I was chiding the poster, not you. Play on the "video" request. Knew she meant your bike, seemed a great opportunity to involve the upcoming blessing of your baby.

Looking at the timing of it all, I seem to recall you going "inside for a few minutes" the first time I came by. Understand now why you were so happy when you finally came outside... ;)

I can't tell you how sincerely happy I am for you both. As you saw with mine, they're the best thing life offers us. Right after an awesome bike of course.

I'll be interested to see how you adapt a GSXR onto a CB while running a sidecar with a baby seat mount! There's a project to be proud of-

Swingarm is too long, all that trouble to get the geometry right at the front and nothing at the back, not being harsh but front and rear geometry effect both ends of the bike... Good steering front with a slower steering rear compounded by the wider tires.... The bike looks cool but i'm not a fan of the combination of suspension mods sorry...

Second-ed. Sometimes, you gotta forego the ultimate performance geometry and just appreciate things for what they are... And I do appreciate what this is and how well executed it is.

I'll reserve judgement on its ride ability until Devin and I carve up the BRP this fall after sleepless nights, the smell of diapers, and the contestant barrage of baby vomit drives him out for a relaxing and aggressive ride on two wheels... Oh, I can still remember it like it was yesterday-

That's a stock cb550 swingarm.

I'm pretty new here and don't have a ton of experience where there's a motor between 2 wheels but I looked at a lot of builders before deciding to buy my own bike and start on a project. I know you don't have a long list of bikes to show but I love how this one, your 550, and the pic of the 350 I've seen are different enough that they don't look like cookie cutters and they have a nice mix of old and new. I didn't care for the tank on this one at first but once you stand back and see the overall lines on the bike and seat...it fits.

The 17 inch rear wheel makes it look worse than it is, a lot of the 500-550 racers use the 750 swingarm because its shorter and  it quickens up the handling of the little bikes..

The seats like 22" so it's a bit shorter than stock. It is deceiving

Absolutely stunning work. I know it's probably the most simple part, but I absolutely love the footpeg brackets. Hurry up and start selling them for a 78-750F!

Great bike, just found the thread recently and have been reading it from the start. I would love to see your ideas on the cowl for the rear and I am hoping it will fit over the existing seat. I had a VFR years ago with the removable cowl, it stopped people asking for a ride around the block when you visited someone after being out for a ride.

Devin,

What are you using to cycle through the different display functions of the Motogadget gauge?  One of their buttons?  If so, where did you mount it?  Also, did you stick with a stock key or the M-Lock?

Reply 182: m-key, m-button and m-unit.

I'd like to see where he mounted the control button too. I looked over my stuff today again (finally ripping out all the wiring on my 550 Friday re-wiring with MG gear). I noticed my new gauge came with the micro switch, but I ordered the small single button for my bracket.

I suspect Devin hid it somewhere discreet.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Reply 182: m-key, m-button and m-unit.

I'd like to see where he mounted the control button too. I looked over my stuff today again (finally ripping out all the wiring on my 550 Friday re-wiring with MG gear). I noticed my new gauge came with the micro switch, but I ordered the small single button for my bracket.

I suspect Devin hid it somewhere discreet.

I used that little chrome button I sell since the m unit button is a little goofy. Mount it on handle bar. I mounted under seat but didn't realize it would need to be accessed regularly while riding.

The m-unit is mounted under the tank. The tank was has a large opening underneath so it clears and I'm able to hide it on the back bone of the bike. The other thing is that it allowed me to run the switches directly into the m-unit and no extra wires were needed.

Great bike, just found the thread recently and have been reading it from the start. I would love to see your ideas on the cowl for the rear and I am hoping it will fit over the existing seat. I had a VFR years ago with the removable cowl, it stopped people asking for a ride around the block when you visited someone after being out for a ride.

Can we vote on bike of the year yet?




Absolutely stunning work. I know it's probably the most simple part, but I absolutely love the footpeg brackets. Hurry up and start selling them for a 78-750F!
