	Motorcycles 2000 Honda VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre Thanks to Marc in Cranesville PA. for this nice Honda 1100cc cruiser. She needed a new exhaust system (the original set was damaged when the bike was laid down) but I found a nice replacement locally and bolted them on. I also replaced the damaged front right directional, the passengers backrest, the headlight bezel, the left passengers foot peg, both throttle cables, mirrors, and we repainted the front fender. Finally, I installed a fork mounted tool bag and a new set of Xelement saddlebags. She's ready to roll.

She was pretty beat up and had some major valve noise. "Just needs a little valve adjustment" the ad read. I ended up replacing the cam chain, adjusted the valves, painted the entire bike, replaced the tires, handlebars, speedometer (with home-made bracket), chain/sprockets, rear brake shoes (and cable), fork boots, seat cover, choke cable, choke bracket, engine kill switch, and a home-made muffler (with heat shield). Runs great and rips up the lawn perfectly!

Most people would just scrap a damaged and partially melted bike but not me. If it has a clean title and I can find a parts bike, it's coming back to life because that my friend is a challenge I just can't pass up! I used a 1979 Honda CX500 donor bike I bought for $50. and started the reconstruction. I ended up spending over one hundred hours to complete this rebuild (and a fistful of cash) but she turned out great. Runs strong and looks even better.

These bikes are pretty cool because you can build a nice eye-catching bar hopper without investing a lot of dough. I stripped her down to the frame and cut the rear section off. I welded on a TC Bros hardtail and transformed this basic street bike into a custom made chopper. Check out the photo gallery (below). Thanks to TC Bros. Choppers and Gordon Scott Engineering for the help.

My very first motorcycle was a mini bike and if it wasn't for the $80. Mom and Dad shelled out for it, I might not be the cycle-nut I am today. To celebrate my 35 years of riding, I bought this old beat up mini bike and restored it to (almost) new condition.

I polished her up, cleaned the carburetor, spark plugs, points, added some fresh fuel, and she fired right up. This was the first year the Tiger was available with the 750cc engine, five speed gearbox, and front disc brake. Besides the head (and one less carburetor), she's the same bike as the '73 Bonneville I sold a few years ago (see below).

She's pretty much stock with a few chrome accessories. New Goodyear whitewalls, and a change of fluids sealed the deal from American Harley Davidson in North Tonawanda, NY. She had a dent on the right fuel tank that I had repaired and repainted. She runs great and looks pretty slick. Updated May 2011 with Turquoise and Cream painted tank and fenders.

After 28 years of neglect I scooped her up on the cheap. My wife took one look at her in the back of my truck and called her "a piece of junk". I didn't see her that way. I rebuilt the carburetor, made a new exhaust system, stripped all the worn wiring and wired in an aftermarket headlight and taillight, fashioned a new bracket for the used speedometer, added two new knobby tires, and painted camouflage on the fenders, side covers and gas tank. This bike is now one bad-ass thumper off road beast! Never judge a book by it's cover or a bike when she's been down and out!

The previous owner cut the baffles out of the exhaust but no matter what you do to make her sound like a Harley, it wont work. These bikes use a dual crank pin set up so she runs smooth without all the vibration that a single crank pin (like Harley) uses. I replaced the mufflers with a new (used) set. Hey, she's not a Harley so why try to make her in to one?

The previous owner bolted on a set of 16" Ape Hanger bars. They looked too drastic and just weren't comfy for me so besides lowering the bike 1", I swapped the handlebars out with a set of 13" Apes and ran the wires internally for a clean look. Other features on this bike included an air horn, drag pipes, and various chrome accessories. This bike originally came with leather bags but someone replaced them with these fiberglass ones. Marty in Cleveland Ohio is the proud new owner.

It came with the fuel tank, rear wheel, and a bunch of other goodies. I installed a Honda front fork with a hydraulic brake and fabricated a kick stand, seat bracket, fender struts, battery box, oil tank, speedo bracket, old school remote oil filter set up, and custom mirrors. The frame received black powder coating and the fenders and tank were painted and polished in metallic silver. Unfortunately, I needed the cash so I sold this project before it was completed. Here are some pics of the unfinished bike. (click on images to enlarge them) Click Here, Triumph Bobber photo Gallery! 1991 Harley FXR Superglide This Harley started off bone stock. I wanted reliability with a custom look. She features custom made handlebars, shifter linkage, and a ghost flame paint job. Ross Racing pistons, Andrews cam, and a Custom Cycle Engineering wide glide kit finished her off. This bike only has 16,000 miles.

The bike had some electrical issues that I worked out along with some oil leaks. The exhaust tappet guide block was leaking so that received a new o-ring along with new top end gaskets. She starts on one kick, doesn't leak oil, and runs great.

She was a sweet ride once she was put back to her original condition.

A little parts scrounging and some creative fabricating, I transformed her into an off road beast. (click on images to enlarge them) 1993 Kawasaki KX125 Dirt Bike This bike was pretty beat when I bought it and the clutch was totally spent. I rebuilt the clutch, stripped the black spray paint and decals off, replaced the broken handlebar levers, front and rear fenders, rear tire, rear brake reservoir, rear brake pads, and the drive sprocket. (click on images to enlarge them) 1972 Yamaha CT2 Enduro Every once in a while I'm in the right place at the right time. I found this diamond in the rough through a co-worker and picked her up cheap. She needed a bunch of mechanical work and some TLC but now is a great bike to ride the trails with. A custom camouflage paint job was applied to give it this off road look.
