Welcome aboard! I have not been able to ride my bike for a while now, and it needs some work. I am considering selling it, and actually had it on Craig's List...
I think it is a super-cool bike now. The ricers and the harley guys all respect it when it rolls up. It's a nice feeling! Jim Leach Owner, align=baseline...
Thanks! Did you see the 'before' pics (green) the previous owner watch a bit too much American Chopper and used an onion bag to create 'scales' on that bike in...
This sounds like a killer deal but work has slowed, over time is gone and my savings are depleted. If for some reason you still have this for sale around...
WOW! Sounds like I should be asking more for my bike! (Just kidding). It is actually listed on Craig's List right now (Hartford, CT area) at $1,500. I am...
Updates: I did manage to source two other ds6b motors and discovered that at1 pistons will fit this engine or ds3 and possibly ds5 pistons if I don't mind not...
Sounds good! Keep us posted on your progress, and post up some pictures as you go! I have pics of mine before and after there if you look in the gallery.... ...
Thanks for your response. My budget is very tight so I don't foresee being able to afford a whole other bike. I do believe I have sourced another ds6b engine...

Hello, I see that this group has been inactive for some time but I am hoping that some one might be able to help me. I have recently picked up a 1970 Yamaha...
To all: Sorry it took me so long, but I got that anoying spammer off the list. Hopefully she (or he) won't be back again. Sorry to all the loyal members. Best...

To all: I have been working on scanning in the factory workshop manual for the DS-6 (B and C are both covered). Again, it will have to be on CD, delivered...
I busted-butt this weekend to get the fresh tins on the bike. I think they look pretty good! Far from show-quality, but MUCH nicer than the "onion-bag" finish...
I just finished painting my tins! I finished the clear at 9:15pm last night. It's far from perfect, but also a far cry from the onion bag finish that came on...
The good news is that I have completed the scanning of the DS6 owner's manual. I also did it at 400DPI, so the quality is as good as having the original in...
Hello, everyone. I hope you had as much fun as I did this long Memorial day weekend! I tore the bike apart and painted the fork spring covers, headlight mount...
