Bumping this one up for Bill Benton to see how the mono shock set up was done. Still need to get some recent pics on here.

This is an old topic but I wanted to update it anyway. The owner of thisbike passed away several weeks ago. Sadly, his cancer returned and he could not overcome it's wrath. One of his last wishes was for the bike we built together to be turned over to me. His family called last week and I picked it up from his shop. We had removed the engine a while ago for maintenance and upgrading to an 836 kit but I never got a chance  to rebuild it for him as he has been battling this demon for some time now. I do plan to clean the bike up, build the engine and take the bike out some in memory of my old friend, mentor and brother from another mother. Rest in Peace Harry 'Pa' Cooper. 

Stay tuned. I will post updates as I put it back up.

Sorry to hear of your friend's passing Frank.

Ahhhhh, another project for you  :) ;) My blue project is progressing again. Looks like #3 was out of round TWICE. Second time not as bad haha. WTF?! Boxed up and heading to Kenny today for a fresh 915 kit.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

As I read through my old posts on this topic, it reminded  me of how long he was dealing with the cancer issue. Mixed emotions for me on this one because he was more like a big brother than a friend. I've stored the bike away for now but intend to work on it in a few months when I get my head straight. Shouldn't take long to built the engine and get it back on the frame. I'm shooting for the end of August to ride it.

Hate to hear about your problems Jerry. I know you felt it was fixed once and for all. Try to evaluate the underlying issue so you can fix it right this time.

Man its dust and dirty from sitting so long. I should have detoured by the car wash before I came to the shop.
