I'v seen a few guys with what look like DIY trailers riding downtown. Has anyone here made their own? I'm toying with the idea of building something to tow the minibike/camping luggage with my Magna. Obviously safety is a concern, my welds are good and not looking to do this on the cheap. Any...

How would I go about finding how many of a certain bike were built? I've gotten as far as knowing my bike was the 5899th made in 1984, but I haven't found any info to show how many were actually made.

I was inches away from being crushed between an F-150 and a Chevy Cruze on the 404 today around 5pm. Typical 404 northbound traffic, I was in the HOV lane riding pretty close to the line like I usually do. A man came up beside me and said he thinks the guy behind me is drunk, I unplugged my...

Quick question, I want to replace my 30+ year old fuel lines with something more modern that can deal with ethanol fuel. I understand the o-rings and such in the carbs are probably made from the same old rubber, and they will be replaced with a full carb service at the end of this season. My...

My cheapo Ebay masters worked for a bit, but the clutch side has started to bind and grind a bit, polluting my fluid. I reverse bled the slave so there's no shmoo in my system, but it can't stay like that forever. Brake side still seems to be working well. Anyone have an old one sitting around...

My 5 y/o son recently started asking to come on my bike, so we bought him a helmet and gloves a few weeks ago. We've been over the 'rules' many times: Always hold on tight, lean with me in the corners, never be silly and never be scared. We went on our first ride yesterday and he had a blast...

I bought a 1984 V30 Honda Magna with 43k early April this year after selling my first bike, a 2015 CBR300R. I had put ~35000km on in 2 seasons and decided I wanted something a bit older I could fix up and mod a little bit. I waited until I found a bike that sounded and ran very strong, with...

Had a bit of an issue with my paint today, I did 3 coats primer 4 coats black a few days ago and it came out beautiful. Went to clear it today and it resisted terribly even after a proper cleaning. Did the same when I resprayed one part black too. Need to sand and reprime/paint it all in 1...

34 years, OEM fluids in an 84 Magna V30. After a full flush they feel like new!

Getting my bike certified this week before the sale. Have a couple questions about what they will allow: Aftermarket slip-on allowed? I could bring OEM to swap in if required. OEM has CC, aftermarket doesn't. Do I need reflectors? Do they need to be in factory positions or can I use stick-on's...

Looking to upgrade my bike within the next month or so. Still owe about 900$. Is it acceptable to put the bike up for sale (with full disclosure of still owing $$), then get a statement from Honda saying exactly whats owed, then meet the buyer at the bank and have him write up a draft to Honda...

I have some Barnett clutch springs to put in my bike and was gonna do it today with some fresh oil. It looks pretty straight forward but I cant figure out if I will need to drain the coolant or not. I'll be removing the right crank case cover and it contains the water pump, not sure if it will...

I changed my sprockets and am adding one link to my chain. I've got it all together just fine but I don't have a flaring tool to make the 4 flares on the pins I removed and reinstalled. Do I need to re-flare them, and does anyone have an idea of a diy tool or some way I can modify my chain...

I need 1.5" solid delrin rod for some custom slider plugs. I only need about a foot in total, maybe 2 if I make a new design later. I'm having trouble finding a small amount like that locally and most the websites I found charge crazy shipping or won't sell that small amount. Any ideas?

I've got these nice leather gauntlet gloves that I've been wearing the past 10k. They're starting to get a little stiff after I leave them overnight. My last pair of leather gloves did this and I ruined them when I washed them (my fault, too rigorous and too strong a detergent). Whats the proper...

So I moved earlier this year, now I'm parking the bike on the asphalt most of the time instead of gravel. The kickstand has started to put a few dents into the ground and I feel this is going to get worse over the summer. I've also got lots of drips and stains from lubing chain and cleaning...

My motor blew at about 19k due to recall issue. They replaced my motor and rebuilt my tranny and all has been well since. My manual says a valve check is needed at 24k, which I've hit last week. I'm just wondering, would they have adjusted them when they changed the block? I "think" the head is...

I need to get a new chain, my bike takes a 520x108 O-ring type. My question is would it be worth changing to an X or Z ring type? What's the difference and does anyone have one they would recommend? I prefer a gold finish, budget around $150. Bike is a 2015 CBR300R, tensioners are at max with...

Anyone here ride mtb or bmx? I rode flatland and park from the time I was about 13-18, took a 8 year hiatus and today I picked up a brand new 21" Premium Duo. I took it to the little concrete park here in Keswick and tried to get some muscle memory back and was just flooded with memories. I used...
