    Bikes & Semi's

    I was waiting for a left turn light at a busy intersection near home today when a really nicely built 18 wheeler came through also making a left from my right hand side. The rig looked sweet. Chromed out, super clean, white sheet metal and the frame was almost a burgundy. As he was coming into...

    All 650's Rear wheel roller

    I found this thing on Amazon the other day and picked one up. It actually works like advertised! (-I know, right?) It was around $50 cad, and was great for chain maintenance. Good for wheel cleaning too. Cheers!

    Loud CB?

    All 650's Honda "silver" delete

    I really like the looks of my '18 cb650, but have never been a fan of the silver paint sprinkelled around the bike. Had a couple of bad weather days last week so I pulled the pegs/brackets, gave 'em a quick sandblast, and painted them semi-gloss Tremclad black. I just wanted to see how it would...

    Hey guys, has anyone gone with a Lithium-Iron battery in your CB? I like the idea of shedding a few pounds, but have read that they don't like cold temps... Any input here would be appreciated. Thanks!

    All 650's FAST riding school

    Here's a good option for the folks in eastern Canada, maybe N.E. US also. (sometime soon) I did a road-race course with "FAST riding school" quite a few years back, at Shannonville in Ontario, Canada. It was a great learning experience, whether you go on to ride on a racetrack or just for...

    CB650F Exhaust info? -Not like the old slip-on days...

    I took a quick look at the exhaust plumbing on my bike yesterday eve, whilst fitting the tail tidy. Seems like it's all one fully welded up piece. -I guess that's why I only see full systems for sale for $1k +/- Going to have a better look this weekend, unscrew the covers, but my fabrication...
