Drop this ugly tank. Wysłane z mojego ALE-L21 przy użyciu Tapatalka

I know a guy who is over 2 m tall and he looks like a pizza boy on a scooter even o gs750 :D visually balanced, it may make a good cafe :) Wysłane z mojego ALE-L21 przy użyciu Tapatalka

Exhaust job looks great, but IMHO the muffler is a bit too bulky compared to the bike.

Your method seems very brutal :) What did you use as a leverage point for the pry bar? Did you breake off any fins? I usually spray WD40 into cylinder studs or some gasket remover, use pieces of wood as a wedge. sometimes there are special points where you can pry the cylinder with a large...

Nice skills, I am going to visit here more often :)

Nice fab work, I always admire people with skills, even though the base bike you have chosen is totally not my style. I'll be visiting this topic more to see some more of your kickass fab work 8)

Helicoil is not a nad stuff. A freind od mine works on military and they use it if a bolt is located in harsh environment. Wysłane z tostera

Trippe trees clamp looks great :) You might have some issues with those cheap pods. A friend of mine who builds bikes for a living told me to use some interfacing folded in half to smooth out the air flow. Of course, you might be one of those 1 in 20 people who put the pods on and the bike...

Hey all, I am rebuilding a cylinder head in XJ600/ FJ600 and I just measured valve springs free height. To my surprise in case of all outer springs it was 3-4 mm over the specified height and for the inner ones it was 3-4 mm below the specified height. The manual doesn't say what is min - max...

For future reference, If you have a steel bolt/screw stuck in aluminum part - use nitricic acid, it eats steel and leaves alu intact. Tried it with broken exhaust studs :)

If you have a soda blaster and a bag of soda then it's a good way to clean your cylinder head. If you have to pay somebody to do that - you're get similar results with gasket remover or EGR cleaner at 1/3 cost.

What shipping cost is crazy to you? I live in Europe and shipping from US is usually 50 - 80 USD.

With theese prolonged fork tubes the front wheel looks small. Spoked 18 inch would look badass :) the front hub conversion is avaliable at cognitomoto website, but I bet your dad's skills are up to the task. Wysłane z tostera

Totally forgot about the engine weight :) Wysłane z tostera

Looking good :) I wouldn't extend the forks this much but that is just my opinion. The amount of "custom" you and your dad did is amazing :) Wysłane z tostera

KZ650 is a great base bike. I wanted to build a cafe based on IT, but ended up using XJ600. Waiting for more progress. Wysłane z tostera

Re: HONDA CM400 '81 -> 450 cafe racer (DUTCH) Kick ass bike :) All you need now is a nice set of spoked wheels. Is your mohave tank a replica? Wysłane z tostera

I may be wrong, but Duplicolor and VHT are two brands of the same manufacturer. Nice oven :) I used a big carton box coated with aluminum foil insulation sheets for the heat box and two heatguns as for the source of "power". Wysłane z tostera

As for engine paint, VHT seems to do the job. One of my friends uses a spray gun paint that is also heat resistant, it's made by Sikkens but i don't know if this brand is avaliable in USA. Wysłane z tostera

This is the coolest build do far Wysłane z tostera
