Between apartment fires and weddings and poker runs I finally managed to get back on track. I got the sprocket cover done and the bracket that has nothing to do but hold the horn.













then moved on to the motor mounts.

  I got my seat pan almost done and bent. But then the frame mount didn't fit so I had to make another.

Amazing.  I can't believe you have the patience to drill a ba-jillion holes!  Bike looks good.  I really like the stance of the bike and your pedals (controls/brakes).
But I need Tacos!  I need them or I will explode!

If he bought nuts and bolts like the ones used on aircraft, he can have holes in them too!  ;D ;D

Or he can drill them himself.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

thanks ratchet! I am getting ready to ditch the 17" wheel and tire in the back for a 16" harley wheel and honda hub, I just dont know how big of a 16" tire I can fit on a 3" wide rim. I have 130 and I have heard 140. So back to the research! I will be in the lab if anybody needs me.

This build gets a seal of radness.  ;D

FWIW, I'm not a shill for Race Tech - I've just got a thing for good suspension and the RTCE's are the most cost-effective mod for these old damping rod front ends.

Rustrocket, are you spinning those brass stacks yourself?!?!

If so, dude, you've GOT to include some pics, or even a video.

Build is looking better than ever!
