What type of jig did you use to bend those bars? I have attempted it a couple of time with no success

Vise, vise grips, and a propane torch.  Used some weld wire to mock up the bend and get the length.

Haha, had a torch out and everything!  The editing department would bankrupt the show since I'm so effin slow..

All one has to do is to go back to the opening page of this thread to see how much work has gone into this bike.  An amazing transformation that I eagerly look forward to progress on.  This bike is going to be a blast to ride.

Thanks for the kind words!  It's been a fun learning experience and I really like how it's coming together.  I'm just sad that my rate of progress is taking me right to a "heart of winter" completion date.

So after a hiatus, I’m finally ready for some more progress!  I was a bit held up with my shock clearance dilemma, but after some patience Cognitomoto was able to take very good care of me and my issue.  They hooked me up with some custom perches that achieved the clearance that I need, while also letting me keep all my travel.

Stock vs. custom


They also made the first of their air boxes in a 350f/400f format.  I have a little fine tuning to do on the fitment but it will turn out nice methinks.


Santa brought me some more of motogadget’s finest, so I’ll finally be able to start wiring this sucker up!

Wow that airbox is deluxe !! I HATE removing the stock 4-1 airbox thing. This will save you so much headache

Hoping that it smooths out some of the issues inherent with pod filters on this bike.

So it's about time I get serious about getting the ignition sorted out.  I admit my knowledge on the subject on the subject is a bit lacking so I'm looking for help and suggestions.  I'm eyeing up this kit from 4into1 http://4into1.com/electronic-ignition-kit-dynatek-honda-cb350f-cb400f/, but I don't know if there are any glaring issues with using the Dynatek ignition and these coils... 
Hondaman, I think you have an ignition available as well.  Why would I use yours instead?

Hey, Larry:
I'm working on an uber-custom 750 for a fellow, would like to talk to you about making some fender stays for it? Drop me a PM when you have a chance?
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

Holy smokes, I totally missed your question lol!  Been a bit out of the loop as I bought a house this spring and the project has been hibernating.  Did you ever get the fender stays sorted out?
