I've been doing tons of research as this is my first bike and there is always something new that I learn that has made me rethink my build several times.

    Doing a rebuild on a 79' Suzuki GS1000L with some changes into a Cafe Racer. I was restoring the Exhaust pipes and muffler and ran into an issue. The mufflers (inside is very rusty & dirty) are welded to the pipes which are not quite as dirty. I've been able to remove the rust and scrub the...

    I'm thinking of fabricating some type of intake for my GS project, since I hear the air pods won't run well on it. The stock air box didn't come with the bike and rather than spending money on one, Id rather fabricate something that looks cool. I was thinking of just using exhaust pipe with some...

    So I've been eyeing building a cafe racer for a long while but haven't ever had the means to do so. Until now. That being said, even after reading all of the online posts and guides and DIY tips and tricks, I'm not quite sure where to start. Personally not much of a mechanic (little to no...

    Hello I have a 1979 Suzuki gs850 that I recently purchased. My plan is to get it running so that I can sell it. I have never taken on a task like this before but I figured I would start by removing and cleaning the carburetors which I did. I cleaned the engine as it was full of dirt and put the...
