I've been thinking about buying a used yamaha virago 535 1992 and I don't really know what to look out for or what to take in consideration when buying one. Any tips would be appreciated.

I'm wanting to build a choper/ custom motorcycle, I have the bike already and it runs, I've rode it all sumer but am wanting to make it special such as hardtailing it and making it mine i guess.

I'm in utah, ogden area I live in a an partment so don't have much room to work with but do have all my own tools to fully tear it down and 240 power for my welder and have already rebuilt the bike from when i got it, from the 80s so nothing to crazy. Just need some one who has more experience then me to give me some pointers on my journey.

I can pay for your time/ experience.

I can have it bare frame by my self and fully ready for someone to give me some inspiration, I'm not the best with electrical but everything works wiring wise just not the tail light for some reason. It's mostly stock.

If interested in helping please let me know how by commenting thanks.

My dad used to own this, he build it himself. I know it's an BMW boxer engine but can't figure out the exact type or pretty much all other parts. I'd be happy If some of y'all could help me out on this one.

(2005 honda shadow aero 750) recently re jet removed and plugged everything that I could. Added ais cover plates and velocity stack. Bike won’t stay on without choke, have the Tj brutal air/fuel mixture screw and no matter how many turns I do it still does the same thing. When I give a lot of throttle it Boggs then all of the sudden lets the bike rev (only with choke on still) oil smells like some fuel is in it too.

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

The potential for this is everywhere. If the idea in my head goes smooth in reality, she's going to be an attention hire🤣

Z400 I built some years ago.

First time bobber project. Looking to bob a 2015 Suzuki Boulevard C50 using a Blue Collar Bobbers kit but I also wanted to swap out the OEM spoked wheels for alloys. The C50 has a direct drive shaft and I am completely lost when it comes to looking for wheels and where to even buy them. I think my struggle is that I am filtering for my bike specifically and getting nothing. Does anyone have any advice on good websites to use? Should I be filtering for my bike? Is there any indicators on if the rims are meant for a specific driveshaft (belt,chain, direct). Anything helps and thanks in advance.
