Yeah, I always cringe when I see what some people try and make these.
They are a real superbike from an interesting era.

Firmed up the stock suspension, might go down a notch though.
More "buzzy" then I thought it would be.  Doesn't like 55mph as much as it likes 70mph.
Great mid range.  Good brakes.

All around I think they make a great street bike on the road.

Got some ProGrip 714s.  Best grips ever.
Fork seals cam in today too!

Because I am a magnet for smoothbore carbs....
Some 33s.
Not going to run them for a while.


And some Raask rearsets.
Want to try them out and see how I like them.
Would like a more aggressive riding position, but want to still ride two up and not ruin the ability of the bike to eat miles.

Those Raasks look old.  I'm wondering if Raask's old stuff was of better quality than what you get from Omar's these days.  I am considering getting some for my cb750f3, but my one experience with them was about 3 years ago on a friends cb650.  They seemed chintzy to me at the time.

I've never run them, for the sohc they are to high, not sure on the DOHC.

Can't say I have ever seen any Raask that really impressed me in terms of quality, but none ever struck me as bad either.  Just standard parts in my book.

I'll blast and refinish them.
They have the rare ish passenger pegs.

I remember a guy back in the 70's who ran the Raask rear sets on his custom RD350 street racer;I liked'em because of having the passenger peg feature.I never had any.

If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.
