Hey everyone! Just picked up a 93 BMW K1100 and am starting in on the cafe conversion. I’m stuck at the moment due to not having facilities available to cut and weld in a frame loop and seat bracket. Anyone out there that would be willing to help me out or know of a shop that can? Happy to pay for services and materials, of course. Worth noting I’m a very very amateur welder due to the lack of facilities, so I’ll need some help on that front too. TIA!!

My query is regarding the best recommended for Suzuki Access 125. As far as I got, 10 W 30 or 10 W 40 JASO MA (MA1/MA2) grade Engine Oil is good for the scooter. However when visited the authorised Service Centre, due to non-availibility they poured MOTUL make SCOOTER EXPERT LE 4T 10 W 30, JASO MB Engine Oil. I got the Suzuki Access 125 has a Wet Clutch. Would it be bad for the scooter? Also kindly advise the recommended interval for Engine Oil change interms of both Kilometer range and time period.

Has Somone found winter types for virago 1995 1100?

Or do you Know what size car tyre that would fit?

I added a push button starter with an in-line fuse to my virago as a spare (ran hot to solenoid) as a back up because sometimes my main starter button doesnt work. Went well for weeks, but i changed my crashbars and pinched my wire without knowing it and when i tried my original starter a few times my headlight and neutral light went out and never came back on. i blew the inline fuse after that before i realized my wire was pinched. I fixed the hot wire i ran and the bike will turn over fine, but my headlight and neutral light are still off as if im holding in my original starter button and i cant get the bike to fire with the hotwire anymore. but did have it running after a coast start.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been wrenching on Honda Shadows for a while now and finally decided to put together a website called Fuji Choppers. It’s totally free and designed to help people get into customizing their Honda Shadow 600s and turning them into choppers. Whether you’re just getting started or already deep into your build, the site’s got guides, tips, and general advice to make things easier for everyone in the community.

It’s nothing flashy—just a chill spot with straightforward info, from carb tuning and wiring to tank swaps and hardtail guides. If you’re into chopping Shadows or just want to see what it’s about, feel free to check it out. Would love to hear any feedback or ideas you think could make it better!

Also, if you’ve got a sick build going on, I’d love to feature it on the site and give you a shout-out! Let me know what you’re working on!

Ride on,
Jaedon

There is no current way for me to tie my drum brakes to my forks on my bike, and I am looking to buy proper suspension forks for my bike, but I cant find any that accomodate a 17" rim with drum brakes. I am open to DIYing this just to see if it can work but would i be able to weld a small steel cylinder to the fork where that screw hole is and use the front brake hub on it or are there any other options for forks?

...if there are anyone from EU in this sub.

How does this work legally. Could somebody chime in with what goes intoxmaking project bike road legal, or in which member state its easiest to accomplish?

Yes, i am familiar with the "i hears its impossible"...

But sadly market lacks any electric machine with decent aerodynamic, so the only way to get one is to get one's hands dirty. I am simply unsure how much of a kerfuffle would it be to hqve it road legal.

Little mock-up of what its going to look like. Main changes currently are replacing the front forks for ones with suspension, changing the seat, welding a rear support bracket for the seat and painting. Still trying to figure out how to properly mount the front drum brake, I believe it should have a spot that slots into the fork but I still don't know. At the point where almost everything looks like it will work together now going to build it to run before I install gauges and electronics and such.

I lost some small parts that came with a ZTTO brake caliper that I bought from AliExpress. I found the rubber and the M6 ​​bolt, but I couldn't find the washer that holds the wire (I don't know the exact name of the part). Can you tell me the name of the washer part? Or if you know of a washer part that is listed on AliExpress, can you tell me?

Hi all! I need an advice.

I am trying to modify my kawasaki w800 from 2012.

What I am struggling to do is the tachometer swap. I hate the original one, I would want a smaller one.

The problem is I don't know which one to buy. I made an error buying a digital mechanic tachometer and I realized the original one has just electronic connection, no mechanical wire to read km.

I am really struggling to understand which one can I buy.
Can you guys give me some models or links to tachometer that work plug and play with just digital connections?

Are there different categories in regards to what type of an exhaust pipe can fit or is suitable for an Enduro/Dual-Sport motorcycle? Are exhausts for this type of motorcycles falling into one category, and are there variations in regards to the shape of the exhaust, displacement-specific exhausts, riding style, etc?

Also, in terms of how loud the motorcycle exhaust is or how "spiky" it becomes during acceleration? Which exhaust types are more "spiky" during acceleration and which exhaust types are more on the bass side?

There is a local motorcycle shop that is selling Zongshen motorcycles which are somewhere in the between of an Enduro and Dual-Sport motorcycle, and there is a specific 300cc model whose exhaust pipe' sound is kind of aggressive or "spiky" during acceleration. Are mufflers applicable in such situations and are they related to sound output? What is the difference between a motorcycle silencer and a DB killer? Is every exhaust pipe suitable so that a silencer or a DB killer can be installed on it? Thanks in advance

Edit: Here is an image of the exhaust (https://imgur.com/screenshot-xzxXp4y)

I have a pretty simple question. My local Dealer insisted that I should install the body-kit on the Suzuki Access 125 Ride Connect Edition supplied by the Dealer. While I was a bit hesitant initially, but later I installed this. But later I have found out that they have drilled the front fender while installing the steel make body-kit. I don't know how far it will save the scooty from scratches and minor dents. I have chekced the websites about the tentative price of the front and rear fender, it should be around Rs. 1800/- with labour charges, don't know if they are covered under first-party warranty.

The price of the body-kit charged by the Dealership is around Rs. 2200/-. First Party insurance charged around Rs. 6000/-.

I guess this is the trick of squeezing an unsuspecting customer's money.

Still wondering what is the benefit of installing a crash-guard or body-kit on a scooty? Afterall, joints will become loose and also become noisy. Secondly, God forbids, if the scooty falls for any reasons it won't be saved from dents and scratches. Then it has to be sent for insurance claim.

But there is an obvious prevalence on the road of the body-kit/ crash-guard fitted scooties. Anyone please willing to explain the benefits or demerits of installing body-kits/ crasjh-guards on a scooty? I am somewhat regretting as they have drilled the brand-new scooty while fitting the body-kit/ crash-guard. I did not know that drilling was necessary. I thought the the screw-grooves would do the task and no unnecessary drilling would be required.

Howdy! I’ve got a project 1983 V45 Magna and the fuel tank that came on it was wrecked, as was the sub fuel tank underneath the seat. I’m looking to Frankenstein this bike since it’s all a hodge podge anyways - i need a fuel tank with an 8.5-9 inch tunnel width and I’m looking for ideas. Any make. Any model. Hit me with em

Hi, I’m looking to attach a solid square top box to a Honda CG 125 ‘08. I am not sure which metal bracket I need to attach to the bike, please could someone advise.

I would appreciate any suggestions for a square top box too.

Thanks in advance.

My motorbike is going to have a 17x3.5 rear rim and I havent been able to find a tire for it amywhere online, and when I thought I ordered a set with a 3.00 and 3.50 thick tire, the dealer contacted me and said they had no stock of the 3.50 and dont know when another will come in stock. I called and they said some rims had some wiggle room with tire sizes and said my rim might be able to get away with having a 3.25" tire instead of the 3.5". The tube I have for the rear tire is good for a 3.5" to a 4.1" tire, according to the listing. Please have some grace, as I am new to bike building and tires especially, but am just wondering if something like that could work. Thank you guys in advance.
