I drill and tap the ...

Hey, that's the one that was in Dublin right? I always like the idea of getting another dead bike back on the road. There are always parts to find online for these bikes anyways. I just fired mine up yesterday for the first time since I bought it and let me tell you, It's a great feeling!

Original License plate.....

Just checking to see if anyone have the original plate on their bike. I bought a California 1963 plate with a 64 sticker on Ebay. My intent is to put it on my 1964 Honda CA95. I took it to the DMV to see if I could use it. I think the plate went through about 10 workers and none of them have any ...

Below is a pic of my refinished rear wheel with my new 3.00 x 16 tire. The tire was the best find for under $35.00. Inside is a new tube and rim strip.

The original rear hub was broken so I needed to clean and polish a used hub, re lace the rim and true the wheel. http://www.fourwheelforum.com ...
