got my antique motorcycle plates today rode around the block a couple before work something is off it's like I am not getting enough gas like she bogs down coming off a full stop or when I roll on the throttle, then; it will jolt to a roar.... mess with it manana with George it could just be a fuel line deal
finished the seat situation its getting remade out of aluminum or SS and lowered in time..

now it goes into the stock location

OG oil cooler

something like that


don't think my chain guard will work with these rear shocks

anyone been stopped for riding with a antique plate in Texas?

anyone know anyone who paints/pinstripes/airbrushes in Houston

One of the coolest license plate ideas I've heard:  If your bike is considered "antique", you can get a plate from the year of your bike/car/whatever and register with that.  So, mine's a '75, so I can get a NOS or used '75 plate, take it in, and register the plate to the bike.  Government working for you, instead of against you, for a change!

I see antique car plated cars and trucks on the road almost every weekend, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Only thing is i know in ohio antique plates are only good to go to shows, club meetings and to a shop. You can get a ticket for just running up the street. I got antique plates on my 68 chevy with year model plates that were my great grandpas and when i got them they warned me i could get a ticket.

rim from eBay seven star from Europe paid like some euros for it! came from switzerland or somthing couldn't find the matching front but I kinda like the spokes up front
still the back is a 16 instead of 17 so it kind of wierd cuz I have rode the bigger size for so long;  but it feels like I can lean her over in the turns and curves a bit better
the tire is awsome BT45 hell ya
its just about broke in I''ll get the front on soon

Well worth the money if you ask me. I bet she leans better in the corners.

Nice work..

Just saw your thread, I'll bet Holly will spank most of the shiny bikes you see around here.  If you see Kay, tell her,  "If it works good, it looks good."

Another 750?!?!  That's Great!  We still need to get together so you can check out my (3) CB350's.  And I have a confession.  I just picked up a '75 Yamaha 125 enduro last weekend.

Cheers!  Let's grab some beers.
