The blue foam and mud are easier to shape and reshape than other methods. Once the shape is right it can be painted and waxed. The paint and mud keep the resin from eating the foam and give a nice finish to the mold. Making a mold is not really necessary but fiberglass is cheap and who knows, I...

The tunnel is a little narrower, it hits the weld for the gusset at the front but it will get past if you work the tank side to side to walk it past. I also shaved a little off the rubber mounts. The rear mount moves 3"-4". The petcock swapped in from the C tank to the 80 or 81 900F tank and...

I've had a few people tell me the same. I just don't like black vehicles. The blue is really a test to see what a matte metal flake will look like. Sent from my XT1585 using DO THE TON mobile app

Little more work done. Dropped the front about 1.5", still need to get a spacer in the forks to get some preload. Not sure about the blue, seems a bit dark to me. Just thought I'd try it and see. Sent from my XT1585 using DO THE TON mobile app

Got the new tank on, clubman's still hit. I could probably build the stops up enough with the welder. Time to start on the tail and seat. Moved into the house so I have a little heat over the winter. Sent from my XT1585 using DO THE TON mobile app

New taillight was at the door when I got home. Looks like it will fit perfectly with the tail shape in my head. Basically a resto-mod with a little modern styling/lighting. Sent from my XT1585 using DO THE TON mobile app

Progress report, 21/11/16. Finally found an '80 F tank for a decent price, should arrive by the weekend. Also picked up a Ducati 1198 taillight. Now I need to get some foam and carve out everything in between. I've got a couple ideas for the exhaust. Anyone know how to pull the baffles out...

I've been looking for a K or F tank. Not sure where to find one locally. Probably end up getting one off FleaBay. I was thinking about pulling the baffles out of the 4-4 pipes, cutting the megaphones back to the rear mount and adding some Db killers. The rear view with the 4-4 is kinda...

When I had it running there was a rattle in the engine, I'm thinking the 35 year old tensioners are giving up. With only 10k I'm thinking I won't need to go to deep into the engine. Got the clubman bars on last night. Mork called it, bars hit the tank. Probably flip them for now and get some...

New clubman bars show up today. Not sure they'll make the final build but their cheap and it's a starting point to check riding position. Thinking I may like a low rise bar more as it'll be more like my 599 (Hornet). Sent from my XT1585 using DO THE TON mobile app

First off, this is my first motorcycle build so any/all guidance is appreciated. Started out looking for a cb350 for a cafe build. Basically a small get around town bike. Ended up with a '81 CB750c, 10k mi., clean title, and all the parts I plan to use were there with plenty parts to sell or...
