It's alive !! It started right-up yesterday on the shop bottle. I ran it at 2,500 rpm for several minutes, made sure the oil pressure came up and stayed, then verified timing was spot on in both 850 and 2,500+ rpm.

Terry, I upgraded the lines to stainless, I have not yet installed the chrome K&N since I want to do 100 miles then dump the fluids and the painted filter. The adapter is a work of art and works perfectly. I trimmed the cooler in aluminum plate, added some rubber dampers, and 2 more mount collars. It's fit was tight, but it fit nicely under the stock horn and leaves me 3/8" of clearance above the large-diameter Kerker pipes. I'm very pleased. This 836 should live on for a long time without suffering from any heat related failures.

Thanks to all who've contributed with ideas, experience, enthusiasm, and motivation. Mike Rieck, a special thanks to you for the long conversations on the phone and many inputs of advice.

I'll post a before and after when the painted bodywork gets back this weekend. This was a bike my wife asked me to please take to the dump.

Best Regards,
Gordon

Gorgeous! Terry should use your pics for his eBay auctions

I need to get a setup like this too Terry - soon soon. Got the Turbo tonight - nothing like a few more tubes and bits to add to everything else on it, and maybe a 2nd setup for the 550.

Looks really nice: very clean and shiny bike.

Looks absolutely fabulous. My pleasure in helping out. That oil will have a very hard time getting over 220 degrees with that size cooler.

terry... have you considered a cooler setup for the 400f? i'll be your first customer.

mrbreeze · « **Reply #10 on:** September 19, 2006, 10:41:01 PM »

Looks good Gordon!!! Terry's oil cooler is already on my list but I need to take it a step closer and get those braided lines you have.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #11 on:** September 19, 2006, 11:14:55 PM »

G'Day Gordon, thanks for the rap mate, well if you're happy, then so am I. That one was a bit tricky due to the clearance issues that I had to work around, so I'm glad it all worked out.

For you other guys, I make coolers for all the SOHC4's, Suzuki GS750-1100, and custom "one off's" too. Send me your design, and I'll make it work! Cheers, Terry.

Terry,

What's the dimensions of your cooler? Do you have access to other coolers also? I know it will work on my Honda but I need a cooler for my Fat Boy. The Harley cooler is mounted vertically rather than horizontally.

Mr. Breeze, you did not see what I drove for 4 hours picking up and then brought home from an EBay purchase of $112 -- I'm sure some will agree with my wife, but I enjoy the challenge...

I originally bought this for it's engine. I've got a friend that owns a custom bike frame business and he is going to build me a custom chopper frame with a big 250 tire, but I decided this CB was getting restored in 70's hotrod fashion - 836cc, ported heads, Kerker, and Terry's cooler.

G'Day Jerry, I can buy vertical coolers as well as horizontal ones, no worries. The adapter is the same OD as your CB750 filter housing, 4 inches. Cheers, Terry.

out of curiosity how much do your coolers run, If you dont mind letting me know... (76 750K6)

Tintin,
Takes about 2 weeks from day Terry shipped it until I received it here in Canadeh. Hooks up easily, perfect fit. I think I will have to put on the stainless lines as they look gorgeous.

P.S. I saw that Turbo/Rickman for sale first couple of hours it was on the 'net, I would've gone for it but I found a '69 750k instead. That turbo was a nice find.
Jim.

i notice a modern style oil filter on that bike... what's the deal on that conversion?

mrbreeze · « **Reply #23 on:** October 19, 2006, 10:57:35 AM »

It gives the oil cooler of course but also does away with the canister oil filter.Easier oil changes with a spin on filter.

Wow your work looks really nice. Do you mill these yourself? Do you make an adapter for the SOHC CB650??? Does it convert to the spin on filter as well? What kind of turnaround time?
