Well, it hasn't happened for me yet. I'm moving my resto project into a tool shed to get it cleaned up for the riding season and working in anything serious at my brothers place, an hour out of town.

Good looking stuff Hossier, I have filed the slot out on Al and steel before although I have access to a metal fabricating shop on occasion. I have also milled Al with a wood working router mounted inverted in a table. Screws or copious double sided tape holds the work piece to a full size...

Nice job Neb_Rex, I'm liking the sturdy arm construction.

Hey crew, thanks for the help. I'm gonna try this weekend and mock up what I need. I have 3/16" cr plate, should be plenty strong. That video from Ichiban Moto looked good at first, I should read the disclaimer before pushing the play button.

Haha, very good. I a little older than the crowd that is concerned with what people think of my thought process and I certainly get that a large portion of the Cafe scene will not have heard of Johnny Cash or find the strained reference as entertaining as I do (or once did). There are a lot of...

Hey, I would like to make my own rear sets for a track project. Has anybody taken pics of a successful DIY project? I think a bike specific fabrication in 12g and mounting bracket welded on would be lighter than multi fit Aluminum. I could be wrong... This will be going into a '76 GS750

The last commuter was a 1978 CB550K, it is destined to be overhauled for my niece when she starts to ride. I got the bike from my brother on the condition that it come back when I am finished riding it. I have never done a cafe conversion, mostly because I don't have the time or finances to...

Hey HR, I bought a 76 GS750 for $500 without a title 6 years ago. I cant get it licenced as it has the old serial # and not the standard VIN and no history. I've put about 100 hours and $500 into it so far; rebuilt carbs and petcock, both calipers and master cylinder, changed wheel bearings, new...

Cool HR, I am trying to cut down on my travel time myself. Need the time to chop up a GS750 for a track bike and plug the leaks in the commuter GS750.

Hey, are there any open shared space arrangements? Ideally in east Toronto or south Scarborough. I need space periodically to take a bike apart, possibly to paint but not necessary, heat is a bonus. I come with my own tools and a decent background of mechanical and automotive/bike...

Hey Tonners, I'm looking for a seat pan for a '76 GS750. I'll take a seat in any condition if it has an intact pan or enough that it can be repaired. I will be reforming it but I would like to get an idea of the original shape/geometry. It is going into a track day build. Thanks,

Thanks all, the wreckers still wanted to hold on to the parts and sell the whole rocker cover. I did get one from a rider though. Great help all, thanks!

Hi and thanks, TO Cycle is gonna get me one but not until Monday now. They are the guys on Lakeshore and Brown's line, very good guys they are. Being the busy season, most shops didn't have the time to look for this small/odd a part on it's own. Ive tried Honda and had no luck, mabye...

Hi All, Does anybody have a Rocker Adjuster Cap :o ? I had one go missing on the way to work! It's a '78 CB550K. This is clearly my penalty for spotty maintenance... Lady Honda has been sitting for a few weeks due to the newest oil leaks appearing in the garage, when I had the...

Hope this is the right page, I need help finding a local supplier who will have O.E. type air filter for '78 CB550K. Some shops can gettem in 2-3 weeks! Also who has a spare speedo cable for same???? thom
