Just took few pictures.  Done with upgrades. 

Looks good. Just in time for winter...

Thank you, Stev-o!  At a different forum I got one negative reaction and I really felt it.   

But this bike was heading in the direction of scrap metal heap and I gave her new life and purpose - maybe thats why am I having such a hard time to shake off those hard comments. Loving the red headed step child ain't easy.  ;D

Taylor Swift was right, "Haters gonna hate"!

I reckon your bike looks pretty damn good, plus it has helped increase your motorcycle resurrection knowledge, which is always a positive thing. Love the seat!

900C are fine bikes, Honda made many more models that are hideous in my opinion…so, congratulations on saving one and building it into something that you can enjoy. Let them pound sand.

I think you did a nice job on it!

Today I fixed the damage from dropping the bike.  The headlight was just a glass fuse that looked ok but crumbled when i pulled it out. 

This bike has fuse panel under a cover below the igntion key.  Messing with it I caused two shorts with my key bundle - twice I burned the fusible link located by the starter relay.  After that I finally started using just a single key for testing.  I learn eventually. Being out of fusible links I replaced it temporarily with 30A inline fuse holder that used the standard automotive fuse. I might keep it that way, it is much easier to find a fuse than fusible link.  But I definitely need to stack on glass 15A fuses. 

To replace the left turn signal I had to losen up the upper tree, nothing complicated, just time consuming.

Thank you, Larry, doing well.  She really grew up on me, especially after changing handlebars. Changed position made her much more comfortable and she is quite the mile eater.

Yep, they are very comfortable for longer rides.  Glad to hear you are doing well, Larry

PS.  If you know of anyone that would want a 77 CB750 parts bike give me a shout.  It would be real cheap. Low compression on one cylinder.

We had a storm come through, the driveway spot got soft and she went down on the right side.  After we got her up I was not able to hold her and dropped her on the left side.  (here you can imagine an icon banging head on a a brick wall  ;D )

She broke left front turn signal and the headlight stopped working.

SS brake lines for the front.  Decent quality from ebay except bolts were too short to my liking so I reused originals.

Bleeders had to be cleaned but other than that it went without issues.

What were you doing in Madison Hts?   I had a buddy that lived there years ago...

My oldest daughter lives in MH for like 6 years.  She moved to Detroit when Chrysler offered her a job.  Nice, quiet neighborhood.  I cleaned her gutters and help with some plumbing, talked to her dogs and such. 

We went for few beer to Belgium pub called Cadieux Cafe.  Good times 😬
