Thanks guys for all the feedback. As I mentioned originally I love riding my bike but when it comes to fixing these type of issues I'm pretty useless. This morning I will hook the bike up to a multimeter and see what the battery reads. From all the suggestions I think my best bet is keeping...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone on this forum may be able to help me out. About a month ago I tried to start my bike and the battery seemed dead (nothing turned on). New battery installed last year. I was in a rush so I put the battery on a trickle charger and when I got home from work the...

It was a 4 into 2 exhaust from a 77 honda cb550 and the price was $300. Best price I could find by far. He made a mistake with the pricing and he said regular pricing is $350 but because he quoted $300 he would honour it. Take that for what it's worth.

So I got my pipes back from Rice Rocket and they did a great job. Hopefully these are as durable as everyone says. It took them a bit longer than they promised but overall I'm happy with the experience.

Flat black which should look pretty nice. Hopefully they do a good job.

Thanks for all the info guys. Exhaust was dropped off to Rice Rocket this past weekend. I should have it back within a week. I'll keep you guys updated once I get everything back.

Anyone else? All these places are so far from the GTA.

Hi everyone. I have a 77 cb550 and the 4 into 2 exhaust was painted with high heat paint maybe 2 years ago and it's starting to come off in certain places (at the top mostly). I'm thinking I want something a bit more permanent and I thought ceramic coating would be the best option. That being...

So the hose for my crankcase filter broke (burnt actually) and I'm trying to find a new heater hose that will attach to the filter and the vent case on my bike. I can't seem to find this hose anywhere. I think the inner diameter needs to be 12mm. I may need an elbow or straight connector as...

This is not how the shocks were before I went over the bump. Everything was sitting higher but since then it's like the shocks are compressed or have given out.

I didn't realize these were aftermarket. Good to know. When the backside of the bike lowered it also blew a fuse so I'm assuming under the seat / rear fender a wire may have come loose so at this point the bike won't turn on and the backside is basically resting on the rear wheel. The guy who...

Here's a pic showing how low everything is sitting now.

I don't know much about bikes but basically I went over a speed bump and the bike died or blew a fuse (main fuse was blown). When I got off the entire back section of the bike was much lower and almost sitting on the rear wheel. I assume the short happened when the wires for the rear light...

Where's the best place to get the Hagon's where I won't have to pay a ton for duty and shipping?

What about any of the shocks from dime city? There seems to be quite a few for around $100-$200 a pair.

Hi everyone, So after the electrical problems I had with this bike I now have a new issue. Driving today and went over a speed bump and it looks like the rear shocks have given out. Back of the bike is almost touching the rear tire. Anyone have experience with this and can someone recommend a...

So my friend just came by and it looks like the problem is fixed. There were 2 wires that came loose from the rear light that looked like they burnt and were stuck together. He re-wired them and it seemed to do the trick. I think this happened when I tried to take my rear fender and make it...

Wow that would be awesome. I just PM'd you.

Wow lots of comments, thank you. I have to be honest. At this point based on where we are in the season I just want the bike fixed asap so I can at least get some riding in before the season is over. After that I have no issue trying to learn as much as I can about the bike and it sounds like...

Thanks I'll have to check that out. Gauge is this one - http://www.dimecitycycles.com/2-5-inch-black-mini-speedometer-with-black-face-and-led-indicator-lights.html
