Been thinking of going to randakk dual carbs but also considering the single carb conversion. already rebuilt my originals, and had it piss gas on the right, found the problem, tiny O ring that didn't come with the kits. started it up this year after storage, and it started pissing gas from the...

i just keep throwing more money at upgrading Bear, soon he will be a brand new bike. but next on my list is replacing the rear air shocks, which i have wanted to do for a while now anyways, never was a fan of them, and they are starting to go and not hold air overnight. so, wanted to upgrade to...

I am looking at upgrading my handlebars to be a little taller, and with that, need to upgrade the clutch and throttle cable and such. when it comes to these, what do i look for, for it to work? i know almost nothing about the ends and such so not sure what i am looking for other then length of...

Is there anything i need to look for when shopping for a new master cylinder other then it fit a 7/8" bar? mine is that old plastic that is pretty badly sun damaged and is flaking off so i thought it would be nice to update the whole thing.

I rebuilt my carbs last year, not a problem, no leaks. but finally was warm enough to do that i wanted to get bear out. they are leaking fuel from the fuel crossover, so need to find the o-rings for it. but i don't know what size, or part number just for those.

I'm wanting to change the style of handlebars on Bear, but not sure what to get yet. was thinking of going with mini ape hangers, I'm somewhat tall (compared to alot of people) and having bars up the my chest roughly would be comfortable i think, but also don't want to spend a ton of money...

went out to a salvage yard looking for parts for my classic car, and came across an old, i believe 78 GL1000, guy said its all there, even though a lot of pieces are off the bike, and his brother just wants to get rid of it. im not sure if i should, although price is awesome, he wanted to sell...

so, decided it was time to update some stuff. already did the back tail lights, rebuilt the carbs, about to re-build the front brake calipers. but what comes next, need to upgrade the handlebars. they have been slightly bent since i bought the bike, and the grip strips where it mounts are...

Alright, so my plan is change out the stock (but cut) pipes I have on bear right now, but I remember some people kept telling me that I couldn't unless I had a certain kit for them. As far as I knew, the back pressure would not matter for anything. Not saying I am going to, but just to make...

Was about to pull my rear tire off, but forgot how to get the damn brake caliper off, I thought there was a way to do it without bleeding the line, help?

time to change out the tires, and last time I had the shop do it (since I had the money then) but now my wallet tells me it is time to do it myself again. I am having a hard time remembering what all needs to be torqued down when I put the wheel back on, and to what Ft LBS, anyone know? Bear...

So seems the back side of my radiator is damaged somehow, and I have a leak somewhere out the top I can't seem to pin point so I'm needing to replace it, is it best to get a new one or would I be fine buying used from places like ebay? That is if the yard doesn't have one

ok, so I am wondering if the two are connected. But after my first coolant flush (had to do a few with in a month because of one thing or an other) Bear started idling higher. I know it has been hot, but lately even during the cool nights the bike seems to be a lot hotter then it should be. the...

I am very tired as of now, but am unable to sleep. I just tried to do a search, but I can not remember what size handlebars Bear would need. is it 3/4", 7/8" or 1/2"? I know it isnt 1" Also, would there be enough slack in the line to get something a little taller? not wanting ape hangers, but...

So after going through some posts on the forum, still not finding what I need really. After doing my first coolant change, the idle on Bear has gone up, it idles about 300-500 higher then it should (depending on the weather). Not sure what caused it to start idling higher, but it is starting...

Has anyone done this yet? I have wanted some for a while on Bear but can not seem to figure out how to do it yet. My buddy who I took over his POA for, when he gets out he is going to owe me for the rest of my life, so I figure this is one way to start. If you have put forward controls on yours...

Ok, so my buddy helped me replace my timing belts and made sure that the timing was on (which took forever) and checked out my tensioner barrings which were good when we checked them, no play in them and such. took us 8 hours from start to finish to do this, the old timing belts were pretty...

Alright, the squealing on the belts (at least im pretty sure that is what I keep hearing) is starting to worry me. One mechanic won't return my calls, an other is in prison, and the honda shop doesn't have an opening until july 3rd for me, not to mention they want to charge me almost $200 for...

Alright, so I think it is time to put on these belts, started to hear some squealing when I start up in the cold. Even if the ones that are in there are fine, I already ordered the new ones last year and never put them on. Now I know how to get to them, but I have never put on a timing belt or...
