I took mine out for a 20 mile shakedown today. 45 degrees and drizzling the whole time, I'm frozen!

That's looking great rocketritch!

I made that flat seat from fiberglass and covered it with heat pleated marine vinyl and eva foam. Looks fine in pics... I've gone with a steel seat now and I'm planning on having a professional upholstery job done. Here's how it looks currently. I haven't had any issues with the pods, jetting...

Thanks, it was a good deal and super clean so I couldn't pass it up. I'm going to adjust the valves, jet the carbs, oil pan gasket and that's about it. I swapped the coils for a set I had already and made new plug wires for it. Probably sell it in about a month though, I've got too many...

'79 cb750F, just picked it up for cheap. Has a title and mostly works. A couple gaskets and a carb sync and this thing will be ready to rip.

Oh yeah, and put on a new chain, sprocket, make an upholstery pan, get it upholstered. I need a heated garage!

I like the shape of that one Hoosier. I ended up getting an led strip, very unlike my style usually! I made a plate bracket that it will go on and attach to the rear of the seat. This weather is getting me down, too cold to work in my garage. Hopefully I get it all back together soon though...

Missing slow jet? Thanks

Thanks for the input. I did make a vertical plate/tail light holder but didn't like the look. Also, in Illinois they don't technically allow a vertical plate... I've got a thin led strip that I'm going to use. I just need to get some free time to make a plate holder and mount for it.

Anyone have a part # for this missing slow jet? It's a keihin vb42. I'm looking for a 35, just need to figure out what the jet looks like and or a part #. The whole rack is missing them! I've been googling for an hour and haven't found a clear answer yet...

Damn! That IS smaller.

What's the deal with the "phantom" version? I got the Shorai lfx14a2-bs12, same specs for $135 last year.

very New progressive 14 1/2 eye to clevis shocks cb750/550/500 kz650 ect ect Thought so by now, just had to check. Thanks anyways.
