May do some kind of a build on it but a friend has been bugging me for a cheap candidate to do a Bobber after he is done with his 450.  Should I let one go  ::)   ;D
   Eric

Tell your friend to bugger off and send all your surplus 750's to me Eric, I can get you a lot more than 150 bucks for each of them! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Sorry, Spanner1, I wimped out, way too much snow for me.  It snowed all day long with the roads staying real snotty.  :o

Bring your bike up here to our fridge, Dave, plenty of room to ride around in the snow.  I'll put you up, but you gotta buy your own beer, I don't drink! ;)

changed the oil, and oil filter, and dropped the needles one clip, far to hot up here...running rich as.

starting to get a tan plug now... and have got rid of the annoying 3500-4000rpm off throttle hesitation, and constant throttle stumble....so far.


washed the bike, got water in the electrics, had a ball.


great day=)

peace

needed help adjusting the valves since the shop manual instructions didn't make sense.  found out they're wrong, but got much help from mcrider.  anyhow, got the valves adjusted.  then polished and installed the valve cover.

Installed new O-rings to the oil pump after removing hardened old ones and some sealant gunk someone tried to use to stop leakage. Hoped for a test ride but at -1 deg C and an gray sky?  ::)
Sigh.

I was able to get the rearsets sorted out for my 77f.  Thanks to FunJimmy for making us the mounting brackets!

So will something like that be your next project?  You seem to have mastered the stock look, what about one of these?

suspended the lump at about eye level, cleaning between the fins w/scotchbright pads.  am leaning toward spraying the cases w/duplicolor and leaving the covers cleaned but not polished.

It's 40 degrees and windy today so all I've done to my two CB's is take these pics of them inside the garage. As you can tell Im a little cramped for space.
