1982 CB750F Resto-mod. At least that's the current plan.
Got all the scaffolding off the back of the bike, here's what I got up for grabs -
Front fairing -
Crash bars -
Two floorboards -
Forward controls w/floorboards -
Saddlebags & bracket (maybe off a Rebel?) -
Sissy bar (off a Rebel) -
Saddlebags & sissy bar may be spoken for - if it doesn't work out then like everything else it's all free, just cover postage (from here in Canada). Lemme know =)
Picked up a tank today, it's taken one for the team but it should pop out (any suggestions on how to do that would be gratefully received) but inside is spotless, no rust or varnish at all. And that means no MEK, and that's a wonderful thing.
It's a K model tank and that's fine by me. Although the bike is an F, I prefer the styling and lines on the K tank and love the gold pinstripe. Got a colour scheme in mind, and I'll definitely be incorporating that gold pinstripe into the design.
Bike-like.
And here's what I pulled out of the air filter housing...
Gotta hand it to the little guy, that looked snug. If I was a rodent shivering away in a Quebec winter I'd've made my crib as comfy as possible too. Sorry fella, you're evicted.
Also checked compression today -
Cyl #1 - 165psi
Cyl #2 - 170psi
Cyl #3 - 165psi
Cyl #4 - 165psi
Pretty damn good. I mean, shit - factory is 170psi +/- 14psi according to Clymers. This thing's barely lost anything in 35 years. Gotta hand it to those Japanese, they sure know how to build an engine.
