So, I was given a 1989 transalp that I'm turning into a custom build, and the bike came with a Corbin seat that is completely thrashed. I'm going to throw away the old cover and foam. I bought a cover that looks more like an XR seat cover as I'll be using this bike as an adventure bike, and just...

Life is strange, I live on the lost coast now. Somebody offered me a free 1989 Transalp. I've already ordered a set of XR650L forks, and will be researching more for shock options. But what do I need to know about this bike? And is it worth swapping a Hawk GT motor into it?

Bought a new rat bike and I'm trying to get it running. It's all good to go except the tank was rusted out and I'm looking for a used one or some type of other alternative. Anyone have any type of experience with this bike and know a tank that would fit it from a different model or would take a...

$2150 Reason for leaving: I'm a teacher and got laid off, now I'm leaving the bay. If you're interested, please email me with the following: - Your favorite sugary cereal from your childhood in the title - Name and occupation? - Are one or two people moving in? - When can you move in? - Is...

Bike: 2005 SV650 with ZX10 shock and Racetech Fork Emulators set on a less aggressive setting. Symptoms: If I hit a corner anywhere below 65mph the bike sort of wobbles and slightly wants to stand up/straighten out. So last year while at Laguna Seca, I had the suspension vendor adjust my...

Trying to find a pair of used MX boots between size 10 and 11. Not looking to pay a lot, but beat up boots are fine.

So, I live in Santa Clara now, and while I'm pretty happy being a loner, I think it would be cool to hang out with some other teachers who ride. Maybe even get a bi-monthly dirt/street ride going? If you teach, what do you do, and what kind of riding are you into? I'm 6th/8th grade history.

My best friend called me today. While he was lane sharing on the bay bridge, someone with a 2018 BMW (he said RS something) tried to pull in between lanes without checking for traffic and sideswiped him. The dude's first words were accusatory, and blamed it on my friend for not having ABS on...

EDIT: Specifically looking for some smaller singles so kids can work in pairs/threes Hey all, I decided I'd take the dive and run a club this year, and the idea has been to tear down and put back together a few engines (they don't have to be running, but I do want complete, and with...

Hey all, Looking to turn my XR400 into more of a garage queen and find a 450 I can thrash and not feel so guilty about. Looking for something that is close to stock as possible, and reasonably unabused (or well taken care of). Please don't contact me about bikes that aren't green stickered. I...

Taken care of.

Hey all, I accepted a job in Mountain View as a middle school teacher last week, so I'll be moving from Santa Cruz some time between late July and September (hopefully.) I'm open to moving into a mellow situation, or finding another person to look for an apartment with. I can afford about...

So a while back a neighbor gave me a brand new polisport headlight but it came with a shitty 12v 35w bulb that isn't good for much. I wanted to know if anybody had experience converting one of these dual sport headlights to a better bulb setup?

So, everyone is out buying the ktm/husqvarna 350 these days, and I'm just trying to keep up on my XR400 when I go riding with them. I finally took one of those 350s for a ride, and I gotta say it was an amazing machine, but I don't want one. One thing that really set me off was the vibrations...

The fender is sanded and has a small crack that I unsuccessfully tried to repair. PM me if you're interested.
