Nice neat work mate, looking good! Cheers, Terry.

Ok..... How much oil do i need. The tank is either going in the swingarm, or under the seat.... Can I get by with 2 qts

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #53 on:** May 15, 2012, 12:00:22 pm »

Nope, the standard tank holds around 3 litres mate, that's around 5 pints? Cheers, Terry.

Great work with some really innovative ideas!

I'm really enjoying your thread.
Cheers.

The forks are 37mm, the triples are wider and the stem swap was pretty simple. The stock cb750 stem is a larger diameter. I sleeved the inside of the stem and then brazed the insert in. After pressing the stem in and welding it's a perfect match.

Thank you for all the kind words...

Swingarm oil tank.
I'm going to piggyback this off the bottom of my swingarm. Offset so the chain clears...... Drill holes in each leg and make a nice plate with a breather and cap

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #59 on:** May 17, 2012, 02:47:55 pm »

Cool! That should work mate, well done! Cheers, Terry.

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #60 on:** May 17, 2012, 07:00:51 pm »

Checked the clearance and chain line. It's a go

Swingarms ready

That should work

You will get into some challenges when you are about to put on the oil lines. But it can be done:) I used pretty thick hydraulic hoses and they where a pain to work with.

I own a hydraulic/fab shop so Lines should be pretty easy .I'm going to use a SS braided Teflon and am going to modify the the engine side ends to take JIC - 8

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #65 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:07:20 am »

I have two extra swingarms.... Any interest if I make a couple of these? Would come with oil lines.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #66 on:** May 23, 2012, 12:44:30 am »

Yep, I'm interested mate, I presume it'll come with a threaded cap and a breather pipe too? Cheers, Terry.

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #67 on:** May 23, 2012, 07:22:00 am »

as soon as a get this bike together and make sure the ports are in an ok area I'll make a couple of these. Yes It will have the threaded cap, an inlet and outlet port, port for a breather, and SS lines and adapters to hook to engine.

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #68 on:** May 23, 2012, 07:16:58 pm »

Getting ready to put the motor back in.....

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #69 on:** May 24, 2012, 12:13:24 am »

Nice! Have you measured the capacity of your combined swingarm/oil tank? I'd love one with a larger capacity than the stock tank, if possible? Oh, and I'd want shock mounting points like yours, of course. Cheers, Terry.

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #70 on:** May 24, 2012, 06:41:47 pm »

Wiring harness is done and the motors back in.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #71 on:** May 25, 2012, 12:13:03 am »

Very nice!

Tews19 · « **Reply #72 on:** May 25, 2012, 07:23:59 pm »

Got my attention. How long do you think before ETA on the road?

brandEn · « **Reply #73 on:** May 25, 2012, 10:01:27 pm »

Im REALLY diggin this build. Is the tank in final position? Looks like the ass end of the tank needs to come down about an inch or so from the pics...

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #74 on:** May 25, 2012, 10:12:26 pm »

Tank isn't set yet.....
