#$%* half the time you could sell off your stocker parts your were taking off and make the money you needed for the build.

This is how I built my bike,with selling the "take off" parts on Ebay, then sinking that cash back into the bike.

Worked outnicely , now I dont have anything left to sell , and ALLOT more to buy

Well, I always wanted to build a beefed up, improved-on featherbed design for a bit stronger bike.
Heres one for the sohc 750.

Someone build it for the build off

Why don't we see more grey/silver/coloured frames than we do?

I was really considering a silver frame for mine but ended up with plain old black (for this season at least....). I suppose lots of people don't strip their projects right to the frame so just touching up the existing black is easier.

yeah, i thought maybe it was YOUR file and you would send it to me so i could spin it around and have a look...

mlinder · « **Reply #33 on:** August 22, 2006, 03:31:58 PM »

It IS my file. I just made it to fit sohc750, so obviously, it's very rough, and not finished.
I put 10 minutes into it. I'd like to put more time, but if you want to mess with it, i'll send it to you.

I sent it to yer yahoo account. Remember, it was a rough sketch up from another idea, using brookesy's drawing to get some proper perspective on engine size, etc.
Once id' decided on details, I'd have started over. Or will, I should say.

cbjunkie · « **Reply #41 on:** August 23, 2006, 06:48:28 AM »

it takes somebody as hard headed as Il Heepo to get a piece like this back to a decent "starting point" for most next owners...

You guys are too funny.......

I have plans to stitch a 78 CB 750 DOHC swing arm in her and the front end from the same bike on it also. After that the motor comes out for a complete balance and HIGH Perf build with custom cam. Then there is crazy sick plans for some turbo action.

mlinder · « **Reply #44 on:** August 23, 2006, 10:31:46 AM »

Now with seat and beginning of trellis style swingarm

mlinder · « **Reply #45 on:** August 23, 2006, 12:07:30 PM »

And another

Damn!!! I need to hire one of you guys to CAD my stuff. I have the CAD progy but not the skills.

cbjunkie · « **Reply #47 on:** August 23, 2006, 12:18:23 PM »

the cool thing about Rhino, this is a 3Dprogram called Rhino, not CAD, is that after you get the shape of the object right, like say, the butt-stop you can take all the planes that it's made of and flatten them out and then print them full size...instant pattern.

mlinder · « **Reply #48 on:** August 23, 2006, 12:30:19 PM »

You want the updatede file, junkie?
Need to make the engine... THat's gonna be time consuming.

cbjunkie · « **Reply #49 on:** August 23, 2006, 02:03:57 PM »
