thank you i named this project Sarah after my first wife she was unfortuatly the innocent victom of a drive by shooting .... i original bought this bike to teach her to ride on but funny how life changes things any not going to ramble but after haveing my head stuck you no where for the last three years i figured it was tome to start  doing something productive again... using this bike as a test bed for my phantom style gauges completely blacked out except for needles until the switch is turned on some other fancy things as time allows peace later

Very nice! Great name too (my daughter is named Sarah), so sorry to hear the circumstances of how it came about but a lovely tribute.
I like the clever "POP" on the gage too. Keep up the great work.

Did you resize it? usually 1024x768 at 85% brings the file size down. You can bring it as low as 80% before noticeable degradation of the image happens.

[77cafe750]

ok still playing lets try this

[Zaipai]

Much better.. I sure like the stance of that thing.. The tank is not my style but the rest is really in good shape..

Thanks!

tank is temporary i went to repaint repaint sine thats what i do for a living and the PO apperently tried to fix the tank with a heavey ball pean hammer at one point and bondoed it all up so now i am loocking at tanks just not sure if i wnat to go with an early style stock tank or if i want something closer to a cr750 or dunstall tank definatly getting turned solo seat cafe style peace and thanks for the picture help it took me a little while to figure it out i do alot of this from my smart phone peace crash

[Zaipai]

Dunstall would be awesome, however its pricey unless you can do it yourself..  With tanks getting harder and harder to find for these 70's CB's seems to me there could be some money to be made by some one that can reproduce them exactly. Still I see your point and wish you luck. If your patent you will find one to be sure.

Glad it worked out for you, I use it a lot to post images here.. Tho it could be easier for me to get an account with Imagshak or Photobuck etc..

 so after a short hiatus for jail time my project is back on track crabs are being rebuilt now will have pics of that as well as maybe a step by step seeing as lots of my local friends want to learn also may be replicating a stock tank in fiberglass as well as working on my custom one piece fiberglass seat and tail i need to get things caught up at the shop before i can  i post pics will also be doing a tank with knee bolsters and handle bar "dents" but i have about a month on either the seat will be in prototype shortly also working on streted boxed style swing arm with mono shock peaCE crash

Those gauges are intense, brother. Story is too; a #$%*ty situation. I'm not into crushed velvet, but I gotta say that that's a clever cover up for a beat up tank. The flow of from the handles, down the tank, and up through the seat makes me think of a wave coming in to crash on a beach.

Looks like you need some:

Gauges
tank


If gauges work for you, cool.  I like mine to be a little more preceise than just a scribbled number "5" around 5,000-5,200 or so.

Again, if it works for you, go with it.  I'm a little more demanding on gauge precise~ness, I guess.

Tank.....well....velvet?   Okay....it's YOUR bike......

Welcome to "the fold"
