Looks great!

I removed the original rear tank mount and took the tank and bike to my welder guy . I told him where I wanted it both front to back and up and down and he welded in the brackets. Not cheap though.

Sorry no. I sold this one and am now regretting that. I am not savvy either so I leave it as is as much as possible.

I think I missed with sticker placement. Bagged the remote power as I ran out of room in my electronics box. Almost ready on this one. Man what a long haul.

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Universal-Remote-Control/dp/B000ZRW78Q?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01 Plus I got the relay too as I didn't figure 15 amp would cover it.

True story, the only purpose of the remote is to power the ignition and eliminate the need to mount a key somewhere on the bike.

I saw a guy on Instagram built a CB550 for his wife with a wireless ignition, push the button and the bikes live, you just have to push the start button. As I didn't want to find a new location for the key I decided to go this route.

Back at it again with this CB750 build. I put R6 forks on it but now how do I mount a headlight as the forks are huge?

Nice transformation. How did you end up attaching the tank?

This is the third one, all brand new and this one in the bike is the electronic one. It is just weird that they work fine as long as I don't park the switch. I guess I will check voltage while I'm at it.

So I need some suggestions. I just got my cb750 running and am having issues with the turn signal switch. I can get them to flash if I hold the switch but if I go all the way and park the switch they just stay on. Is it time for a new switch or do I need to further disassemble it for a more...

Well it's done, I know longest project in history. Dam fine runner. Thanks for tagging along. Next up is the 95 cb750 with a Yamaha inverted forks and xs650 tank. Oh I almost forgot the customary before picture...

Just a coat of good auto wax a couple times a year should do unless you, God forbid, park it out in the rain... The shop has charged me between $300 and $400 depending on how much soldering he has to do. You are correct copper plate trumps copper powder coat. You need to start out with a damage...

Copper plate. It will tarnish if not waxed but it does look great and can easily be brought to nickel or chrome.
