That part's not so cool when you're doing 70mph on the highway and it's brake related :o

I just got a barrage of emails from utube about my bike... I guess I haven't posted up the results of how it ended.  I will update my build thread with end pictures soon. 
Glad it was in inpiration to some... hopefully even more with finished pics.

I don't know why you think it is running on two or three cylinders...????  It runs great and is pretty quick

FYI: the falling nut is from the kickstand bolt... was in the middle of welding on a kickstand...

maybe it's cause I'm not familiar with the sound of the 550.

I'm not fond of the handlebar choice, but it's a nice bike otherwise. I think drag bars would look better than the Z-bars.

Something about high pipes..
 IMO, unless they go inward at least a bit where the carbs are, the look is somewhat ruined. the straight back part looks pretty plain after them cool bends..

 I got 1080 to post some great pics of my high pipes on my 1/4 Century Pennzoil test thread.

 Anyway, I think there is a pretty good market for limited production of several styles of high pipes for 750,s. It allows you to run the frame so much lower for a pretty cool look.. after you move the  sidestand.

So where is spikey?  Have not seen him much here.  I hope he does not think I was really making fun of his bike a while back.  I was messing with him cause I knew it was his.  I actually like his bike and he has put a lot of good work into it.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

me and the boy went to Wauk-town's annual car and bike show  called "Scoop the Loop" ... the concept is , a four block area of downtown is turned into a big block party, and people drive  around the block all day and show off there rides.. revving engines, and laying rubber.... while the whole town walks the streets, gets drunk, and talks about gas tires and oil.    

it is mostly for the 4 wheeled enthusiasts, there were some pretty SWEET cars there, the bikes were not all that great this year .... but they never are at this particular show. ....

some of these shots look a little off ,cuz the boy was operating the camera for alot of them  ;D ;D









i have a real weakness for frenched lights and pinstripes.. i drooled on this guys car for quite awhile  ;)


the cool thing about Scoop the Loop is you get to see and hear the cars running
not just look at them sitting there




LOOK at that thing  :o :o :o :o :o that my friends , is a cherry Olds Skyfire




carbonfiber hood was fake, but man did this thing sound MEEEEAN




the only bike that I thought was cool


Ryden on the other hand , liked them all  ;D


i'll take $40,000 worth of "look how cool i am" thank you











this isn't really inspiring but i have to post it .....  

walking towards the end of where the show is , there are cop cars blocking the road, we had to walk around them to get across the street ,  i look down at this coppers hood ... and is covered in blood  :o :o

no clue what happened, but it goes to show ya .... cops don't #$%* around in my neck of the woods  ;D

I was looking for black and gold inspiration and came across this.  Sorta reminds me of one of those beautiful old custom Colt revolvers with all the scroll work.
