    '81 CB750k Tracker - Build #3

    Awesome build. Nice fabrication, got to start learning to weld, haha. I thought you might be interested in what I ended up doing with my CV carbs on my 86 CB 700SC. If you read down the build it is about half way down. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=64680.msg739717#msg739717...

    CB-R 700SC My crazy idea to put a CBR900RR front end swap on my NHS

    Thanks, the 45mm forks look so good on the frame and the larger brakes balance out the extra weight nicely. More to come soon!

    CB-R 700SC My crazy idea to put a CBR900RR front end swap on my NHS

    Now the exhaust. I have had the Jardine NHS slip-ons sitting in my closet for a year and a half waiting for this day. They were only $150 delivered on Ebay and were NOS from 1987. What a score, the directions were typed on letter head and it was packed in the original box with newspaper from...

    CB-R 700SC My crazy idea to put a CBR900RR front end swap on my NHS

    Battery tray was interesting, i probably tried three other ways before this location and setup came to me. I am really pleased because I thought I was gonna end up having to buy one of those really small and really really expensive Lithium Ion ones so that I could get it out of the way. Not a...

    CB-R 700SC My crazy idea to put a CBR900RR front end swap on my NHS

    The idea behind this is to remove the big clunky airbox and still retain the 1-2-4 intake tract. The CV carbs still breathe from a single air source just like the stock box, the only difference is that it is a much freer flowing intake, more air=more power. To better explain, the airbox breathes...

    CB-R 700SC My crazy idea to put a CBR900RR front end swap on my NHS

    I made the brackets for the front fender out of a block of ABS plastic from McMaster Carr. The dimensions were 6x6x1/2. The CBR front forks have a 2-1/8 inch diameter x 1/2 inch slot where the stock CBR fender mounted. Used drill press and hole saw to cut wholes. The ABS melts real easy so it...

    CB-R 700SC My crazy idea to put a CBR900RR front end swap on my NHS

    The triple was made by Roy of Billet Bike Bits in England. http://www.billetbikebits.com/shop/ He was the most experienced I could find and by far the cheapest! (Even with shipping) He also provided me with 1 inch risers which are really beefy and fit great. From below All mounted up and the...

    CB-R 700SC My crazy idea to put a CBR900RR front end swap on my NHS

    The fork lengths are noticeably different almost 5 inches. That is why the custom drop down triple is necessary. The CBR shares the exact same stem diameter and bearings as the NHS, however it does not have the same length stem. In order to get the CBR front end to go on you have got to press...

    CB-R 700SC My crazy idea to put a CBR900RR front end swap on my NHS

    I have been contemplating this project for over 4 years, and after seeing some of the front end mods lately I decided to pull the trigger last fall. It started with the purchase of a 1996 CBR 900RR front clip for $200 on craigslist, and from there has taken me almost 9 months to get to the point...
