So about that time where i start buying parts for this build. Want to run an all in one gauge cluster to simplify things. Anybody have an recommendations or past experience. I am looking for one that is SUPER EASY to install. I have zero experience wiring and would like to keep this pretty easy...

Yeah thats what i figured. i just need to grow another pair of hands for this project lol

So i went to throw my carbs on the bike for a fitment test and cant get them to stay secure in the boots.........any advice?? Pretty much when i go to tighten the clamps they just fall off the boots

Worked on stripping and clear coating my tank today. I want it to look bare and not perfect so I just gave it an "unfinished" look to it. And holy crap this Aircraft remover is unlivable!!!!

Got the forks removed so far this morning and will be putting those on hold for a bit till some more money comes my way. In the mean time i noticed one of the top of the forks is a bit mashed, is that gonna be a problem?? And anybody know of a good "rebuild with progressive springs" instruction...

Luckily my buddy had an extension around the house so got the exhaust pulled. Now I need to make some kind of stand so i can remove the forks.

So far none of my wrenches or sockets will clear the minimal space i have to get them off

Any advice on getting the exhaust off. I understand how to do it but I'm not sure how to physically get to the bolts with the frame down tubes being so close. Any tips guys??

Front end tear down today

Also a HUGE shoutout to Dave R on the page who sent these beauties once my carbs had an unfortunate incident . . . . . He is nothing short of a life saver haha

Progressive springs are a really good idea. Cant beat that price either. For now im just getting moving with some simple stuff. Started to prep the rear fender for paint. Once I have a few days off next week im gonna strip the tank to bare metal.

Finally my Honda is under the same roof that i am living at. Got a little bit done tonight and stripped here a little bit of basic body components. While I was taking her apart i realized how well intact and nice she was from being from '79. I may be rethinking my overall goal for this project...

Toying around with the idea of trying to do a fully fairing look for my CB. Seems pretty hard to find a set for the specific bike and the ones I have found cost an arm and leg. So I started thinking maybe its possible to pick up a more "modern" set off ebay (probly damaged) and custom fit them...

So my lack of progress is SERIOUSLY about to change. Now that I am all moved in to my new place, WITH a garage and a work bench (very excited about) I can get some work started. August 1st my baby makes the move down here and I will be living in my garage virtually. Until then I will have a...

I ran them in the ultrasonic a couple of times with light scrubbing in between the baths

Sorry for the lack of posting, been to busy out riding my other bike ;) the cleaner work great. I have my individual carbs assembled and will be building the bank back up later this week. I will get some shots of the competed carb build here soon

Well here goes nothing.

nah i took it off then just threw the screw on there temporarily for pictures purposes

Exactly what I used to tear my carbs apart haha. Little upset i got the book that came with the Randakks kit and never even opened it up . . . .

Awesome build! Great job with the knee dents.
