Motorcycle restoration

I don't know if members of this board are all that into restorations but if you are I am starting this restoration video series called Barn Fresh If you click the link it will take you the the main page where all the episodes will be located. At the time of this posting the first episode is up, and the following episodes will be uploaded/active every week until the project is done. Each episode page will also contain extra pictures and info about the episode and the project bike. If you like it share it around with your friends!

Barn Fresh Episode 1 Finding the project



Moderators Edit: Adjusted photo width to 640 pixels per the forum guidelines. The Photo FAQ's has help & tips for posting photos.

    Had a Kawi Green Streak back in the day. Light switch powerband, zero handling, bad brakes and unreliable, other than that it was a peach :-)

    Keep checking every week, each episode uploads once a week until you see the finished bike. I also have a multitude of tips, tricks and other rare items associated with the bike that I will reveal as we go along.

    If you click the icon in the tool bar, paste your link in the box for the URL then type in 640 in the Width box (don't fill in the Height box) and you'll be good to go. After you click finish you can see the code where it places the width-640(- is actually an = symbol in the correct code).

    Well you can live vicariously though me then, haha because I have several triples 250, 350, and 500's among other bikes.

    Just fine posting here, if it has to do with Toy Hauler and our Toys it's on topic here. All I ask is to set your photos to a width of 640.

    Thanks for posting and sharing!


    I will try to figure out how to post smaller pics, I will have to read your FAQ. Like I said the old ATV Magazine forum closed almost a year ago so I forget how to run some of the settings.

    Anyways thanks for re sizing.

    Very interesting. I'll be following your project.
    I remember when those 'vintage' Kawasaki's were new bikes in the dealers showroom. :E


    Well then you will like the last episode then. I have some real neat stuff that goes with this bike.

    Also this is the only appropriate forum that I can post this stuff in because they shut down the ATV Magazine forum that was tied to this when the magazine went bust, thus why my join date is 2003.

    What you need to do is downsize your pictures as they are too big.
    Also to read your story you have to scroll for the last few words on each paragraph!
