Frankenstuff I am digging the look bro! I've got some Shoei bags,not yet mounted. If its no trouble,could you snap a pic of the rear so I can see how they look and how they are mounted?

...took the K2 for a ride but I could not start the bike

Found an open petcock and a dead battery

Took the batt from the K1 and 2 kicks later the engine was running

Today came the gasket that I ordered a only a few days ago but it is looking like ~900ccm and not 836ccm.

Finally sorted out my bizarr miss after warm up. What felt like starving fuel issue turned out to be a faulty connection to one of the coils. Bike runs beautifully so I took it out for nice little spin the (finally) cool air. Had to actually layer up to keep warm!

Ok, so I am messing with the ZRX again. The clip ons made me feel badazz and everything but..out of balance. It was actually harder for me to cut into a corner while folded over. So I got a gold aluminum superbike bar and all I can say is WOW! It was like somthing clicked and the bike is now 100% dialed in. Like it was built for me and my riding style. Next thing will be a GP style or mini digital speedo tach from KOSO.

Also got the CB550 cafe bagger to turn over. Gas next weekend. Such a great feeling when things work.

(got onto the bike and hit 110mph before the corner) think I was in 3rd gear for christs sake.

I do "the ton" in 3rd gear.

Had to put in an order with HondaKeys.com

That sucks, but thanks for the link! I've been looking for a place to get a new key.

-----------------

I cut/sectioned/bent/welded my seat rails 2.5" lower today to put my seat at a much better looking angle. Next up is relocating my top shock mounts into the corner of where the rails now meet.

That's a cool looking scoot man. Your knees must be right in your armpits though!? Build thread?

Finally got arouund to ordering a 14mm hone for the rear master on my F. Guess I had a little corrosion get in there from not riding it much this year. Hopefully this will fix the sticky piston problem it has. I would be nice to have my rear brake back.

great shots Mick!
love the Capt. America Helmet, too

Very pretty Mick! Looks like a great place to ride as well!

Ran some errands on the bike this morning, one was to pick up a pice of rubber and make a new gasket for the pressure switch on my Central Pneumatic air compressor. Stupid part isn't available and it seems like it's a regularly failing item. Got that fixed then gave the bike a nice bath and wax. Looks as good as it runs now...which is to say spectacular!

...carb repair set came today, the Japanese post is FAST!!!
It took only 3 days, ordered the gasket on Friday and arrived on Monday morning

Right now I am charging the battery with my RC-charger.

Man this 750 sure likes to drink.....peered into the tank, figured had enough to get to work and back, 13 miles one way.

Got half way, started spitting.....changed to reserve, ran ok, till I got to the station.

Took 3.77 gallons @ 3.41 a gal. and now purrs like a large kitten.

Did a carb sync and went on the first ride in a couple weeks, after fighting a leaky carb, re jetting for the new breadbox air filter. Man it runs like a new bike, pulls hard in every gear & no bog or flat spots that I noticed. Idles smooth and steady, still have to do some proper plug chops and dial things in. Sure was nice to get back on my Cb.

#40 pilots
#120 mains
Needle clips in the second position
Mixture screws 1 turn out
Breadbox air box
4 into 1 pipe

I took the final ride of the season on my CB750A.
No "fall colors" left to look at, so I guess I'll put the bike away for the winter.
I've already filled the tank, put StaBil in the tank, next week I'll change oil and filter and perhaps take the oil pan off and clean the oil screen (or at least see if it needs it), the clean bugs and dirt off of it.
Then the tasks of winter will begin next week,

or later (dictated by availability of funds).
...New Tires...
...New Chain (perhaps a 560 conversion)...
...New Sprockets (to go with the 560 conversion).

Checked my plugs after last nights ride, looked good so I rode to work. Running great, no popping on decel anymore, pulls hard from gear to gear. I know it's too good to be true but my front brake stopped squeaking as well, I'll just enjoy it while it lasts haha. Plug chops on fri just to be sure things are where they should be, so happy to be back on two wheels
