Cb750 version 2 all steel
« on: October 20, 2013, 08:21:23 PM »
Well, I took it back apart and am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  I wanted to ride her to Barber and spent many late nights trying to make that happen but I just ran out of time.  Heres how she stands now:

Great shapes on the tank and seat.  You may want a slightly longer cut out on the seat, to give you a little more room to move.

Thanks.  I took a long time sketching the shapes and proportions before committing it to steel.  The saddle should have enough room to scoot back, I did some pretty accurate measuring when laying everything out.

that looks great - there's always next year for Barber.

You gonna paint that beauty ?     Everytime I see bare metal, I want to just leave it alone.  Something about bare metal....

Got some decent photos of the bike from a friend of mine.  Please excuse the blue painters tape.
