It is great to have rearsets on a F.

(One step farther) mounted onto existing bolts!!

what kind of bolt are you using on swing arm pivot bolt? there isn't enough room on mine to add a 1/4 on both sides and have enough threads to safely tighten down the swing arm.

Stock F2 bolt, with the stock foot controls removed. Plenty of room.

from the pictures, it looks like you are utilizing the stock foot control/ lower motor mount bolt (which without the stock foot controls mounted would have plenty of extra room for a bracket) , and the upper bolt on your rear set bracket is what appears to be the swing arm pivot bolt which doesn't have anything mounted on it normally. so I am wondering where you are getting the extra length from on the upper mounting bolt for your rear set mounts.

just curious as my swing arm pivot bolt and all the other CB750's that I have encountered don't have enough length on them to make a bracket like this

tweakin · « **Reply #604 on:** December 29, 2011, 07:35:38 AM »

Yes I do us the swingarm bolt, but the bike is a 77f so it has a longer swing arm bolt than the 75/76f or K models. See picture below. The 77/78F have a large bracket that hangs off the engine and swingarm mount bolts for foot controls and passenger pegs.

I hope this clears things up.

That is convenient on the later Fs. For a dedicated build/conversion, a good machinist could easily turn a new, longer swingarm pivot bolt for those of us who might need it. Hmmm

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #606 on:** December 29, 2011, 08:34:29 AM »

ahh gotcha. I forgot you were using a 77f.

I like that set up. I got rid of those big aluminum brackets, and had a machine shop shorten and re-thread my swing arm bolt. The rear sets I have bolt around it.

Would love to see pictures of those rear-sets.

I'll post about them on my thread. I don't want to hi-jack.

scroggins, those rear sets look good. I thought about using the K rear sets also but when FunJimmy decided to lay down some custom machine work to make new hanger which also allowed us to upgrade to Brembo master I could not pass it up. We also got rid of the old aluminum chunck that was stock but only needed to shorten the engine mount bolt.

scroggins5000 · « **Reply #611 on:** January 06, 2012, 02:07:40 PM »

Those look real nice. Doesn't it feel good to get rid of those big chunks of metal? Where did you pick up your master cylinder?

FunJimmy, props on the machine work!

great work on a very great bike. I'm new to the place and have found your built to be a great guide to my self and hope to find more. I just picked up a 74 cb750k that is starting to have a new life. Thank you for all the helpful links and info you gave all of us. How do you like the roadrunners and do they hold the road well

I just received some teaser pics from Larry at Meticulous Paint today (Nvr2old) http://meticulouspaint.com/. Tins still need to be polished but I am so happy with the results. I told Larry the color combo I wanted but gave him artistic freedom on the lay out, and I am glad I did. Thanks Larry, you have a gift.

Love the combo. The red stripe really makes the paint jump. Great job.

Freaky1 · « **Reply #622 on:** January 12, 2012, 08:17:57 AM »

That paint looks amazing! Having followed your build for quite a while the one thing I always liked was the color but the new stuff will really take an already outstanding bike and push it completely over the top. Congrats, I can't wait to see it all on the bike.

Also thanks for the link to the master you used, I have some plans I'm working on in my head for my next project and I had hoped to find masters that I could mount anywhere.

scroggins5000 · « **Reply #623 on:** January 12, 2012, 09:20:24 AM »

Nice! That red really jumps out at you. I was thinking about getting a red pinstripe put on my gray tank and side covers. This makes me want to do it even more!

very nice tweakin, those 'tins' will look outstanding.
