FRANKENHONDA II the 1982 DOHC CB 750F2 Build

[cb250nproject]

So another update from Old Man Murphy’s shed

So from the first picture you can see where the front edge was marked up where it needed to be rounded off.

this was done with the router then finished off by hand

Next the hole for the bolt that tightens the grip around the fork needed to be drilled and have a thread tapped

It needs two slits cut, the hole in for the idiot lights then polish, polish, polish, polish

I’m actually thinking I need to go to a CNC engraver to get OMM or Old Man Murphy put on it now

Or just etch it.

So OMM put the final cuts in for the fork clamp

Then he counter sunk the bolt holes. He used a steel plate to ensure he didn’t go too far.

Now we just need to cut the slot for the idiot lights, engrave and polish it.

After it’s engraved I’m going to use the leftover gold powder coating and fill the engraving with it then try and bake it.

Hopefully it works

Do you have those laser engraving places in AUS? We have places here in the US that take a laser and they can engrave anything from wood to cold rolled steel. It’s a pretty cool process.

Anyone with a vinyl cutter can etch aluminum pretty simply, and with at least equal accuracy as any type of engraving.

That looks crazy
