it's the rear that's problematic. it propels the bike sideways more than forwards

just connect the wires
cut the plug off, strip the cable and crimp on those bullet connectors that came with the number plate light, then you can plug it in

or cut the connectors off both sides then just twist and tape them together

>>17578649

That's a funny way of spelling aprilia

>>17578747
I was riding this weird motorcycle once. I thought it actually said aprilia on it, but the dash cluster was fogged up and I had to get off and walk away because the brakes failed and the main crank bearing spun. Never really got a chance to look.

Italian build quality. They're weekend bikes for sure. Put too many miles on them and you'll only work the faults out.

I would gladly buy an aprilia with 50k miles on the odometer, but less than 10k? Naw.

Bike noob still researching bikes.

Ultimate goal is to build a cafe racer but may just buy a cbr250 or 250 ninja to learn on.

Tossing up bikes for a cafe racer in my head such as
cb500 four
suzuki gs400
yamaha xs

I dunno if I should do lots more research... I'm new to bikes.

By fun I just mean not a heavy pig, I don't mean a bike that chases down modern cbrs.

I also want something that I can customise like a harley but not something that's just a highway cruiser.

I don't really see any alternative other than cafe racers.

When people try to customise modern sports bikes it ends up looking terrible so a 80's or old sport, or standard bike seems to be the best choice.

The only choice is cafe racer... It's good to customise and make look unique but better to ride in corners than a harley...

>>17579514
Just pick up a running shitbike with favorable geometry and replace/modify anything you don't like looking at. Try not to put your custom in a premade box. If it ends up a bobber or cafe racer, then whatever. Nothing great comes from tailoring to a trend.

>>17579575

If it is mold I'm worried it might be inside the material as well as on it.

Instead of dumping your pinterest folder go seriously ask on fa

I firmly believe everyone's first bike should be a standard
It's the basic form of a motorbike, it'll let you discover what you actually like in a bike and what you can't stand

Cruisers have no ground clearance and forward/mid controls, which make them pretty much useless to lean

Muscle cruisers are basically a big engine in a shitty frame, go fast in a straight line, but not much else

If you want to look dumb just go full bozo

"Named after the reptile of the same name, due to the bike’s long, low appearance and was chosen to reflect the North American nature of the species

After several years of R & D, with eighty nine different riders consisting of professional motorcycle and car racers, prominent bike enthusiasts, engineers, journalists and regular Sunday riders to help develop the bikes through test rides along with Gurney's busy schedule running a team, six different prototype configurations all have logged thousands of miles before Gurney and his team decided on a sixth evolution, the A-6 with full fairing to be launched in 2002 with an intention to build no more than 36 as it was the number that appeared on the Eagle-Weslake Formula One racer which won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix. The bike is then made available to consumers for $35,000, considering its price, beside its rare nature of the bike with a carbon fiber body over a chromoly frame powered by a 70 horsepower (52 kW) single-cylinder 710 cc Honda which is capable of 140 mph (230 km/h) and 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds."

Yes we can.

It's on the real bike too
It's a fuel petcock
On old bikes you had to manually turn fuel on, off or reserve

>>17579795
It was the fuel main/reserve on the original Katana.

>>17579779
yes, but the 4 pin version. basically the + and - side hook up as normal, but for the signal side i just combined the primary and advancer pickups (primary is the base timing, advancer starts making a stronger signal the faster the engine is spinning to overpower the primary signal and advance the timing) into one pin so the signal goes in the pin and out the module ground, then the kill switch grounds the other signal pin to give it an easier path to ground and stop the module from firing.

So yeah I quite like the early 80's honda magnas and I would possibly consider one over a cafe racer.

What advantages does it have over a cafe racer?

>>17579802

>>17579829
The fact that it's not one?

>>17579797
>>17579799
It's a vtr250. I think the US got its predecessor in the form of the spada? Same shit but 10 years older and with fairings.

I rode a gpx250 recently and the honda trashes it. You have to keep the revs up on these little engines, and the parallel twin just vibrates the whole bike in an nasty, unabalanced way. The honda V twin has good vibes and sounds way better.

>>17579829
>A lot more comfy

If you want a cafe racer that bad just get one. As long as the bike makes you happy

Uh I could be horribly wrong but I don't think the VTR 250 is a twin. Pretty sure it's a single cylinder.

I will do some research into them.
That is something I would like instead of cafe racering an old cb500 four.

>>17579829
go make a cafe racer, better yet buy one thats made already, it'll be fine. its your life brother

>>17579829
So you like "Power Cruisers"

>>17579829
>>17579839
V fours are interesting but that's about it. Imagine working on the bike you find off craigslist.
>intake boots probably hard as fuck by now
>4x carbs nestled into each other
>16 shim type lifters rammed against the radiator and frame rails
>budget/expect to replace every rubber hose

It's like a standard except with worse handling and ground clearance, mediocre brakes, big dive from the skinny, raked out forks, heavier weight, and greater complexity.

>>17579850
For real. The opinions of others are worthless if you like it. I ride a motard and that makes people mad for some reason, but i love it more than any bike that I've ever rode as long as i keep it off the highway.

>>17579835
>it's not really constructive

This is 4chan nigger

>doesn't really make sense

and?

Are you catching on yet.

>>17579859
I don't actually. If someone is going to assume that about you just because of your bike then their opinions don't mean much.

I prefer toxic people like that to stay away from me.


For example a lot of the cars I like are old 80's Japanese cars that other people describe as ugly boxy fridges but I still like them.

>>17579852
Never mind, I figured it shared the same engine as the CBR 250R, I guess I was wrong.

>>17579852
Given that I am currently syncing the throttles on one in front of me, I would say that you are horribly wrong

Why do you have to shit up every thread asking about "cafe racers". Get any bike, Chuck a shit Chinese tan leather seat on it, some bar end mirrors, terrible handlebars, shitty paint and tell your friends it's a cafe racer. That's all there is to it.

Google any bike and put "cafe racer" after the name and some shitter will turn up. Example.

>>17579873
Then why do you need validation?

>>17579861
Yeah, I think I would get one that's already done and change it to my taste or buy a bike that's seen better days.

Doesn't make much sense to buy an original immaculate to cafe racerise. It's a waste of money.

>>17579854
no prob anon. i actually got the idea from a suzuki forum (because i also picked up an 82 gs450 with the honda) and they use a pair of hei modules to replace their ignitor boxes when they die (dual coil). honda only needs one because its single coil so the spark goes in one plug, across the gap, through the block, across the other gap, then up the plug and back into the coil.
>another fun fact: i actually used a hei module and car coil and battery to give a go kart engine electronic ignition using the low voltage part of the ignition coil as the trigger

xsr900 in a nutshell

There I said it

>>17579891
Because my opinions about cars comes from years of interest.

Bikes are new to me.

>>17579854
i should note though, that idk if the advancer is actually having the intended effect on timing though the module as it would with the stock cdi box because i havent checked. bike revs just fine up to redline and doesnt have issues while driving so its good enough for me.

>>17579873
When you finally come to the realization that everybody is toxic to you. Don't go on a murderous rampage. just KYS and be done with it.

>>17579885
Not a fan of that bike.

Just because other people use shitty chinese parts on cafe racers doesn't mean I will.

Besides the honda magna may be a good option.

>>17579873
So you´re a hipster then? A cafe racer is right up your alley then, giver nuts champ.

>Google drz400 cafe racer
>tons of results

What the actual fuck

>>17579911
No, but I may build a japanese 1980's bobber instead of a cafe racer.
