Was hoping to have my cafe project done for the Harvest Classic if Fredricksburg TX this weekend, but a couple small setbacks are still keeping the bike off the road. So, I spent the last week giving my other cb750 a serious tune up. Good thing too, 'cause I think she was getting jealous...
Completely rebuilt the front end, greased steering bearings, new fork oil & seals, NEW PROGRESSIVE SPRINGS (awesome), replaced torn gator, rebuilt front brake and added stainless steel line. Also swapped out a broken left hand control on the handlebar and replaced my ratty grips with new ones. New speedo cable too.
Then tore down the rear end, greased the swing arm, adjusted the rear shocks, adjusted the rear brake, and adjusted and lubed the chain. Also replaced a broken bracket that holds up the rear of my exhaust.
Also, took off my velocity stacks (experiment) and replaced with K&N pods, adjusted the timing slightly, and the idle screws on the carbs. Put in fresh plugs, added fresh fuel line and filters, and changed the oil and filter. I even polished my saddlebags.
Ready for the road now, and she rides better than ever. Hope to see some Texas folks out in Luckenbach this weekend!
