What year and model bike is that?

The bike is a 1972 CB750k2.
The seat that is on the bike is NOT stock, as it is a Guallari (spelling?) seat that I got off Ebay.
And as I siad, the trim on the seat came with the seat when I bought it...

Are u talking about the one I posted at almost 3am ?

I just got in from a ride that night , and wanted to hit up the forum befroe I went to sleep.
Stayed out so long becasue the weather was perfect, and I am trying to enjoy it as much as possibile before the leaves start to fall and I go into my yearly winter-time depression

And 2 answer your question I am 26 yrs old , but believe me I feel like I am much older most of the time.

No big deal cheapo - just put a gauge face off to the side for me.
I will send the Tach back to ya to have you install/seal/etc when the fall hits.

Hey Proteal, could you send me a good close up of that seat of yours.
I may have to copy it.

26yrs old?

I remember those days so, my memory's not shot yet and I've got by 33 big ones. Seems like time just flies by whether you're having fun or not.

Later on, Bill

Naw, I'm in the western central part. I'm almost in Oklahoma and just a bit north of the
Quachita mountains. I'm near Fort Smith, in fact. If that helps any. Later on, Bill

I like it! In my opinion the flat black just looks too blah. Keep it

Here are some - I will take some more and email them to ya tomorrow...

Still need to get that exhaust re-worked so it actually looks like it was made FOR the bike, and not something I ran over and got caught on the frame

bill440cars · « **Reply #39 on:** August 21, 2006, 09:31:45 PM »

Hey Teal, you still thinking about turning the end of your exhaust slightly upward or have you decided to let it go? Just wondering, you were talking about doing that sometime back. Might add, your bike is really coming together (meant to tell you that a little while back and kinda got sidetracked on a few other things).
Later on, Bill

ElCheapo · « **Reply #40 on:** August 21, 2006, 09:36:22 PM »

That exhaust is for catching tall rodents

cbjunkie · « **Reply #41 on:** August 22, 2006, 05:55:48 AM »

or serving tennis balls...

Looks great ProTeal!

I think I'm going to upgrade my chopper from flat to gloss over the winter.

Yup , sure am.
Thats the next project on my hit list.
I am prob. gonna ride the bike over to my buddies shop, and do the "mods" their.
Nothing crazy , just gonna cut the pipe down that goes from the collector to the cannon itself, and then angle the cannon up alittle. Should make it look alittle more aggressive, which is always good

I ave since wrapped the head pipes with black headerwrap, just need to take/post some pics...

crp_iii · « **Reply #45 on:** August 22, 2006, 01:05:44 PM »

I think it looks better in Gloss.

And it's not the age it is the milage....... my body is 35 - but has 200,000 miles.....herniated disk in my back, testicular cancer survivor, arthritis in my hands and knees, plantar faceitis in my feet. Feels like I am 75 when I try to get up some mornings.

Rocking-M · « **Reply #46 on:** August 22, 2006, 05:26:08 PM »

Ok, i finally checked my clear coat can. It's omni coat system and the clear is 161.
You mix it with a hardener and it can supposedly be sprayed over rattle can for a base coat.
I'll let y'all know if this works for me.

Ernie · « **Reply #47 on:** August 22, 2006, 06:23:24 PM »

looks awsome but i think it would look even cooler if you did the engine in black krinkle with machined fins

Funny you say this...
I was planning on spraying the motor black and sanding down all the fins to raw/clean alum. over the winter.
Some say it will be TOO MUCH black, but I am kinda thinking it might look good.
We shall see what the winter brings.

ElCheapo · « **Reply #49 on:** August 22, 2006, 08:50:32 PM »

BTW;;;;; Sherwin Williams Fleetwood black works kick ass. Has a mild texture and a mostly flat look to it. Not like Hardley's about 1/2 the texture.
