thanks RR, I appreciate the comments. I think it will turn out nice and clean up the rear end a bit. I am also going with the Joker Machine front LED's that are much smaller than what I am currently running.

So that license plate comes with the LED's already in it...?

Yep, it is a unit made by billet boys. They make a bunch of different billet license plate frames. They are not cheap but great quality.

RR, my pleasure... I have a slight addiction to billet.

Me too....

I just received a very nice billet "RSC" stator cover insert and a 1 off Yoshimura points cover, a little expensive but if you want quality you have to pay for it.....

Ok, I just got back into town and my fresh paint was waiting for me. I couldn't resist doing a quick mock up of the updated version of my 1977 f.

Thanks again to Larry at meticulous paint for his awesome vision and tremendous skills.

Thanks! I am super excited to get this thing wrapped up and back on the road so I can break in the new engine build. Then comes tuning.

Thanks fellas! I can't wait to get this thing tuned.

I've been subscribed to your thread since the beginning, but never chimed in. Time too... really nice job!

I've lost track of some of the finer points. When you get it running, give us a list of motor mods and chassis mods?

She is stunning. Fantastic work!

bwaller · « **Reply #665 on:** January 31, 2012, 04:36:51 AM »

I haven't checked in for a while, but oh man things are really coming together. Great looking motorcycle.

It'll be painful to get it dirty the first time!

WOW Has this been a BOTM yet? If not, when?

BOM is a given. Great build. Love the color scheme.

Agreed. It just keeps getting better. Really nice bike man. Perfect.

I rode it for the first time today and it is scary fast...

Still have to get the carbs dialed in a bit more but it just wants to go and go.
The plan is to get it as close as I can, break it in, then put it on the dyno. At higher RPM's it is a bit rough but when I twist the throttle there is no hesitation at all and it revs fast as hell. I have some bigger mains to try and also one size bigger pilot jets.

The clip ons and rear sets feel great! Thanks FunJimmy for the one off hangers!

I will get some outside pics up soon to show off Larry's amazing paint job. Special thanks to Mike Rieck for making my "go fast" project a reality.

Congrats and good work.

It's hard to explain to folks how fast these bikes feel. I've owned faster bikes, but I don't think any have felt like they were running out of road quite as quickly. Maybe its the copious amount of torque and the near flat torque curve. Whatever the reason, welcome to the "scary fast" CB750 club.

You are most welcome Tige. It was a pleasure and an honor! Great to work with you and David.

Good update and glad you are enjoying all that hard work. Looking forward to the outdoor shots and of course the dyno numbers. But at the end of the day whatever the numbers show ride the bike and enjoy it! It will only get better with time.

good luck
