Topic: An apolagy

[jacquesleclochard]

Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't paid proper homage to where a lot started for me; this forum. I've been asking questions a few years ago, and learned so much from you all, but stopped to show how I applied all your knowledge.

I tried to put it to good use. Started up my own shop a while ago, and I am working on my second build. This is taking up so much time though, and since English isn't my main language, I chose a small Dutch forum as my only community; can't run all those things by myself and find the time to sleep. Hope you understand, please don't be mad baby.

So I did a full revision with a bigbore conversion on a CB750 engine with everything I learned here, bought Hondamans' book and put it to endless use. Do the maintenance with everything I learned, etc. The CB750 and the CB550 I'm building now were and are real challenges. I try to do something new and raise the bar for myself.

So here's a sincere "Thank you". Thanks for giving me the knowledge and a foundation that's strong enough to start out my dream.

Here's a movie from the CB750 as a runner: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=346075242195094&l=953417355876619602

Anyway, I hope you don't consider this somewhat hudgepodge of photo's spam but as an attempt to show you what I've done with your time. Thanks again!

Chris

Your bikes look really good..

Hey, congratulations on finishing it. Now get out there and ride it until you need to rebuild it again.  Cheers.

What are those things welded into the Zundapp tank.. I like the style of the 500 ..bars look killer..

Hey 754, thanks man. I remember you!! Things welded to the side are looking glass threads. Kind of pointless, but I had to do something with the indent where the original logo used to be.

So you're making weldless framekits now?

I like your "Konged" 750 Chris, well done. If you've got time, how about a vid of you riding it around the Dutch landscape? Last time I was in Holland (1974) all I ever saw was bicycles and Mopeds! Cheers, Terry.
