Welcome. It's always good to see fellow Michiganders on the board, especially ones with CB750s. Where are you at in the Mitten?

I was wondering about this one, not so glad about life getting in the way, but happy to see that you're still working on her.

I dig it man. I've got a '65 Fairlane sitting in my garage waiting for me to get the cash around to buy a new drive train for it. It's good to see more mild customs coming out of the woodworks.

Gorgeous. I might be interested in one for my 1980, if you're going to be producing them for DOHC models.

I ordered one of their Daytona seats for my SR250 without measuring and had to cut about 2 inches out of the center, but I went through the same debate. There are too many bikes around where the owner just threw the first seat they could find on it to pass the bike off as a cafe racer and they...

I had the benefit of working in a factory with a vacuum sealer after the last time I sandblasted mine, and what I did was spray it down with WD-40 as frogman suggested and sealed it up in a plastic bag. Of course, I was lucky there, in your case, I'd follow his advice and fog the inside and...

Gnarly little bike man. I love those small cc bikes.

That looks like a blast... too bad I'll be up in Remus at the Wheatland Music Festival that weekend.

Now I'm just sad about the gaps between craigslist find and finished goods. I'm definitely looking forward to this good news, though.

Yeah, yeah... we get it... you've still got to wait a few more weeks before the Kaw comes down and your 550 gets its own bike of the month banner. I'm certainly glad I wont be competing against you in any way. Oh... and great fucking job on the bike man. It's beyond a doubt one of the coolest...

I've got to say, I still get chills when I listen to Hank Sr. Also a lot of Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, Hank 3, Justin Townes Earle, The motherfuckin' Pogues... Though sometimes I've gotta admit to rocking out to a little bit of everything else, Beastie Boys, Bruce Springsteen, Alkaline Trio...

I've heard rumors that the XT kick-start mechanism will transfer over... in which case you could almost ditch the starter motor altogether. On my list of pipe-dream mods for my $50 SR250 that doesn't seem too feasible when looked at through the lens of reality.

The flywheel cover on mine is cracked too, though it was from the previous owner doing god-knows-what. .. wish I could say it was due to a 300ZX though, as I almost bought a couple Z31s back in the day and still hope to someday pick one up.

Ok, so the long-form build certificate checks out, great... but what about his periodic maintenance forms? You can't just become BOTM with one or two oil changes and a transmission flush... there's something just not right here.
