Hey all, im in need of some references or links to articles that will help me fabricate a seat pan for my CB750F. Its a stepped design in the frame and I want to keep it that way, I think it looks pretty nice. I heard fiberglass and metal mesh is the way to go, and this will be a first time...

Heya folks. Ive got a 72 CL175k6, thats getting the brat treatment. Ive performed a 2012 CBR250R front fork conversion with machined aluminum fork brace (waiting on delivery), which left me with a nice chrome front fender as leftovers. I want to cut out the sheetmetal rear fender already in...

Im looking for suggestions on my cb750F project. Im in the final stages of ordering parts and want opinions on the headlight options out there.

The owner says he is very open to offers. Honestly I was thinking something like 600. Although, doing a mobile compression test sounds like the best option, but the bike is 4-5 hours from where I live. One way. The reason I was all giggity about it was that the owner consistently makes...

Agreed, Current owner says he sold them off the bike. So.... no idea

Ok fellas, heres my dilemma. Ive been saving my hard earned hourly dough for investment into my 1980 CB750F ground up brat build. Just a matter of time for some things to be done. While bored AF at work I came across an old ad in my local classifieds for an 81 CB750, with wire wheels...

Lattice brackets? Ive got the old brackets, I just want to fit aftermarket pegs to the brackets

Hey guys, im reaching a point on my project where footpegs are in my focal point. I understand these arent rearsets, but I didnt know where else to post. Im keeping the factory footpeg location and the passenger pegs, but I want to replace the junk factory ones. Ive heard theyre hard to get...

Well, I went with paint. VHT Cast Iron Gray for the main enginr body, and Rustoleum Professional series Truck Bed Liner for the pulse cover, clutch cover and rotor cover. Looks fantastic. I painted most each parts separate, then installed them all and buttoned the engine up. Turns out I...

Its on my list of post rolling mods. Right now priorities are focused on budget and getting it ready to ride. Some of the real race experienced CBF builders ive talked to say that in my stock engine ill have absolutely no issues having the engine painted. But believe me, I want that cooler...

Ive been doing a lot of research for engine paint on my CB, ive got the plan there now. Ill be setting up to mod the framr this weekend and get that scrambler style setup. Now with the bike intentions being a cross country camp bike, I fully expect to have an accidental tip over in the dirt...

In my head I think it looks good, especially with the polished stainless engine dress bolts. Now my imaginations got me going again, I am looking in to Monstaliner. Its a huge hit in my Jeep crew community as being the best roll on bedliner/ paint out there, along with having the largest...

I emailed VHT last week, they finally got around to answering me. I inquired the best product and the application process for an air cooled engine, and they stated that the VHT engine Enamel would be the best option, and with proper prep work a primer is not needed. So, it looks like I'm...

Well its too late for the pistons not being cleaned, they each got a couple days soak in the chemdip, and all the carbon wiped off. Planning on a simple green ultrasonic clean on them before install too just to make sure the ring grooves are completely cleaned. I have decided NOT to polish ANY...

Okeeee duders. Man life has some interesting ups and downs, ive decided to take it all out on my bike. Ive spent the last few days scrubbing grime out ofnthe split cases, i inspected the bearings and have determined to leave them alone. Transmission looks brand new... weird. It took me...
