Nice project, cdoggy81.

Did you get the dyna s ignition new at 89$? If so, where from, if you don't mind me asking?

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #28 on:** May 05, 2009, 02:59:46 PM »

It was new but on eBay. Same for the coils & plug wires for $61. $150 for a complete Dyna setup ain't bad

Very nice work!
Just wondering that paint you used for your tank and side covers?
Thanks,
Jason

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #33 on:** May 06, 2009, 04:18:00 PM »

I didn't feel like getting my new spray gun out & going to the store for paint so I used some Rustoleum semi-gloss in a can I had sitting in the garage

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #34 on:** May 06, 2009, 06:24:34 PM »

Nothing major done tonight as I laid some sod when I got home...

Did manage to get the front fender off & finish polishing up the headlight bezel.

jasonseasen · « **Reply #35 on:** May 06, 2009, 09:15:51 PM »

Cdoggy, did you use the same Rustoleum on the headlight cover as well? Also, with the pic of the tank and sidecovers, is that straight paint without a clearcoat? Thanks!

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 07, 2009, 02:38:09 PM »

Yep, all the same paint. Restoleum semi-gloss straight from the can.

jasonseasen · « **Reply #37 on:** May 07, 2009, 05:34:00 PM »

Nice, your work sold me on it!

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #38 on:** May 07, 2009, 08:47:06 PM »

With the help of my good friend Midnight08 ( http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=44096.0 ) she is OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH bud, I totally could not have got the engine out on my own. You rule!

I also included a quickly done pic on MS Paint of how I'm going to do the bike colors.

"Next weekend is finish redoing engine."
A little longer than a week but I did finish the engine finally & almost done with the frame...

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #43 on:** November 24, 2009, 01:21:39 PM »

Got the frame & fender painted. Next up is to put the engine back in & start the rebuild process

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #44 on:** November 24, 2009, 02:47:51 PM »

thats a mighty fine looking bike you got going there Mr. Chris..... i dont know how i missed the updates on your thread.... just saw the motor... looking good brother. we will get this beast up and running yet.....

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #45 on:** November 24, 2009, 03:21:27 PM »

I thought you saw the motor when you borrowed the tach & cable???

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #46 on:** November 24, 2009, 04:04:06 PM »

it wasnt painted up i dont think.... Thanks for reminding me as well... i need to bring that stuff over to you tomorrow.

joec3613 · « **Reply #47 on:** November 24, 2009, 06:16:30 PM »

So what did you end up doing for the tail? Looks like you just replaced the shocks with solid bars? I'"m still debating on doing a hard tail on my CB550.

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #48 on:** November 24, 2009, 06:55:31 PM »

Ya, that is what I did. That way on long rides (like to Biketoberfest) I can use the shocks then later switch to solid struts for that "hardtail" look without all the abuse.

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #49 on:** November 25, 2009, 04:07:18 AM »

ohhh... that reminds me that we need to get all the florida SOHC4 owners together for a ride to daytona Bikeweek in the spring....
