Can you give us some more details on the swingarm? Price? Does it come unchromed? It looks just like what the rear of my '76F needs!

That tach looks like a 550 tach to me. Did the 750's and 550's share a tach at some point? danger zone is in the wrong place, and most of the 750 tach's I've seen only go to 11 grand om the face.

SohRon · « **Reply #55 on:** July 31, 2011, 11:28:10 AM »

I think the '750F models were similar, though I'm not sure. Hopefully someone who knows will confirm this...

I know my aftermarket one goes to 16k, not that I've ever tried to wind it anywhere near that though. The stock ones have been in a box so long I don't remember how high they go.

There are so many good things about that bike, well done.

I like the painted Comstars, makes me feel better about keeping mine.

The rearsets work well, the oil tank access is cool, and the swingarm is sweet.

Steel Dragon velocity stacks?

Very well done.

What a great bike you've built. I'll bet you can't park anywhere without drawing a crowd.

Hi ,
Thank you for the kind replies.
I have to do some adjustments, but the bike is running great.

Hi,
We have put the bike on the Dynojet and it gives about 45pk, so there is still a lot of tuning necessary.
Some pictures: new mirrors, new front fender and new chaincase.

How do you like the YSS shocks? Which model are they? And I may have missed it but where is the tank from?

Bike looks great!
Thanks
Andy

Very nice build.

Please give me some more info on blasting the engine. Did you use glass beads? And what did you do to i afterwards? Paint?
I love the look of the engine and I am currently going through the same progress som by cb500

maduncle · « **Reply #68 on:** October 02, 2011, 04:25:50 PM »

Aha!

Spacers off the frame bolts before the rearset plates - glad I had another look at your bike before I trimmed my bolts!

dakota · « **Reply #69 on:** October 02, 2011, 11:58:05 PM »

Yes, the same dimensions as the original pillion steps.
Otherwise the new rearset is too close to the frame.

greenjeans · « **Reply #70 on:** October 04, 2011, 05:19:04 AM »

Dakota - nice bike. Very tasteful and clean lines. Looks like Honda might have built it themselves as a prototype racer. Well done !

First I removed all the paint and afterwards I have blasted it with glass beads. Then som elbow grease... no paint.

Thanx all for the replies.

Where did you get the tun signals?

Exactly the style I'm looking for.

Thanks
