Man there are some beautiful bikes in here, i guess i'll post my turd up.

Recently acquired this from a close friend in a trade. He built it all from a mint stock bike.

1978 Honda CB550K

Tarozzi clip-ons
Giuliari custom seat
Dynatek Dyna S digital ignition
Dynatek Coils
Dynatek 8mm wires
Dime City Cycles CNC Bar end mirrors
Caferacer.net Aluminum headlight brackets
HELUSA Custom steel braided brake line with built in adapter ( vintage black)
Rebuilt front brake Caliper
Rebuilt brake master cylinder
Rubuilt front forks
Rubber Fork gaiters
New All Ballz wheel bearings
Cateye L.E.D brake light
Sealed Glass Mat battery






Only real plans i have for it are to relocate the battery and all of the wiring/relays to the hollow space in the seat over the rear tire, ditch the side panels and clean that area up, and put some uni pod filters on it.

Looks awesome and I love that seat!

Is that a Z yard? What's the deal with the Triumph?

[TooSlowToCare]

I work at a nissan/datsun specialty shop, those are all parts cars in the back. We have somewhere around 12 z32's, and probably 5 or 6 s30's around the shop. The triumph is a customer's car that we have done an absurd amount of work to for it to still be a stock tr6. Literally every time we fix something, something else breaks/shorts out. I hate that car with the passion only a mother with a ginger baby could feel.

Went to the Vintage Motorcycle festival at Barber Motorsports Park last weekend and saw some stuff. Fancy Ducati:




One of my favorite bikes was this one built by a 22 yo kid. I may have to whip up something like this myself, seriously badass. Frame and engine are suzuki savage.

Here is my '83 xj550. The tank was recently painted BMW british racing green.

Sure is. Only has about 50hp but it scoots pretty good because it's a close-geared 6-speed.
