Unfortunately people seem to want stupid amounts of money for used bikes in Alberta. Not sure why they think they are worth more in this province...
The fairing does have a square headlight. It also mounts directly to the frame so you would have to make custom mounts if you could make it fit....
Looking good. Have a pair of XJ750RL's myself. One has 70,000kms on it,the other has over 100,000 but is in need of full restoration. These rare...
I run the Battlax BT45's on all my bikes. Have been very happy with them. A good all around tire. :D
Believe it is. Think it was 83 or 84 when they sorted out that issue.
Look at the number of wires coming out of the front signal lights. 2 wires = no running lights. 3 wires = running lights.
I run the Bridgestone Battlax BT45's on my bikes. Been pretty happy with them. Seem to be a pretty good all round tire. :D
Well it's not quite at Invermere but a nice little ride away. There is a new event this year at Salmon Arm, B.C. called Sturgis North. Open to all...
Just checked my Clymer shop manual that I have for my 1981 CB400T Hawk and bigfitz52 is correct in that the CM's and CB's used the same motor and...
You are very welcome. I needed to go out and make sure the bikes were doing alright out there anyway. Would be better to be able to ride them...
Ok pmjydnl you owe me for this one. lol Cold, dark and snowy outside but managed to fight my way to the front of the shed and get the best pic I...
Best shots that I have. 1984 XJ750RL. Not sure how much difference there is on the frames as the 84 XJ750RL used the Seca 900 frame.
Idiots like that just give the people that ride responsibly a bad name. And they wonder why people in cars get mad at people on bikes. Have no use...
Looks great. Hoping to get my non-running one going this winter.
Have had no issues getting parts for my 81 CB400T. Motor was made from 78 to 81 where it still carried on in 450 form for a couple more years. As...
Suggest you put an e-mail watch on e-bay for FJ600's so you get an e-mail every day with new listings. Was one on there about a week ago that was...
I just sandblasted my exhaust system before painting it with Hi-temp black. Seems to be holding up quite well.
Pulled the starter off and cleaned out all the gunk. Wow, what a difference in cranking speed now. Have a rebuild kit coming for it though as the...
Did you take the guy's advice and check the original stator out with a meter? If it checks out, check all connections to make sure they are tight...
Re: Maxim X - NEW Tire installation....Is it really a DIY..? :D
Yes, pushing it down gets it to the smaller diameter part of the rim and gives you a little more room to play when prying on the last bit. Hope my...
Re: Maxim X - NEW Tire installation....Is it really a DIY..? Make sure the part of the tire you already have on is not up on the bead but pushed...
My 87 ZX750F seems to be a bit sticky even after sitting for just a couple of days. Always have to make sure I give it a little extra gas in the...
Search E-Bay or other sources for 1978-80 CM400T parts as anything your looking for should be common with the model that had the regular...
Ahhh, that explains it. I was in the ride for sight one year with my old Honda 550-4. When we stopped to all meet up to line up for the parade...
Sounds like it would have been easier to tap on the side of the float bowl with a small hammer than wrestling the bike on and off the centerstand...
Do you guys know of an easy way of balancing a wheel... I had new tires installed and the local shop did it all by hand and has no balancer.... i...
Sounds just like living in Alberta. :lol:
Greetings. Hmmmm, I do still have that second 1984 XJ750RL to get running for myself. Gave the nice one to my Ex because she was bugging me to get...
My Ninja was only running on 2 cylinders when I first got it. Was getting spark on all 4,according to numbers on the wires they were all going to...
If it's the bike I'm thinking of here is the link for the ad. http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicle ... Z186050371
You must be looking at the bike for sale on Kijiji in Calgary. Looks to be in nice shape minus the whole not running thing. Got a watch on that ad...
Just curious as to how the transaction went as I've been a little leery of ordering from Thailand. I guess as long as they have a good feedback...
I have decided for now to just try and upgrade the 6 volt system. I have a 6 volt regulator/rectifier coming that I bought on E-bay from a 1980...
Got Bridgestones on all my bikes. Been very happy with them.
Replace the valve stems with the proper type for sure. That front set up is just an accident waiting to happen.
Sweet.
I was looking around today too and it looks like the 80-82 parts would bolt right up. Might be some minor wiring differences to sort out but...
Been thinking of doing the same thing to mine. Don't forget to switch the condensor from a 6 volt to a 12 volt one. I have owned mine since new...
Happy New Year from western Canada eh! :)
> Where can you find these bikes that cheap? This girl > is just dusty. Shines up pretty than your mother's > nuts and is a great bike. Most...
You do some great looking work Wizard. 8)
Re: Who still has their first bike? Ever think about selling Still have my first true street bike. It would be my 1978 Honda 185 Twinstar....
Castrol Grand Prix motorcycle oil. 20w50 in my 750 Ninja and 10w40 in the XJ.
:D Sweet find. Enjoy that bike.
Stop yelling. lol
DAMN, in Alberta I pay $100 for pl,pd, with $1,000,000 coverage on my 1987 750 Ninja. Plates are just under $50. Cost me the same for my Honda...
Enjoy that Ninja. It's refreshing to hear someone that is not stuck in the bigger is better mentality a lot of people suffer from in North...
Seem to recall reading that the CX500's were bad for going through alternators. Don't know if the 650's had the same problem or not. I would do a...
Sweet bike. Great job. 8)
