My project bike is startin to come along but i have another question. Can I use the chrome swing arm from my 1973 CB750 in my 1976 CB750 project frame? It is still in very good condition and I think it looks much nicer than the black one that was on the 76 when i got it. Thanks again.

I think you should be ok, pm Hondaman to be sure, he's got a good grasp of swingarm specs over the years.

hate to be a d1ck but this is posted in the wrong area. this area is to show off the project you are working on. pet peeve of mine.

to answer the question, should not be a problem

Sorry about the mispost. I guess I should post some pics of "OPERATION BIRTH KONTROL"

Roach Carver · « **Reply #4 on:** June 12, 2009, 07:47:44 PM »

post pics and then we got a project thread

Ok here we go with "OPERATION BIRTH KONTROL" To start off it is 1976 cb750. I am using a 1978 f tank , clubmans, and fiberglass cafe seat.

BREAKTIME !

I cut some test stripes for the tank and tail. Its kind of hard to tell but they are charcoal mettalic with flat black, and red checkers.

1940's Ford led taillight.

Random parts.

motor looks great

OK I'll bite, whee did the Op Birth Kontrol come from? A long as your in the garage, you can't be makin babies?

Is the Frame red or orange. Either way looks great.

And the motor is a nice touch too!

I'm 99% sure you can swap the swingarms, but you'll still need confirmation from someone who knows...and finally.

Not enough people take advantage of the room they have overhead. My shop looks like a Max and Erma's restaurant, all kinds of stuff hanging from the ceiling

That motor looks sweet! And I LOVE the trashcan!

That trash can is AWESOME!

Oh, and sweet bike.

The frame is red but sometimes with the flash it kinda looks orange. Thanks for all the good comments on my project and on the trash can monster. I think it is actually starting to look like a motor cycle. As far as the name "OPERATION BIRTH KONTROL" I like to name all my projects and since it is a one seater I won't be able to take any MORALY CAUSUAL FEMALES for a ride. Hence the name "OPERATION BIRTH KONTROL"

P.S. my last big project was "OPERATION VIOLENT PORNOGRAPHY"

OOPS!!!! I saw this post today...read your question...and then reported to the moderator with out scrolling down more and seeing that it was in fact a project thread. Sorry.

You could go back to your original post and rename the 'Subject' to Project Birth Control. Then it won't show up as "another swingarm question" in the list of topics. That might keep any others that have the same pet peeve as me from reporting it inadvertently. Just a suggestion. We ALL gotta keep one-off tech questions out of the Project Thread or it becomes worthless.

Now for your bike. The engine looks fantastic! I can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Thanks for the tip I will edit the title.

Ecosse · « **Reply #14 on:** June 23, 2009, 12:31:32 PM »

great start! i like what you're doing on this, the type of seat is one of my favorites, checkered looks great, and love the trash can; monster one and one filled with dead soldiers.

what paint did you use one your engine case and cover?

greenjeans · « **Reply #15 on:** June 23, 2009, 01:11:20 PM »

Agreed....that satin black looks fantastic on that head....

The motor looks fantastic.

I cleaned it all with engine degreaser, simple green, purple power, rags ,tooth brushes, wire brushes, 3m abrasive pads, and coat hangers. i cleaned it all again with wax and grease remover. Then painted it with that low gloss black engine. I wanted to do the whole thing black but i was afraid that if i missed anything in between the cylinder and head fins that the paint may flake or chip. So i just painted them with the silver engine paint.

Hey, that low-gloss black is the same paint I used on my bike frame

I'm real happy with it so far. Lookin real good man, keep it up!

The more I look at those gauges the more of a "Gears Of War" feeling they have to them.....

Mainly b/c of the Cog image

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:00:29 AM »

That is a KUSTOM MADE GEAR SPADE.

Those gauges are super rad.
