So after long year and a half I have finally finished my build of my first of many CBs ( cant wait to do a 750 next...)
How she looked when I got her. It was given to me by the original owner just as you see it, a rusty rolling chassis...
Tearing her down bit by bit...
Check out the aftermarket swing arm.
Back from powder coat. Fitting up the new shocks.
Sparkles in the sun
Rollig chassis!
Before shot (all aluminum rim...)
After shot. Satin black powdercoat with Buchanan SS spokes. Shot blasted the hub and sprayed with clear coat.
My motor arrives via ebay. note the awesome packaging.... a story for another time....
The motor is in! That's my little helper in the back ground.
Rebuilding the head.
mating the jugs to the block. no ring clamps needed, just fell right on!
Head is on . starting to mount the electronics and make a custom wire harness...
really starting to come together
My own custom air intake. all the flow of a KN filter without the annoying tuning headaches of PODS
How is looks installed. Still utilizes the factory air box to mount all the electronics.
another shot of filter. Carbs fresh from Hondaman are in too.
accel coils and wires.
prepping the tank to paint
Eastwood's Y2K system . $40 paint job!
built in hardener. I highly recommend this stuff. It turned out great for a rattle can job.
Almost there!
Finished!
A big thanks to all who contributed with their advice. Without you I would still be pushing a rusty frame around my garage.
