The New Pics Are UP
« on: November 27, 2006, 09:58:59 PM »
I've finally gotten around to taking some pictures of my bike, and I put them up on tabblo:

Burmashave's Bike

It's a 1977 CB750K with CR29 carbs and a Dyna 2k ignition.  I started the restoration late last spring, and I thought I'd be done by mid-summer, but as things always go, it took me until mid-October to get it running properly.  The good news is that the Northeast has been blessed with a bit of Indian Summer these past few days.  I rode it today, and I should get in some more riding on the morrow.

So how are the CR29mms on your 77?  I'm running stock pipes and carbs on my 78 K project that is cammed and has an 836kit but I am considering CRs somewhere down the road.  How's overall driveability?  Thanks

Hey, wow, you guys are really kind.  Thanks for the feedback.

Yup.  If you look really close, you can see that the points cover is the one cover that's a bit lacking in luster.  ;)

I love 'em, but I don't have much to compare them with.  My bike wasn't running well at all when I got it, and the last bike I had ridden was a '78 CB750 in the late '80's.  (It's great to finally be riding again!)  My bike now has solid power, and I attribute a lot of that to the carbs because I know that my compression is weak and uneven.  I hope to do a top and bottom end this winter, and that's why I don't mind running the v-stacks.  The only thing I don't like about the CR's is that they do not come equipped with vacuum fittings for syncing.  I bench sync'ed them, but I will prolly install fittings at some point -- the fittings are cheap and it's just a tap job.

Nice looking bike there Burma.So where are you hiding your Dyna controller? I have to ask because they are kind of a pain to find a good mounting location. Do you have any pics of it mounted?

I can do you one better.  There was a discussoin about where to mount a Dyna (scroll down for MRieck's pics -- my pics are on the second page).  We think the best place is the front of the battery box.  MRieck did a very sweet job with some flat aluminum bars.  That's how I'll remount mine if I do, but with the controller panel facing up as mine is now.

Yeah.....I remember now. I was all in that post but it slipped my mind. I'll have to take a peek back there behind the battery box. I did finally get one pic up in the gallery that shows how I mounted mine. I like yours better because it is more hidden away.
