[tango911]

Hey guys im back in action working on my own bike. I sold the H1 (smart guy i know)!  Since April 2015 I started a Shop and have worked on over 130 bikes.    Ill post later, but i just finished a K2 semi resto for myself. Now im onto my first cafe build for ME!!

Details:
-The rear fender will be cut
-06 GSXR600 front end
-Cognito Moto front Hub, stainless spokes.
-Cognito triple tree
-Contour Protaper, Tusk clamps.
-75 frame
-No cutting on the frame
-Stock Tank
-Stock rear for now, Possibly YSS rear shocks, not decided.
-CR29's with velocitys
-Delcekic stainless 4-1  (for now)
-76 Engine,836cc, JE 10.5:1's, Web #341a, mild porting (mainly bowl work and short turn).  Head/jug are decked minimum needed for cleanup. All done by Matt Monday here in INDY

Im going with a sticker theme on the tank and sides.  This is a fairly quick build as i want to get done by early April to shake her down and be ready for our trip down at Deals Gap.
Thanks all!    all pics will be updated at www.Hoyvc.com

Mockup #3      starting to take form.  Im still prob going to go with an all stickered tank and sides, using motorcycle and racing related stickers.   maybe ill have two sets of tins to run, who knows.

That paint looks too nice to stickerbomb!!

[tango911]

Agreed.  Ill prob run the blue tank and sticker bomb it,  since its not that nice of a paint job.

[RAFster122s]

Or have it wrapped with a film that will not leave a sticky residue like many wraps will  leave , before you start the stickering to preserve the nice paint job...

+1.  Muffler appears to be low...but overall looking good!

[tango911]

StevO   they muffler is not attached yet. but yes its low in the pic.   Im also taking off the two spacers and will cut a half moon on the inside, bend upward and attache straight to the foot peg mount and reweld the slit.

I agree, if i sticker bomb it will be another tank and sides.   This set would be stock.

Won't that pipe rotate upward?    Was about to order one of those Delkevic pipes myself.

I plan on rotating it upward and in to the bike.  As in taking the spacers out and the bracket off and mounting straight to the pass foot peg.  that should do it.

[tango911]

Ok im not a fab guy or welder. A buddy of mine who welds ok, helped me design the fender bracket and the tab on my headlight bracket.  I used a headlight bracket from a KZ,  angles the tabs to mount under the top triple to the bar mount bolts, then added a tab on the bottom for support. 

[tango911]

Well here it is for now.   I will test, tune and shake her down then head to Deals Gap on April 30th for a few days of twisties.  Wish me luck!!     When i get back, i plan on going with Ruby Red,  Gold checkered Stripe and ruby red on both fenders,  and also cutting off the front parts of the side covers.

Nice looking bike, tango!  How far are you from Deal's Gap?

Nice looking bike, tango!  How far are you from Deal's Gap?

Im in central Indiana.   We will trailer our vintage bikes down and ride.  Cafe's are not comfortable enough to ride the whole way

[tango911]

over three hundred miles on her now.  Really happy with everything.  Ive never had a cb750 pull the front wheel up with stock sprockets.  Love this 836cc kit with webcam and cr carbs!!!!    Look for us at Deals Gap April 30th to May 5th!

  I hear the back road may be more fun than the main road. Bike looks like a blast. I just got a 72 with a big bore kit of some sort running, it's a rocket compared to what I'm used to.

[tango911]

oh yeah, mine is a rocket as well.  Ive never had the front end up on a stocker but i have now.
