k... i feel like a dumb ass now...
talked to Herm over at DCC. Turns out the problem isnt the bike, or the gage. Its me. Wasn't smart enough to isolate the gage from the vibration. never even crossed my mind even tho i knew better. so now that i've wrecked 2 perfectly good speedos, i've gotta...
looks great so far! the CM's aren't exactly the ideal medium for this type of build but with a little creativity, they can turn out pretty damn nice. logged over 15k miles on mine since my build. Just keep at it and ask lots of questions. i knew nothing when i started and now have 2 beautiful...
ok... that does make some sense. the other thing i just remembered is the needle started bouncing around like crazy for a minute or so before it totally went. jumping back and forth from around 80 to 120
thanks big rich...
I'll just hafta call the place in the morning. i've had really good luck with everything else i've gotten thru them so hopefully this won't tarnish my view of the company.
unplugged the cable and nothing happened. hooked it back up. roll it backwards it goes down, roll it forwards it shoots back up...
I'm not even sure who the manufacturer is. it came from the distributor in plain box with nothing but a wiring diagram.... All i know is at $70 a pop plus shipping i...
i did pull it on the first one that went bad, and it stayed at 50mph. the 2nd one just happened on my way into work and i haven't had a chance yet. break-time soon, so I'll be doing it then...
so i picked up a mini speedo and tach from a company i wont name(dont wanna give them a bad name). here's the issue....
after 20 miles, the zero position moved. sitting still the bike said i was moving 50mph.
company wont return gauges, so bit the bullet and ordered a new one since i had the...
pet cock went with the tank.. sorry.
I'm pretty sure i've got the rectifier.i'll dig around and get back to ya. basement flooded last weekend so garage is filled to the brim right now.might take me a bit to get to the bin a put the parts in.

Headlight and fork ears were junk, and already pitched them, but i do have the linkage. are you just looking for the rod that runs from the pedal to the drum? or the whole thing? i would think it should fit up but i'd need more info.i'd suggest finding a site like www.cheapcycleparts.com and...
yeah, thats the stock tank... only thing i did to it other than paint was lop off the bottom ears where the side covers used to snap in.
as far as making more rearsets, its a possibility, but we're pretty slammed at work right now so squeezing them in may be a bit tricky...
I've always wanted to make rockerbox... unfortunately we have plans that weekend... buddy of mine is coming home, and we're throwing an old skool kegger... ;)
crap... i knew there was something i had sold but couldnt remember when i was typing up the list... gages are already gone.
Left side engine cover is still there. its been spoken for but i'll get back to you in a couple days if it doesnt go thru...
i like yellow, but actually wanted blue and white. unfortunately all my gear is black and yellow and i'm too cheap to replace a jacket and helmet that are still in great condition.... ;)
i know that feeling all too well.... I used tokeep the laptop out in the garage while iwas working but quit cuz i never got anything done( damn facebook!) or found that what i was doing looked like what everyone else was doing. so now i just leave it inside unless i run into a problem i cant...
Been a rash of that lately? I remember telling my buddy two-smoker that i needed to get my ass on the computer for a while and get a thread started but just never could seem to find the time....
Parting out a 1971 CB500. No title for frame, exhaust is shot. tank has a dent but rust free inside. other than that its complete minus the stuff i've already sold. Absolutely immaculate front brake rotor. Lemme know what ya need and we can work something out!
Already sold:
seat
front brake...
yeah, my bad...been busy as hell. unfortunately i deleted most of the pics off my phone(including the infamous "tipped over in the garage pic") and this is what's left. i gottascrounge around a bit, i think i had most of them uploaded to the laptop.
Sorry guys, I never had the chance to get up a build thread while i was workin on her...
Picked up a 1980 CB750k and had every intention of doing a simple restoration so that i had a 2-up for the wife and I. Luckily, she knows i woulda never been happy on something with a fairing and luggage...
