1982 Kawasaki KZ750
Picked up this bike recently. A great old bike in great shape, except the motor. The motor has been torn down to fix some leaks. Once it’s back together the bike will be a lot of fun. Unfortunately I dropped a piece of the cam chain guide down into the bottom end, so the bike… Continue reading 1982 Kawasaki KZ750
1973 Honda CB350
Picked up this bike for a super deal. When I got it it was completely disassembled and in boxes. In this shot it’s partially back together. As it stands right now it’s completely back together and running awesome. Needs some visual updates and some larger steering head bearings but a fun little bike.
1985 Yamaha XJ700 Maxim
Wow. Haven’t kept up on this site much lately. The bike business has been slowing down lately due to an alternate full time job and graduate school, but I still do what I can. Toured to the east coast on this XJ700 then sold it shortly after. Great little bike. I had it running like… Continue reading 1985 Yamaha XJ700 Maxim
BMW Motorcycle Rally
I worked at the BeemerBalancers.com vendor booth up at the BMW Motorcycle Rally in Essex Junction VT. The rally brought in about 12,000 BMW riders and enthusiasts and a whole lot of business and product awareness to BeemerBalancers.com. The show was a lot of fun and a big success. This coming weekend is the Vintage… Continue reading BMW Motorcycle Rally
1985 Yamaha XJ700
Rolled this XJ700 into the shop today. Has been sitting a while and doesn’t run, but it’ll be going good within 24 hours. 21,000 on the clock. A nice solid bike to work on.

You can probably get them though… Continue reading New Keychains at BeemerBalancers.com
XS1100 Wiring 101
Yamaha used about 15 miles of excess unneeded cable when it built the xs11’s in the factory. On the left you can see all the stock wiring which I pulled into the open and cut the sheaths off of. After half a day of determining which wires I actually needed to run the bike I… Continue reading XS1100 Wiring 101
XS11 Bobber Started
Today I began work on the 79 xs1100 that I’m going to bob out. I cut off the rear of the bike. Created mounts for a brake light under the rear caliper and a license plate over the rear shock. Swapped the pegs with an ’80 model because they are larger. Removed passenger pegs and… Continue reading XS11 Bobber Started
Need Any TX500 Parts?
After debating for a while on rebuilding the motor or parting the TX500 out, I decided to part it. I had already purchased a new cylinder and pistons for it, but the cam chain and gaskets were tough to come by so instead of waiting around I just ripped it apart. If you need any… Continue reading Need Any TX500 Parts?
