have you seen the cycle world web surfer bike? it's tracker style, pretty cool. really nice wooden seat

ooh! a cb2hun! my fave! this was my first bike, when I was 16. I've had 2 since then. I love this gas tank, my fave stock tank. I will definitely be getting another someday. maybe for my first factory style restoration. or else it would be fun to see how fast you could make one of these go...

wow, the seat is beautiful. I haven't read the whole thread, is that varnish? I do some woodwork, myself. I really like the last design you posted as well. this will be a very classy ride. nice work!

a tip: if you do the nuts and bolts cleaning method it can be a pain to get them back out. your arms will be tired as hell by the time you've shaken them all out of there. I use a chain type plant hanger. it's basically 5-6 chains hooked together. use mechanic wire to attach bolts and nuts all...

good job w/ the paint! you can get good results from a rattle can if you know how. this looks awesome!

Re: building a better bol d'or (super sport for you north americans ;-) ) she's a beaut! right on m'man.

if you use a dead blow hammer you won't get the bounce back double taps. and have more control. then you can use your lighter rubber/vinyl one for finishing. makes it a lil easier.

sounds great! you can never have too much info, or products. I'm sure people will appreciate anything you put up there. I have a bunch of cb750 articles and stuff from mags from the late 60's until recent. I got them off ebay, but I wouldn't mind making them available to everyone if you guys...

Re: CB750-F3 'Filthy Beast' this is sooooo cool. I'm taking a welding class soon. you're project is very inspiring.

thanks guys!

I didn't know you could replace impact foam. it definitely degrades w/ time. I thought you meant the liner. still, why not just hang the vintage helmets in the garage and wear a safe helmet on your noggin. if you have the $ to get someone to replace the impact foam you could buy a pretty decent...

I used to do this until I realized how dangerous it is. I still find old helmets and paint them for fun. but would not wear them for anything. I have a friend who died trying to 'look cool'. it's just not worth it. Bell makes some cool 'vintage looking' 3/4 helmets. I recommend wearing a full...

that's killer. I love it cuz I don't know what to call it. I wanna build a dual sport survival/rat bike when I'm done w/ the 750. for battling zombies when the inevitable apocalypse comes. this one would do the trick nicely!

thanks! means more from a fellow painter. my buddy's happy. his club is rep'd. the viscous ton upper's. ;) not to be tangled w/ unless ya wanna get cut. :P

awesome, thanks!
