Looked at the sky as it rained for the third day in a row it's rained in the afternoon. At this pace I'm never going to get out to the garage to tear down the engine

Stared at it, still waiting for my damn accelerator pump diaphragm. When you pay $12 to ship a tiny item like that, don't you expect it in 2 days?!?

In the meantime, working on a buddy's '78 SR500 thumper. Cool bike!

Just ran some quick errands, grocery store, post office, gas station. Beautiful afternoon here in Central Tx. I rode in a 3/4 helmet, t shirt, jeans and Chuck Taylors, this is really unusual for me as I almost never go out with out a jacket and boots..but damn it felt good.

Took off wheels and tires. The rear tire is showing cord, time for new one. Doing both in the same time - BT45s from Bike Bandit.

Started on my new muffler, gotta make one before my neighbors shoot me.

Replaced the shifter seal, polished up the shocks, gonna blast and paint the springs, now just waiting on my brakes and later on my swing arm. Then hopefully some riding before the weather gets foul

1976 CB550F
Replaced starter switch with Honda part 35130-377-P00.
Surprised it did not have locating pin.

Bought a CB650 cam.

...

A 650 Custom cam will work for the 550 cam swap right?

stripped it down to work on some welding. Building this bike for a bloke in Australia. This way it will be right side up when he gets it.

Took my (now stripped of nickel plating) rims to the powder coaters.

I slid the bracket for my fairing up to the top it was all the way down on the bottom triple clamp. I like it all the way up. Its sits with the top of the windshield just under my chin. new fairing cut drilled and mounted.
here is photographic proof with a close in of the space the bracket can move up or down.

Rode the 750, fired up the CA95, and worked on the lightened crank for the Yoshi motor

Installed new front wheel bearings. I did fack up the first set. The new ones are spinning smooooth.
It's looking a bit cafe-esque at the moment. Hmmmm.....

Dimitri13 · « **Reply #12071 on:** September 21, 2012, 08:22:09 PM »

I'd say it looks more dirtbike than cafe, sitting on the milk crate

On an unrelated note, I dropped the oil pan and found this

Cleaned up some parts, polished some other parts - there's a lot of alloy to be polished on a CB750... I think I'm getting better at it though!
Went through all the electrical bits I have to find the best parts to use and made a list of parts to buy - which is getting longer.
