Hi All,
New to the forum, new to bikes and all things motorcycle related, but I try not to let that slow me down.
Traded coffee beans and cash for a 2018 Rebel 500 (ABS). Very nice bike...
I've got a 1979 CB400T (5000 miles on the odo, $350), I'm in the process of redoing. Painted the frame, engine, wheels, Fairings (Starburst Orange Metallic), redoing the seat, put nice Shinko tires on it, gonna make it a scramble or sorts, but am leaving the seat original and not installing a hoop and chopping it up. Working on a carb issue, but it runs. Rebuilding the front forks at the moment.
Just picked up a 1972 (build date 6/71) (8500 on the odo, $250) CB500E. Missing seat/tank/farings. Lots taken off of it and zero history on it, but most of it's there. Got an issue with reading 60psi on all cylinders unless i put oil in them, then it goes to 125 or so. Gonna post a question about that. Chrome is great, wheels are great, pretty much all original, so I'm on the fence about how I want it (I will replace the handlebars for sure). But it has the potential to be a very nice bike.
Also have a 2016 Chinese Hawk 250, which was trashed and now rebuilt, looks and runs great.
Got a Yamaha PW80 I rebuilt for the granddaughters and a Chinese 110 pit bike I picked up dirt cheap and got running.
The wife has a Benelli TnT135 (Honda Grom like, but faster).
So I thought I'd introduce myself and start picking your brains...
