    Vacuum/fuel issues.

    So I've been putting some work into this 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 I bought. Well, I changed the tank today and noticed on the original tank there were two nipples for lines. The new tank, which came off a Kawasaki Vulcan 800 classic, only has one nipple. So I took the two lines and made them one...

    What are your thoughts on bobbers? I am currently attempting to repair and possibly turn an 84 Honda Magna 700 into a bobber.

    carburetor vs fuel injection

    Since everything I read seem to be opinion based anyways, I figured I would ask for your opinions. What do you people think? Advantages and disadvantages of your favored pick? I am planning on buying a new bike around the beginning of the year. That should give me a couple of months to get back...

    Cruiser vs. Sport

    I had a Kawasaki Ninja 500 that I never really enjoyed riding. I now have a 1995 Yamaha Virago 250 that I don't want to stop riding. It is just so much more enjoyable to me. I just can't seem to figure out exactly what it is. Is it the style? Perhaps the power difference? Could it be the height...

    Knee Guards

    Recently, I have taken up the idea that I should get some knee guards. The only street ones that I have found at my local Cycle Gear were Icon Stryker Knee.

    Finally got my first bike

    I'm super excited I just got a 2002 Kawai Ninja 500 woot. I think it is a great first bike. I do want to get it serviced just for piece of mind though any places you recommend I go in San Jose for service that will not cost an am and a leg?

I took the MSF safety course a couple of years ago, but have not bought a bike yet, because my grandmother had asked me to wait till she was deceased to buy one. I decided I can't wait any...
