I just looked and the gauge shows 10 pounds at rest with the motor not running so I'm sure it is off at higher pressure levels as well.  It has a fresh filter and 15-50W oil and the rings are not even close to breaking in so I'm not worried.  We'll see where it goes after some mileage!  ;)

I's all because of the decals!!  ;)  Thanks for your help!  I really tried to hide all of the DOT stuff blinkers, horn, lights etc ..... as much as possible to keep it clean but still legal.  The rear turn signals will be LED's on each side of the license plate.  Also with the built 850 motor and the Git Kit it is not just a pretty face  ::) ....

Thanks .... I am pleased with the way it turned out .... you always wonder when jamming on it over the winter.  The CR tank really makes these CB750's look different.

Nippon .. just stock 77-78's cut down and welded up with prep and paint, it makes for a really easy time and nice fit.

Looking Beautiful Mike.  I'm currently fitting a fiberglass seat/rear to my bike and I'm riding it bare until I upholster it.  I thought I was all tough until I took a 1 hour ride, I'm not so tough now.

Thanks - yeah the seat is the last big thing to get done ...... I may get it over to the trim shop tomorrow to get it started .....I used some of the closed cell foam I ended up using for the chin pad to make it bearable temporarily with Gorilla tape.  I carry some extra padding built in permanently on me just in case it's needed ! LOL  at least that's what I tell the wife!  ;D

Its a very nice build!!! Its clean and has a purpose from front to back.  To bad it has to have a license plate.  The bike will surely turn some heads!!
