Interesting seat you got there. What are your plans for the 4-4 pipes?

Hey I really like those gauge faces, best "custom" ones I've seen.

Well Iron_Worker.....i still am new to navigating this scene Lol But i had posted the speedo build in the SOHC thread...

I probably will hold on to the pipes for now TEWS19 but they have rust holes in them ..not as good they look in the pics.

Well got done with the front brake caliper rebuild..The bracket i mirror polished just the top..and left the rest of the bracket natural with a coat of mothers polish to give it a satin look. All i need now is a speed bleeder and stainless piston ..which are aon order.

Small update...Just restored the cracked and battered headlight to like new condition. Cracks repaired and new spacers installed with headlight ring and tri-bar headlight.

zoom74cb · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2013, 05:35:58 PM »

more pics of finished headlight.. This project is slow going but i am making progress.

zoom74cb · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2013, 05:42:48 PM »

Hard to see..but all cracks were V-grooved and filled with a two part epoxy...Then sanded and VHT chassis epoxy used to give it a satin finish. Stainless button head screws replace the factory phillips bolts

I see really great work with attention to detail. It takes times to do but the finished product always speaks for itself. I am of the same school of thought, carry on sir!

High guys..i am doing a mock-up of the master cyl and left handlebar controls on a set of test bars...My factory switches were very very bad and broken..Awhile back i found these aftermarket switches for about $10 They have slide contacts like the factory ones and bullet connectors at the end. The only thing is the wires are a slightly smaller gauge than factory. Think i will have any problems?? The switches are cast like the oem. The turn signal is not the self cancel type though. I will probably be using this master (2004 ZX636) and the clutch perch from the same bike. Kinda like the way it looks. What do you all think???

zoom74cb · « **Reply #16 on:** February 05, 2013, 04:09:17 AM »

OHH..and the switch will accept ONE cb 750 trottle cable. Was thinking of running one throttle cable anyways

70CB750 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 05, 2013, 04:36:52 AM »

Good looking switches, where are they from?

I believe one cable is not a problem as long as you make sure it does not jump out of the carb end anchor.

zoom74cb · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2013, 06:10:49 AM »

Got the switches from Ebay ....They were cheap enough so i got the right and left side to see how the quality was. Really not bad at all.

Great work Zoom ! Not slow going at all, really neat progress. Love the work you did with the lamp, I'm probably trying to do something the same to mine ! great !

zoom74cb · « **Reply #20 on:** February 05, 2013, 10:25:43 AM »

Thanks Viktor.J ..When i installed the tri-bar headlight i had to trim a small inside lip of the light where the bulb goes. Because of the indention of the factory bucket, But is simple and does not hurt the headlight in anyway

zoom74cb · « **Reply #21 on:** March 06, 2013, 08:03:45 AM »

Hello all !! been working to much..but thought i would share some small updates for the K4 project. Got the valve cover, Chain cover, and upper tree powdercoated so far. fabricated a speedo bracket to bolt on the tree. The speedo should lay flat with the bars. There will be a hole in the bracket for handle bar wiring to go through eventually. I just mocked the speedo up with the upper tree...So the phillips bolts are not the ones i'm using.

zoom74cb · « **Reply #22 on:** March 06, 2013, 08:06:12 AM »

pics of powdercoated tree and hand made aluminum speedo bracket

zoom74cb · « **Reply #23 on:** March 06, 2013, 08:10:15 AM »

more pics of speedo mock up with bracket...The only issue that could be a problem is where the speedo cable hooks up..but it looks like it will be enough room away from the frame neck, so it wont have a tight bend. I think it will turn out awesome.

Some TLC going into this build.

I like where it's headed so far.
