HI Guys, I have a fairing and rear tailgate for a Ducati 748 Desmoquattro in very good condition, no cracks at all, but depending on what you want to do with it, they will need a new spray job. Ebay versions are priced at R2, 400 for the rear tailgate and R1, 400 for the front fairing, so with...

Hi Guys, I am selling my brand spanking new SG10 Gaerne boots (size 11), unfortunately despite best intentions, they haven't been used in the bush even once! I rode with them for about half an hour in total on my road bike to get a feel for them, hence a a bit of dirt on the soles, but other...

Hey Dogs, I have to sell my awesome little KDX fun machine due to a knee injury, not able to ride offroad anymore. The bike has been well looked after, I have literally just rebuilt the top-end, electro-fusioned at NCR with OEM piston kit and gaskets. She runs like an absolute dream, will keep...

Hey guys, I have a bunch of spares left over from my BMW R50/5 that I sold a few months back, wont be needing these, so I thought I would make them available to some fellow dogs. Barrels, cylinder heads, valves, rockers, valve springs, collets, valve guides, rings - pretty much everything you...

Hey Dogz, I am going to be going to London end of May, and am thinking of ordering a few smaller parts like carb kits etc and having them sent to a friends place there, and then bringing them back in my luggage. Has anyone done this and what are the pitfalls i.e having to declare the parts at...

Hey guys, Not technically a project yet, but I was wondering if anyone was travelling anywhere near middleburg, mphumelanga, down to JHB and would be able to bring through two rolling frames and some bits and bobs for me? I would be happy to cover some petrol, tolls etc? I could use a normal...

Hullo chaps, So, its time for some new projects, I have officially run out of space in my workshop and have had the unenviable task of choosing which bike has to go and even though I love it to bits, I think its time for my BMW R50/5 to go to a new home. She has been regularly maintained, has...

So I bought an R50/5 about 3 months ago from a chap in CT who rebuilds BMW's as a retirement hobby and he did a basic rebuild on mine, new tank spray job, and general cleanup, but we had an understanding that the bike would need further fettling to get it as close to perfect as it could be, I...

Hullo chaps, Has anyone successfully done a front end conversion on an R50/5 to double brake disc? The front braking on my R50 is nothing short of crap! :)

Chaps, I am trying to do an overhaul on my tapered roller bearings of my steering stem, but getting the races out is proving tiresome. I bought an internal bearing puller, but the angle of the stem bevel makes it just sloth impossible for the levers to get purchase on the race. Short of...

Hullo chaps, I have been slowly servicing my recently purchased R50/5 and having focused on getting it running smoothly which it is now doing, I decided to put my attention to getting it as safe as possible which brings me to the matter of the forks. Having ridden it around the block a few...

Hey guys. As the title suggests, I am doing a service on my newly acquired R50/5 and have taken the carbs apart to clean them as they are bogging the engine down and leaking metric fucktons ofetrol out of the bowls when I turn the petrol on, so I assume the float valves are not set correctly -...

Hi guys, First-time poster, but have been enjoying your builds for a while now and thought I should start a build thread of my own. I bought this lovely '77 CB400F last year October and spent a few weeks cleaning it up, figuring out what secrets were hiding beneath the grease, getting it...
