I was at Tweakins house yesterday and saw the completed build. IMO, hands down the nicest CB out there. Pictures don't do it justice. Every bolt has been replaced with SS and every bolt has been polished to a chrome finish. Every wire has been wrapped with braided sleeving. Just about everything Joker Machine offers for a CB is installed. Every nook and and every crannie is spotless and this bike just screams beauty. Nice job man!

I honestly can not think of anything else I want to do to the bike with the exception of ride it.  Looking forward to a few clear days so I can put some miles on the fresh engine then get it dialed in with regards to tuning.

Amazing, simply amazing, not only is it great looking but the work done on it was first class as anyone willing to read this entire thread and the motor build thread can attest. You should be proud, NOW GO RIDE THE DANG THING!!
That which does not kill you leaves cool scabs which turn into awesome scars.

Incredible work Tweakin! I was impressed with the bike on the first go around, and now it is a true testament to quality craftmanship. This really turned out to be a great machine. If my 750F ends up looking a fraction as good as yours, I will be very happy.

Saw your bike on Pipeburn, Good job. Hopefully we'll get some good riding in this summer.

Looks GREAT!!  Can't wait to see a video of it running!!  Maybe I missed it, but where did you get the bobbins for the front and rear stands and how did you install them?

Thanks!  Here are the spools I am using.  https://www.vortexracing.com/shop/product/29601/1716/30/98/
The 6mm spools will screw into the GL front end, I believe is is where the fenders used to mount.  For the rear, I drilled and tapped the swingarm and added stainless washer and lock nut on the inside.

I keep looking at the pics and spot the subtle stuff like modern switch boxes etc. Makes my bike look like a POS! A quick and fast POS but still a POS! ;D ;D ;D ;D
