doing some consulting with the company that had bought the assets, so I spent the last year or so in Cambridge MA. I though I...

Its not specifically Motorcycle related and I'm not associated with these guys but I normally buy all my truck stuff from them. They ship from Toronto, shipping is always free and its normally next or second day delivery. Prices are really good, typically won't find cheaper on line and since i...

Well, finally broke down and bought one. Both my kids are gone and since June 30th I'm semi retired so I wanted something I can just strap the GS into and take off with the wife. Heading out to west coast Canada and US this week and returning Labour Day. Really looking forward to it :)

<rant> Is it just me or is Canada post getting worse and worse. Had a friend mail me the same thing 3 times. They lost the first 2 and damaged the third. I had a guy in Ottawa email me a caliper bracket on May 16th. I asked him to track it as I needed it quickly. The box showed up this...

This story is true. Nothing has been changed to protect the innocent. I e-filed my and my wife’s 2015 tax return in March of 2016. My wife’s was processed and sent back within 2 weeks. I received my assessment in May. They had somehow overlooked the fact that I was married and withheld $3600...

Sorry its not motorcycle related but my son is getting his G1 in a couple of weeks. I was just on the phone with TD and they said that no insurance company will add a G1 driver to a policy as a second driver, BUT he is (supposedly) already covered under my insurance as I'm giving him...

Mods, feel free to move is this is not the right section I bought a Suzuki X7 back in the summer and its in a bit of a sorry state. I've had the chassis parts sandblasted and have those in primer but I'm now working on the engine. Its crusted with oil and crud and there a lot of gas residue...

Not sure where to post this but feel free to move. I've started on a father and son winter project and the bike came with a Wolf Exhaust (Gary Wolf from Guelph) that was supposed to be a decent pipe back in the day. Its in great shape but something has fallen against the can crushing the...

Can this be right? I live in the sticks and use Bell DSL. It sucks. If i run a speed test I typically get around 3Mbps down and around 600Kbps up. My Bell service had been down for 2 days so I'm using my PC tethered to my Rogers phone. I'm getting 12Mbps down and 2.5Mbps up. I'm pretty...

My son has been racing a 1978 RM400 at some vintage races this year and is going to rebuild it over the winter. Back in the day JT used to do a frame brace kit for the RM370 and 400 that consisted of a few rods, one or which was welded above the swingarm pivot with 2 smaller ones triangulating...

Any recommendations for someone in the GTA who does this? It has to be industrial Hard Anodizing, not the decorative stuff for billet. I need to get the inside of a pair of fork legs done and its very expensive to send to Racetech since the Canadian $ is now in the toilet :-(

I just came back from 2 weeks in Ireland where we hired some bikes and toured around. We went to the Armoy road races - which is a whole other thread :) - and stayed in a B&B where I came across 1981 Suzuki X7. I've always loved them so I bought it. For 75 pounds I thought it was a good deal...

I'm restoring a 1977 KZ650. I managed to find a used Kerker on eBay for a later model and took a chance and bought it. The header fits perfectly but muffler is touching the swinger. I need the collector pipe bent about Half an inch to clear it. Could an muffler shop do this? I was also...

I've been restoring a KZ650 and now I'm getting to the hard part. The forks are quite badly pitted so I've been on the lookout for a good set but have not been able to find anything. I think I have a few other options. I can get aftermarket tubes, but the consensus on the KZ board is that...

Anyone ever purchased stuff from Partszilla. What was the experience like and who did they use to ship? TIA

Just got an engine kit in blue for my RZ350 motor - https://www.pro-bolt.com/aluminium-engine-kit-rd350-ypvs-race-spec-7.html - and a bunch of other titanium bits and pieces to put my RD/RZ hybrid together. Not cheap, but not overly expensive either. Quality is first rate and shipping only took...

Got my renewal from TD yesterday. It went from $926 to $1640. That's about a 70% increase. Nothing has changed. It's still the same bike, I still live in the same house, I'm really, really old, I've been a customer since 2003 and I've never had a claim in my life. I did call and she gave me...

Anyone know where to get them, preferably in the east end? TIA

We just got our bonus amounts at work and the company had a very good year, so what better way to celebrate than to head down to California at the end or March or in early April for 4 weeks, rent bikes and blow it all. As the song goes, "I'm here for a good time, not a long time" :) Has anyone...
