Nice job Prokop!... I'm also planning the same assembly process.

Are you using the original engine hanger bolts? One of mine is pretty bent so I was trying to find good alternatives.

Thank you

I am scavenging bolts and brackets, will be making some pieces and ordering from McMaster, I have several bolts for the front, but the one for footpegs is like 4 inches longer, not sure where that came from.

Congrats, that's a good feeling isn't it?

70CB750 · « **Reply #203 on:** March 17, 2014, 06:20:58 AM »

Oh yeah, I dreamed about it for a while

Now I have to put on some mental breaks and make sure I dont cut too many corners trying to get her on the road.

I had the engine out this way but the wheels were still on. I'm seriously considering assembling the top end in frame now that I have Gordon's kit installed. Previous plan was to do what you did above, but with the wheels on first, so the engine could stay off the ground. I don't have anything to hold the bike up except its center stand. Nice progress!

Prokop your bike is looking very nice!

I am trying to find the Gordon's Kit or something like that, any idea where they are available?

PM Gordon and see if he has one ready. His forum handel is ilbikes

You're getting close now! And just in time for the season.

70CB750 · « **Reply #207 on:** March 19, 2014, 01:55:01 AM »

Thanks, Andrew.

Still using parts I had ready to install.

This F engine came to me with 657 JJ carburetors jetted 100 and 40.

What exhaust you plan on using?

70CB750 · « **Reply #210 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:31:26 AM »

Good question, don't know the answer yet. I have 4 single pipes I could combine into some kind of a 4-2, but it depends how much energy I have left when all the rest is done.

Since this is supposed to be long distance hauler with fairing or at least windshield I would think 4-2 would look better on it, but I may end up just smacking Mac on and calling it

Stev-o · « **Reply #211 on:** March 19, 2014, 07:18:29 AM »

No no no Mac! You can do better for the same money finding a deal on a good used system.
Reason I ask is obviously the exhaust will determine jetting. I know will be running pods!

Stock air box for sure, if I can actually get it installed, looks like carbs and airbox together are major challenge.

nope, if you have new or good condition boots it is a piece of cake

Did you make that adapter? It looks really nice!

70CB750 · « **Reply #216 on:** March 20, 2014, 03:26:07 AM »

Yes I did, thanks!

70CB750 · « **Reply #217 on:** March 21, 2014, 06:14:22 PM »

Wheels on make it look like a bike.

70CB750 · « **Reply #218 on:** March 21, 2014, 06:15:30 PM »

Yeah, I set on it. Part of the build experience.

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #219 on:** March 21, 2014, 07:50:40 PM »

comstars with early seat...I like

70CB750 · « **Reply #220 on:** March 22, 2014, 04:42:43 AM »

Thank you.

I will be replacing them with tubeless comstars in the future, thats the whole purpose - wheels with minimum maintenance needed.

But the bike will be like giant quiz - how many different years and makes can you spot:)

Stev-o · « **Reply #221 on:** March 22, 2014, 07:15:20 AM »

Looking good

yeah, that stuff is fun with these years of Hondas. At first your surprised by how much doesn't inter-change when you suddenly realize that other surprising parts do.

Installed brake pads. I really like the identical calipers front and back. Smart solution.
