Topic: Frame kit, frame kit, frame kit!

Well, I got my frame kit made by forum member 754 and it looks awesome! I haven't had time to get them fitted up yet, but the quality seems top notch, packaging was tight and professional and shipping was reasonable and quick.

Looks great!  I have considered doing something like that on my bike.

i want to do this too! what do u do buy this kit take the bike to the a shop where they cut the frame and weld this in?

It's not needed on the 550 xsmooth69x, it's a 750 mod.

hahahaha very very true! i will update my build thread but my 550 is almost done!

this is just kinda of a future ideas kinda thing. after my 550 is done i do have a 1972 cb750 sitting in my garage 

and dont get me wrong i can get the 550 motor out myself but that 750 motor..... well i havent figured out wtf im going to do with that thing yet..... cherry picker and some kind of L bracket to tie off the motor and lift it out. but im not there yet but ill figure it out. but this kit also looks good too



got it for $300 i couldnt pass it up and the rents almost killed me when i wheeled it home

The kit is for removing the head as this can't be done in situ.
I think removing the engine is the same principle as the 550, put the frame on it's side on the floor.

I quite like that colour.

ya i know the whole lift the frame off the motor trick but extra clearance with the frame removed would always be nice.

thats just the color on the bike now. ill probably soda blast it all off and do my own colors and graphics. might use the blackboard chalk paint and then i can draw designs and graffiti all over it and then the next day whip it all off and draw a new design

I could work with that colour and some graphics..unless it needs painted.

This is inside MY head.

ya this is still months and months down the road but i was thinking about making the frame white. so idk might keep the it as a base color and wand the clear off or just do some crazy color combo

im definitely not a more stock then not guy

 Thanks for posting the pic, I made a few changes;
 I counterbored the area under the buttonheads about 1/16 of an inch , so they sit into the metal, instead of on top of. Greater seating area, less chance of loosening. I also trimmed  & beveled, the flatbar so it sits under the frame piece better and I ground both sides for a nicer look.
