Thanks guys, never even thought of that! I'll give things a straighten and tighten and see if it lines out.

Hi all, Laced up my front rims and bolted everything back together for a test fit. after popping it into the forks the Rotor is super close to the forks and is out of alignment with the brake caliper, runs through at an angle. Looks like i'm out 1/4 - 3/8" in spacing somehow. I don't remember...

quick update.. took the swingarm into work and got to use the shop press to press out the collar. Made the job super easy. it was stuck in there solid but after using a nylon wheel it cleaned up the rust pretty good. some minor pitting but shouldn't be an issue. Once I get home I can test fit...

So overdue update, life & summer vacations have gotten in the way of this project, but over the past 2 months i've been managing to pick away at the build. So, after going through a bunch of components and not being able to make up my mind on where to start I decided to focus on the frame...

You did a great job, that bike looks great! inspiration for my build for sure. Hope she runs as good as it looks!

So I took apart the brakes last night. Both need a rebuild at the caliper as well as the master cylinders for both front and rear. Can anyone comment on: - Is it worth it to rebuild stock M.C's ? - If not, I'd also like to modernize the look of the handlebars and run sportier controls anyways...

Thanks for the advice guys. All good stuff, it's easy to get ahead of myself and want to solve everything at once. I figured since it's all apart now, best bet is to do all the work once but like you said, it's more than likely i'll be taking this all apart again to change something I didn't...

Thanks for the welcomes! I agree Hill Billy, I love that stealth black look, hoping to do something really similar, maybe with a touch of colour here or there. For the tank I plan on using the same one as in the black photo, not the hookie tank. Limey was that the kink tank you were referring...

Hi Everyone, First post, been lurking on these forums for a while. Figured I'd better start a build thread now that I'm finally starting on my project. Backstory: I was helping out some folks cleaning up a storage yard for an auction 2 years ago. One guy had a 1976 cb750F that had been sitting...

Looks great! I'm looking to do my rims the same style as yours, all blacked out. What finish did you use on the spokes? paint or powder?
