Tom, is your camera not working ? I haven't seen it in person in a while so we need pics.
Check your e-mail a bit later, something for you to look at !
Found this bike in completely stock condition in Feb. 08. Paid over twice what my new one cost 30 years ago. Am trying to re-create the look of the late 70's Drag Bike styling.More later. 4-2-10 It ain't stock any more and I have no idea what I am trying to create !

Motion Pro cables
you have to tell them everything exactly how you want it they dont know the bike or the carbs its best just to send the old cables and tell em the length you want

i thought they was gonna be too long. but, no they are good

they feel real nice on them carbs too let me tell ya

shrink wrap and pretty everything up and fire it up for a little tomorrow

You Go Boy , NIIIIIIIIIICE,
I really like that anti fall over device on the left side of the bike, and it does double duty as a kick stand ? ;D ;D

Hey Tom , I dig that seat style, the only thing I've been able to come up with that will bolt on is that sofa that came with it ! I've been dikkin around with glass work until I found this guy on ebay :http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300408543336&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
This thing is great, super well made and very reasonable, the quality is awesome but it will take some modding to make it fit and look good. More later, don't wanna hi-jack but what the hell, take a look !

those 3 seats just don't seem to follow the lines of the tank, IMHO.

The first one, the Laverda style would work well with an "F" tank, but skip the rack on top.  The other two look like Yami smoker flat track seats.

just my .02

your only seeing 2 seats
the rack is so I can take long trips and have a place to tie down sleeping bag and tent. I am trying to make it so I can remove it for around town riding.

ya I think an F tank would be better looking
someday I'd like to get the 78 CB750F

ya I think it is some kind of flat tracker seat

as for mine I guess since mine is made to go on a CB750 that I would have liked for the back to cover the frame (where the tail lights used to go) and a way to mount to the stock hing and lock locations
maybe when I am done I'll use this one as a mold and make it like that ,  I like the shape of the rear just the details like I said ....well ,  uh ..suck!

fought with that #$%* last night for like 4 hours trying to make a contraption that will go under the bike and support the bike while its on the motorcycle/ATV jack stand without crushing my exhaust pipe, I saw somone else did the same thing    anyway its hard to hold the bike and get everything in the right spot and have it all be well balanced

I tried making some kind of a contraption to get my bike on the motorcycl/ATV jack (Sears Craftman) with the pipe still on the bike...still need to get it right
I am totally open to any ideas if anyone has done this!!! Driving me nuts!!

Something like this?
