Project, "Because I Can" Page 1.......1/2....
« on: June 19, 2015, 12:35:09 PM »
Still looking for a frame for my 1976 CB750K, but lost some weight today for a good cleaning.
Also found a new home for the 750 seat on my 1981 CB650C.

Well, this morning I had an idea.
The old stock CB650 tank had fuel in it.........
I sprayed down the carbs and cables last night and this morning , everything moves again.....huuummmmm

Yep, it fired up!!!!!!
Aaannnnddd leaked fuel all over the carport. But what the hell, at least it did not "fire up"!

Had a couple hours to do some work on it today. Just too hot for anymore today!! I may bring this whole thing into the back room of the house.
Wiring ...... oh boy. Really not too bad of condition I think, but I will need some help putting this back. Hope to eliminate some of it and does it have to go back into the headlight bucket?
Old forks off and will be up for sale with other stuff after I am sure I don't need any of it for whatever direction I take this.
I like the look!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will really need some help with wiring guys. I can do all kinds of parts changing, and I know how to tune.....some. But wiring is not my thing. Carbs come off tomorrow and still reading about pods or a mod to the air box.

Also, what oil to use in the GSXR forks? Still best to use ATF?

And last, I have changed my build name to "The Bastard". Just seems to fit....
