And then the time came to fire it up for the first time… Ignition on, fuel taps open, kicked it once, kicked it twice , a third time and it fired up! That first joy quickly went when I realised it was only running on one cylinder. I tried the basics first of course, fuel and spark were...

A friend had it and wasn't using it for his project, so I just tested it on mine. I liked the flowing line it created with the upper triple tree clamp and the seat. It also allows for a clear view of the top of the engine. Had I tried another tank it might have looked different 8) Happy with...

Update time! After the last update, there was not a lot left to finish. It was basically a matter of tearing it down, getting the frame coated, the tank painted and putting it back together. So here is what the tank turned out like. The rucksack is painted to match the bike, you gotta ride in...

That is turning out to be a cool little ride! My advice? Get it out on the road and enjoy the heck out of it. Don't go over the top with changing the geometry. It might look cool, but will not necessarily improve the handling... Dropping the forks an inch (or a bit more) won't hurt, but keep it...

Oh, before I forget, for the ones that are interested, the CB750K2 is also back on the road. Just a quick and dirty cafe racer build. It's being used very often and huge fun! Talk to you soon!

And as promised, the exhaust update! This has been one of the areas where a lot of thinking was spent. I wanted a scrambler style exhaust, but not as bulky as the normal ones. It needed to have a racey look and not look stock. So, after a lot of fiddling with 43mm stainless steel pipework...

Hi there! Can't believe it's been over a year since my last update on the bobber. Time flies when you are having fun (or a busy job for that matter)... Anyway, work has progressed, so here is the latest. The battery box has now been finished and houses the battery (duh), fuses, some relays...

Hi guys and girls, It's been way too long and haven't been able to work on the bike a lot. Updates should arrive soon! What did happen though is that my '57 Land Rover has found a new home to make room for this: On my lovely new bikelift is the CB750 from an earlier post, which currently...

I'm here too!! That is, when I am not travelling for my job... Located in Tilburg.

Time for a little update, almost two months have passed! Haven't been able to do as much as I would have liked to, but it's still going in the right direction. Have started on the wiring, so I first drew a wiring diagram. Rear lighting wired up. The new Mikuni's have also arrived, so made...

Finally had some time to work on the bike again last weekend. The verdict on the wiring for the rear light: It would fit, just. However, since it would be the only wiring that could be run through the frame, without drilling holes all over the place, I have decided to run it outside the...

I normally work with Superseal connectors (very similar to the Weatherpack stuff). Will definitely try to fit a two-pin connector in the frametube. Then leaves a bunch of other wires to be run through the frame as well (front lighting, horn, ignition, etc.) :) As I never took that in account...

And your absolutely right. I'll give it a bit more thought. :)

I'll keep that in mind, Tim. The idea of a hidden connector for the rear light was something I thought about as well... Can't do a cigarette lighter socket, as I need to run three wires to it (ground, rear light and brake light). Maybe a magnetic connector, like the chargeport on a Macbook? It...

Re: New Member from San Jose, CA - '70 CB 350 Build (some pics) Nice! Congratulations on the wedding. Might do something similar (the chalkboards, not the wedding :P)...
