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

Got halfway through my drag bar install prior to the starter button housing exploding. RadioShack... here I come!

Good looking bike Joey. That grab bar should look nice on there.

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!

Nice to have one for everyday riding and one for show.

Four and a half grands worth of parts and machining are starting to come together.

My engine builder (Nic) is doing a fantastic job!

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.

The ign. cover is temporary right?

I thought perhaps the engine rebuild was just going to stand the bike on its head!

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

Anybody got a spare they wish to part with?

...moved the bikes for winter sleep and just finished a valve cover.

Replaced my disintegrated starter button with a momentary spdt pushbutton. Fired right up!

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

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.

Finally removed the massive tail light "tower" structure. Rewired and mounted the rear blinkers in the holes where the frame meets the rear fender. Drilled holes in the rear fender and wired up a Lucas style tail light. Had to drill some holes in the Lucas license plate bracket to fit a Georgia plate. Plugged in a new Emgo ignition switch (the original was fried) and moved it from the bars to its proper place below the tank. Got my local cycle shop to put a new tube in my front tire because the old one went flat at about 40 mph. Called the cops on some dude who tried to fight my neighbor. Had a beer.

Yep. Looking at your avatar, I can guess why you may have wished to tone down that 'tower of tail light power' behind a cafe seat.

Glad you had a beer.

Have another.

Put the front end back together on my K4 after installing All Balls steering bearings and fork seals and boots. Everything went well and the forks ears lined up great. Think I will do a good tuneup/maintenance routine on the engine etc and hopefully be good to go when the robins fly.

Finished a Honda C50 engine (for my brother's C50), to make room for the CB400F engine. It's the spare engine, he's doing 10.000 km per year. After 20.000 km, I just swap engines, gives me time to do things in between other projects. After 20.000 km it only needed a re-bore and a valve job, new points and a new condenser. As an experiment I mounted a carburettor from a more modern C50. Mileage is around 60 km per litre.

My K6 got its new Ikon shocks mounted. Look much better and match the chromed chain guard very well.
I'll restore the old Marzocchi AG Strada later on. Need another bike for them
