As part of this process, I've designed a custom logo for my bike that I'd like to have made into a metal badge for my battery cover. I've found a company to source the badges, but have to order a minimum quality of...

My main goal is to simplify the harness, and keep the bare necessities...

  8. Custom How To
    Hello, everyone! I purchased an '83 GL650 Interstate about two months ago, and while I love the bike, I'm just not loving that big, buzzy fairing, especially with how the windshield can cause serious visibility problems in humidity or rain. I have a Vetter Windstar fairing that I previously...

    First time post! I recently cut the second seat off my GL500 to make it a single seater. I have looked all over ebay to try and find something that works for the butt.

    First post. Second bike. Okay so I sold my first project called Silvia the other day. She is a CB400N from 1981. Took 7 months, spent quite a lot of money but learned a great deal. I didn't plan on starting on a new project right away but I couldn't help myself when I saw this CX500C - 1981...

    Tremendously lighter with that exhaust off. I've got some LEDs and a chunkier tire for the back. Just a speedo and temp gauge up top, under a small fairing. Small fenders, most of the electrical hidden.
