I recently picked up a set of Heidenau 3.50x16 tires from Hahnda and they look pretty good on the bike. I just got them on and haven't ridden it yet, but they seem to fit fine within the fenders. The front, lower right side rear fender mount (the speedometer cable guide) is a little close - about 1/...

Thanks sarals. I usually only show the good stuff ;) I normally use NAPA Martin Senour paint for projects since PPG is getting so expensive. I painted a VW pan recently with NAPA black and found that even after a month I could still catch my fingernail on it. For a car chassis, this is actually pref...

I seem to be making tools to take things apart more than I'm working on the bike. I don't have an adjustable spanner, and the ones I've had in the past were a little flaky, so I made the one below to disassemble the front forks. I grabbed a scrap piece of 1/4" hot rolled steel laying on the floor an...

I've ruined my share of spoke nipples from using an adjustable wrench in the past, and I wasn't too interested in continuing that trend, but I figured I could use one at least to remove them. One of my adju...

A few nights ago I mixed up a batch of copy cad zinc plating solution from Caswell. Believe it or not, from the first bolt I plated I was able to get excellent results. I had previously tried a epson salt/vinegar solution, but even with sugar added as a brightener I wasn't able to get the brightness...

Any lower case will fit the C/CA/CB/CL72/77 top case. I do have another lower case half from a CA77 but it's still in a parts bike. Once I get the engine out and dismembered, I'll check the fit. If the case halves can be intermixed, I'm assuming they were machined as a pair at the factory but close...

I don't think it has been raced but you never know. It was definitely ridden hard and put away wet. I split the engine this evening and didn't find anything I wasn't expecting. The internals look pretty good and there weren't any parts flopping around inside. There is a large chunk missing from the ...
