    Hi Guys, what is the longest Shock length I can get away with for an 83 DOHC CB750 ? Does anyone have any experience with this? Cheers, Jon.

    Winter project CB550

    Great stuff - I have already had a look at the site, amazing stuff !!! I guess your CB750 products are all for the SOHC frame (your frame). I am not sure if this uses the same headstock or not - I will have to do some homework :) Just FYI here is my build if you are interested...

    looks great !!!! I love your work - keep it up ! I am currently working on a CB750 DOHC and would (eventually) love a similar setting (re running gear - forks / wheels etc) is this something you could help with ?

    Next step to avoid sanding was to create a pressure test system for the tank. All the beating and modification has left some cracks in the tank that need some attention. I fixed up all the ones I could visibly find but this is not (nowhere near 100% proof): Blocker for the top (entry cap)...

    I decided to make a bracket to allow mw to work on my tank (sane and paint) on the paint frame to basically give me better access and angles to the tank during sanding etc ... Front bracket: Back bracket: Finished:

    I am doing my best (and doing quite a good job) to avoid sanding. Blasted and filled in the badge holder on the tank:

    Things are starting to come slowly together so I started to play about with some ideas for the side pods / battery cover etc using an old computer case... will have to give this some more thought Then the little man came to inspect what was going and wanted to play so that was the end of a...

    Next step was to create a bracket to securely attach the tank top the frame. The tank has mounts at the front that connect to the rubber mounts on the frame. I did not have to change the fram mounts or the tank brackts as this was already aligned perfectly, all I had to do here was replace the...

    Needed a break from dents so decided to finally get the SOHC tank fitted and sitting how I want it on the DOHC frame. Started out with the original tank to get an idea of spacing and how much room there is to play with re the motor etc... Also added the yokes and bars to make sure they do...

    As I mentioned and showed in a previous post, I used metal rods to fill the wholes instead of using filler etc.. mainly just to test and try the method in comparison to filler as I have heard good thongs about it and also as its a stronger finish etc. The rods are basically a tinning solution...

    Back to the never ending story of my tank... I think next time I will spend a bit more money and get a decent tank as a starting base. I thought as the plan way to modify the tank, an old battered one would suffice, however I am paying for this now. The tank is full of dents, some so small they...

    New parts: I ordered some new gaskets (this time the correct parts) so that I can hopefully (eventually) get the motor back together When putting the valves back in, I managed to break one :( therefore one is still pending. The replacement: and some additional bits and pieces that I require:
