Re: What did you do to your bike today ? - LED bulbs in Headlight and new shocks
« Reply #19125 on: January 19, 2015, 11:52:31 AM »
I got my T10 Led bulbs for parking light. That match a bike from the 70's when LED Zeppelin and LED filled snow shoes with yellow snow according to Frank was very common... :o

 Hi beam LED H4 and T10 Led parking light.
I look forward to road test in the evening to check how the headlight will work. I'm sure that 9W LED parking light will be good enough during daytime.
I have not meaured the amps when light is on. I need to verify the chines bulb sellers selling low price bulbs and free international shipping. Really low price. I'm sure that I can give bad car drivers a flash in the eyes next season!!

Shocks taking bike back in time.

It has a windscreen too that I'm looking for, I was told it is off a 95 through 98 Honda 750 magnum, the front end is off a 77 Goldwing ....  By the way I have All the Original Parts if I decide to sell

Thanks Tim! I've been meaning to thank you again for the bar. Got it cleaned up nice and started straightening the tabs. Should work well! Thanks again!

Another box marked Honda arrived.... I had to while still available. Correct seat a must when tank, sidecovers, 4-4, shocks OEM style is mounted.
I might save it for special occations. OEM seat is complete, easy to swap seats. My old redesigned and the NOS.

Yes, the old one is very comfortable. It looks OK today with 4-1 but not with all other parts making my bike to look as new. Only headlight ears, black headlight and fork gators left in the journey back in time. Except the engine.
I might get an idea to do that too and unmodify the engine with std carbs. I need another CB750 project for the leftovers.
I get so many ideas on this forum!

Coming along very nicely. The complete bike under cover is probably a show stopper too.  8)
The ign. cover is temporary right?

That's all I had left in the pile of bits the bike was built from.

SeanBarney and I hooked up on a ride today to see our local rider friends of a local Vintage group in a very well equipped shop. Had fun getting lost getting there, then hit another friend with another "barn" with brewing equipment on the way back and think we may have had some fun on 4 wheels   ;D

Carbs and airbox have been degreased and reassembled.

Also did the HondaMan suggested rerouting of the two bowl breather tubes to the airbox. We'll see how that changes things come springtime.
