  1. New (2010?) Jawa 350 Classic Solo http://www.jawamotorcycles.co.uk/images/jawa_350_classic_side.jpg http://www.realclassic.co.uk/bikepix/jawa09122101.jpg
  2. Boats.net has the elbow for $33.98 here: http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/Y-26H-12446-00-00.html But the O-rings are 'not available' from them.
  3. Guess I'm kinda in a rut.
  4. Big Toe. World's Tallest Rideable Motorcycle http://www.roadcarvin.com/sites/default/files/images/IMG_4711.preview.JPG http://farm1.static.flickr.com/167/402690660_9861cab9a2.jpg http://smartercharger.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Guinness_Certificate__Big_Toe11.jpg
  5. A blast from the past. Boy, I wouldn't want to engage any curbs with those cylinders hanging so low.
  6. Looks like a Honda MB5. 1980. "HONDA MB5 (1979 - 1982) Description & History: Honda MB5, produced since 1979 till 1981, was considered a mix between a scooter and a motorcycle, " http://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/moto_gallery/HONDAMB5-2653_1.jpg
  7. Yeah, I considered showing other shots of the bike, but I figured if you saw a V-6 engine you would get it too quickly. I also considered this shot, thinking you would not notice the bike, thus spending time looking for the girl. http://www.motofgr.com/db_pics/fgrv6344.jpg
  8. I'll agree, Andrew. No give in those mounts! Notice that the owner eliminated the stock turn signals. But those little winkers on the GW mirrors don't look very prominent. And I wonder if the blinkers are still running lights like the OEM Venture? I found this bike in Turkey. Go here for some more shots of it. Click on the 'mega foto' tab for bigger pics. http://motosikletevi.com/ilan/meraklisina_orjinal_yamaha_xvz_1300_v4-160475#.U1GLA1fdzAU
  9. Since it has been more than a day since I posted the bike to guess, I am going to assume that a hint may be needed. The country of manufacture is bordered by Poland.
  10. You could add GoldWing mirrors, molded in to the fairing, like this:
  11. The Colortune has a clear spark plug that lets you look into the combustion chamber while the engine is firing. The colour of the combustion flame tells you if the mixture is correct. With the carburettor mixture screw you can then adjust the flame colour to get the correct mixture. http://www.carbtune.com/colortune.html Sounds like a good concept, except on our Ventures with the deep sparkplug well, some have found it difficult to see the colour.
  12. I am going to claim winner of last guess, so here is another for y'all to find:
  13. Not to beat a dead horse, but for what it's worth Pegasus, here is a stock unrestored 1977 CB750A. Note the color, the pinstripes, the exhaust and the passenger peg mounts. http://tws.dk-server.co.uk/item76103-2.jpg
  14. I am crying 'foul'. The 1978 CB750A didn't come with the Akront rims, it came with Comstar wheels. The 1978 had dual exhaust (4 into 2). The 1978 had cast aluminum passenger foot peg mounts, not the steel frame extensions shown. Your pictured bike is a 1976 with Akront rims and stock four into one exhaust and stock passenger foot pegs (in other words a 1976 frame). The seat is not 1976 stock but it was available as a Honda option. And we can't check eBay ads from 2006 (where your pic was taken from). Here's a 1978 Honda CB750A that sold at an auction in Vegas January 2014, survivor with 4000 miles. http://forum.motorcycle-usa.com/attach.aspx/3896/750aleft%20small.JPG Here's a 1976 CB750A with the optional seat, (although the seat appears to have added padding).http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/08/75/6a/08756adcc3e671e8801653dd2168e16a.jpg
  15. Show me the link to the pic, Steve.
  16. Perhaps you are correct, Pegasus, but the stock 1977 CB750A had a four into two exhaust and the passenger foot peg mounts were an aluminum casting. This looks like a 1976 with the four into one pipe and the passenger foot pegs mounted on the tubular frame extensions. And that seat is confusing me, too. The passenger grab bar is proper for a later CB750A, but not the touring bucket seat configuration. Perhaps the seat was re-done?
  17. Well, I give up trying to find that pic. My answer: 1976 Honda CB750A Hondamatic.
  18. I know it is a Honda CB750 Hondamatic. I have to find your pic.
  19. Do you fall asleep watching golf on TV...? Yep, one of my favorite Sunday afternoon pastimes. Need a nap? Turn on the TV to a golf game. Zzzzzzzzzz.
  20. Here's a tricky one. Remember: Make, Model, Year.
  21. Megola The Megola was a German motorcycle produced between 1921 and 1925 in Munich. Like Bimota, the name is a portmanteau derived loosely from the names of its designers Meixner, Cockerell, and Landgraf. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/MHV_Megola_01.jpg/800px-MHV_Megola_01.jpg
  22. Kurt, are you going to submit a bike for us to find?
  23. OK, Close enough. It is a 2009 Bimota Tesi 3D, Rock Gold, Daad Dantone Edition. As a part of a multi-brand collaboration, Bimota has teamed up with designer Daad Dantone to make this blacked out Testi 3D with gold inserts. The Tesi 3D will match other one-off goods made for Daad’s “Rock Gold” display in Milan. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XfmNfhGQqC8/THFRnunbpmI/AAAAAAAAAj8/-GZk2J_35i8/s1600/N_01+Bimota+Tesi+3D+Rock+Gold.jpg
  24. Yes it is a Bimota Tesi, but it is a special Bimota Tesi. Can you be more specific? Find the original pic and post it?
  25. Unlike the last posted motorcycle, this is Beautiful! But it will be easy to guess.
