Like I sad the picture is misguding. Lower mounting point on swingarm is not finished so shock is at the wrong angle and when in right position shock reservoir is going 50mm inside of space for air filters.

I mean I am hoping there will be no interference with filters. I tried guess how much space I will need for filters...

Yes bars are angled up... But when you combine that angle with angle of forks they level to be straight... compered to ground.

Very Very cool. So Custom, it's become something else. Great work man, not many people can pull a bike like this off so elegantly. Really looking forward to seeing it completed.

Thanks! Will see where this "customness" brings me :) This is taking to much time if you ask me.. and yes money :)

I dont recall whether you were ever asked or stated; are you planning to install a frame kit for servicing/installing the motor? I'd encourage you to, also to design something especially elegant if you do  ;)

I need to think about it. But yes good point probably it is a must have especially because there will be also so many modifications on the engine. I will see if I can think of something elegant ;)

Rear tire/wheel has a great meaty and aggressive look to it. Nicely achieved so far.

VERY NICE ;)

754 makes a weld-less frame kit ;)

I started with a CB750A frame.  Now looking at a few of your parts ;D

BTW........I have a little experience with building the F2 motor.....but you may choose to go your own way........and that's THE BEST 8) 8) 8) 8)

So current state of build is this.

Frame modifications are done more or less. I am waiting for tarozzi rear sets to arrive so I can test rear brake cylinder. Front brake cylinder is mounted below tank. I need to make custom brake cable.

But I will need to make something like 754s frame kit. I thinks 754s kit perfect. Just shipping would cost me more then kit....

Metal shaping work has begun... I hope I will get the tank and the tail before the end on this month. I will post pictures of progress.

I ordered some things from CycleX for my engine... It will be a 836cc

Currently I am designing all the chain tensioners. I need to correct weak points of cb engine before I upgrade the power :) you can follow the design process in high performance part of forum.

Also I will vapor blast all the engine parts(cases, head etc...) and I will do vapor blasting by myself with some improvised equipment because where I leave no body is doing good vapor blasting :)

Shipping with tracking is around 30 bux or so...... but be about 2 weeks to get more ready..
