I'll probably start a new thread in General Chat.
I'm interested in putting a professional cad machine together or having someone assemble it for me.
A few of the basic specs I've considered are
AMD FX-9370 w/ water cooling
Asus Sabertooth...
Update:
Cylinder block has been bored to match a set of Wiseco pistons.
Competition Cycle did the machine work.
"Marla" has been disassembled to just the engine and the frame. Getting the engine...
One way to deal with these intersections is with a right-hand turn followed by a u-turn and a second right turn. But some times, the u turn is not practical or legal.
Some of my least favorite...
I constructed a special dolly for Marla. The dolly holds on to the frame of the motorcycle, thus allowing me to remove the wheels, kickstand and center stand, as well as half of the frame, when I...
An important detail about this motorcycle is that I've removed the parts, inspected the parts, reassembled them and managed to get the bike running again.
To me, that is something uncommon.

Bump!
Again:
Can anyone recommend a shop for my engine work?
I bought the engine. I'll get to tearing Marla down later this week.
I'm looking for an engine shop to bore out my cylinders (possibly sleeve). Any recommendations?
You are correct when you say that it will "go forever," but this bike's engine has lost a significant amount of pressure in two of its cylinders.

I agree eleventy thousand percent!!!
One of my buddies has plans for a Mad Max party some time in August. He makes one hell of a Lord Humongous. He's a bit of a leather-fetishits-kinkster, so...

I tore the bike apart and found this. More pics on this later on. That shift for is missing about 3mm of its thickness.
I was spinning my old tire before I replaced it. That tire was about 20 years old and would spin at 50% throttle and low revs in second gear. The lack of throttle-input, alond with the stationary...
Insight:
I thought my clutch was slipping because the engine would spin but the speedo did not change. When mounting the front wheel, I saw that the speedo links to the front wheel. My clutch was...
I drilled out some 1/4 inch washers and shimmed all of the springs, but this made the clutch too heavy to open. I removed half of the shims (3 of 6) and put it all back together.
This bike...
I measured the thickness of the plates on the new clutch and they are only 0.001 off from mine.
I'm thinking that it is either the springs, the cable, or the plates are saturated with "friction...
I was snooping around on Google when I came across a CL add for a CB900c clutch in Sun Prairie. I emailed the guy and he contacted me back 20 minutes later. Two hours later, I bought a complete...
I put some new rubber on the bike.
Aside from the backlash in the drivetrain, nothing feels loose on this bike. Prior to the new tires, the bike felt a bit odd as I entered turns. I thought the...
That name sounds familiar.

The cover of Cafe Racer Magazine states "Drag King: Rickey Gadson's Ten Second CB750." The article says he only hit...
Clutch removal:
I ground down a cheap, old socket and turned it into a lock nut socket. Aside from making the tool, this bike has been easy to work on.

A little more about "Marla":
She smokes...in the morning, after riding for a while, after a good thrashing.
She is modified...i'm not sure what is factory...one mirror is square and the other is...
Hello BCMers.
After nearly 2 years since the loss of my 07 Sportster, I wanted a motorcycle again. I bought a Honda CB900C.

Another update:
Over a period of a few weeks, I JB Welded a stud into the transmission housing (not the engine).
It worked. No more loud thunk. Despite this glorious achievement, I'm ready to...
I found a/the issue...I think.
I was looking at the passenger side engine mount when I noticed that the engine bracket was missing a bolt. Not only was the bolt missing, but the threaded boss on...
I just spent some time under my civic and checked just about everything to see what was loose.
How loose should the inner CV joint be? The entire housing is loose!
There is zero play between...
I replaced the strut bushings on my car. This did eliminate one of the clunking noises that the car made, but the noise that concerns me the most is still present.
I am truly stumped at this...
