Started assembling the coated parts 8)

Elektrix !

Put the new bronze bushes in the swingarm.
Do i still need to use the "dustcovers" when mounting with these ?

Also mounted new bearings on the front-end and put the legs in.

Re: CB750 K6 Dutch Barnfind

Searching for the rims I found these on E-bay ( italy )
http://www.ebay.nl/itm/COPPIA-CERCHI-ALLUMINIO-ALUMINUM-RIM-Honda-CB750-PROFILO-TIPO-BORRANI-RECORD-/221145236037?pt=Ricambi_e_Accessori_Moto&hash=item337d488245

They recommend 18"x 2,50 rear, and 19"x 2,50 front.
Original is mounted 18"x 2,15 and 19"x 1,85 if i'm correct.

For the rear i would think 2,5 could be ok, but for the front ? isn't that too wide ?

I do think it would look very cool though..... so which tyres should then be used ?
Not the "standard" 4R18 and 3,25R19 I would guess ?

this is the idea:

But with these short fenders and rims like these:

Hi Guys,

As posted in Wheels and Brakes:
http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=43228.0#new

I found a picture on the net of an awesome drilled CB750 rotor/ brake disk.

However I cannot find the drilling pattern anywhere, and I'm not skilled to make my own.

Does anybody have this pattern by coinsidence ?
Or can someone make it for me ?

I would be most thankfull for that

Really nice to see how you treat this old lady. A mixture of reusing old parts and new. Do like the looks you are aiming for as well!

Tetter · Jan 11, 2013

Re: CB750 K6 Dutch Barnfind

Ordered me some tyres.
I'm also posting on a Dutch forum, and a shop owner saw the build and was interested in the powder coated rim's I'm not going to use.
Got me a nice price on some Avon Roadrider AM26 tyres 8)

Re: CB750 K6 Dutch Barnfind

was wondering if you still have the oem exhaust and want to part with it.. and how is the engine soda blasting coming along?

Tetter · Jan 25, 2013

Re: CB750 K6 Dutch Barnfind

Hi Bert Jan,
Still no news from the soda guy, far to cold to start working on the engine anyhow

send you PM about the exhaust.

Re: CB750 K6 Dutch Barnfind

Update

Got some AVON tyres mounted.

Now she's a roller again 8)
Bit of a strange stance if you look at it without tank and seat.....

Also bought me some drilled rotor's from the dutch craigslist.

Going for a double frontbrake , now searching for the rest of the parts.
