Hi Rob

Are you taking numbers/deposits for next order?

If so please put me down for a set.

Greggo · « **Reply #51 on:** May 27, 2011, 01:54:19 AM »

I'd also like a set. Are they the same size for the 500/550's?

voxonda · « **Reply #52 on:** May 27, 2011, 03:32:54 AM »

Depending on the results of this first batch, I will prep for another one. Expect them to be in the mail this afternoon.
@Jon: You'll be on the list.
@Gregg: read your PM. Cannot say for sure that the 550/500 are the same as the 750. Have to check on that. If my memory serves me right they are, but do not know for sure. Old(er) man with memoryspan of about one hour. LOL

At last got my nuts on my desk

Will PM, the lucky ones, to close the deal.
Thanks for your patience, and for the few that have to wait a little longer, I am sorry.

Rob

voxonda · « **Reply #59 on:** May 28, 2011, 07:53:55 AM »

Just for future reference I compared the weight of the Ti nuts with the OEM ones. I weight 4 pieces, just 'cause I had 4 OEM ones on hand.

These are the OEM ones.

Here you can see the considerable weight gain. They are weighing 49.05% of the OEM's.

The Ti nuts are produced according to DIN931 and looking good. For me "mission accomplished".
Cheers, Rob

Nice! I know everybody that gets a set(s) appreciates your efforts Rob.

Silverback · « **Reply #61 on:** May 28, 2011, 08:41:04 AM »

I certainly appreciate it! Just hope I'm high enough on the list. These will be the icing on the cake for my 850 build. It's already running great, but with these and the lightened arms..............

You're a good man for the effort that you've put into this Rob.
I remember Axl talking about turning the stock nuts to half height or there abouts.
He'll be watching I'm sure.

A man dedicated to 750 Fours who's dearly missed.

voxonda · « **Reply #64 on:** May 28, 2011, 10:52:36 AM »

Hey Mick,

Thanks, really hoping Axl is enjoying the things we do around here. I certainly know that he loved his motorcycles and the CB750 in particular. To this day I still miss him a lot, after meeting him in Amsterdam were we talked for hours about 'our' bikes.
AXL, NEVER AND i MEAN NEVER FORGOTTEN! R.I.P. MY FRIEND.

wannabridin · « **Reply #71 on:** June 12, 2011, 10:54:53 AM »

one thing i thought of... would the best bet for the adjuster "screws" be to just get new ones? or are there any other "performance" options??

jaguar · « **Reply #72 on:** June 13, 2011, 05:32:28 PM »

Got mine today.
Thanks very much

Hope that im on the list for another set....

MRieck · « **Reply #73 on:** June 13, 2011, 06:17:05 PM »

mick7504 · « **Reply #74 on:** June 21, 2011, 04:01:30 PM »
