If a left hand nut is involved everything is left handed; mirror thread, nut and jam nut…

Waiting on 3 months of cardiac open heart surgery rehab to get back on the 700. Should happen real soon…

I bought a 74cb550 from the only PO. He named her Heidi. I felt obligated to put her name on a Barber license plate.

Well I left the nc700 in the basement and went and bought this 1974 Honda CB550. It was a find but it wasn't in a barn.

Just installed a T-Rex skid plate on my 2017nc700. Looks great. Now waiting on my"Pretender" sticker for the windshield...

Looks like you have seen this before; Givi engine guard, inexpensive pegs... they can be reached while underway...can prevent the old legs from seizing up...

Great article...thanks...

I have a 1972 Yamaha DS7 cafe racer. The engine as far as I know has not had any work done for its 13,000 or so miles. When I was building the bike I found that the output shaft seal was leaking. I thought about replacing it but realized that it was leaking just the right amount of oil to keep...

Congrats. There can be no regrets buying a new motorcycle...

You may have made the purchase already, but the price would be/was the only issue. I bought a new 2017 in 2019, manual tran for $5700, from a dealer.
