Hey Joe, I did it all except the front rotor drilling. My buddy bent the seat base on his brake at work and his wife sewed the cover up. The tail pipe was going to be mounted on a pivot pin in the front and free moving bracket in the rear but it didnt work. It wanted to move up and down and i...

Crush1776...."I'm guessing Vinrodz Speed Shop doesn't specialize in motorcycles?" Nope, Vintage hot rods and speed parts. My best friend came over who is the Honda expert and said "no way its gonna happen" too and yes it was in a bind! You all are right but i had to try. Test ride soon. Thanks...

yep, its not working...I need a new plan.

Yes it is, you found the one thing i am not happy with. It was on the bike when i got it and i am still working with it in order to make me happy . No doubt its after market and they intended for it to mount that way but obviously the plan was better than the finished product. My plan is to have...

;D ;D ;D THANKS

I am not a fan of LED's because they are too new looking for me... but i may need to do it

Thats right! You see it too. When i built the bike i didnt have the tank painted or the seat finished. The light at that time had a "British" look to me and i liked it in a strange way. Now i am afraid i got used to it and except it kind of like an ugly puppy that you fall for the second time...

I never show my bikes till they are done because i don't want others to change my direction but i am almost finished with my 72 CB750 and i hit a wall. I am asking for your thoughts on the tail/brake light. Do you like it or hate it? Thanks, Randy

I agree! My frickin knee and my hemroids are about to blow out.

Brain fart! I took off the valve cover caps and poured oil in. I hope this works! Thanks, Randy

So, i have been working on the newest project. Its a 72 Cb750 frame with a 76 Cb750 engine. I removed the stock oil tank and installed a custom tank. Of course there is no oil in the engine or tank so i fill the tank, remove the spark plugs and start kicking it over to prime the system. Well i...

hose shop is a good plan. that will give a good look and the perfect fit with my clip-ons... thanks for the info

back when i raced cars we had a nice folding lift. it was a junky cheapo but it worked great. need to get one again before i bust a nut or my wife busts a ??? well what ever she would bust i bet a folding jack is the cheaper way to go.

Bo Diddley came to my home town in Islamorada Florida and played an outside show some time back. I was front and center when his tamberine broke and one of the little bell things rolled right to me. Needless to say its very cool to me... he died about a month or so after that.

Thanks for all the plans. Got me thinking again, What ever i do i will need some kind of hoist. I had to ask the wife to help me lift the cb750 engine 3 times today. I need to be able to do that stuff by my self or get some friends to hang around my shop........better start looking for a hoist.

I know that stainless is better, has less flex, wont kink, looks fancy etc but i kinda like the old stock rubber look. does anyone have a good source. Todays build is a 72 CB750. Thanks for your help, Randy

Wow! You guys opened all kinds of doors in my head. my thought was a lift table that had 4 corner post going up to a top bar with a hook. so i could raise the table, hook the bike and lower the table. problem was (when i was done building it) there would be so much shit around the bike that i...

I am still new at this(4 builds) so i could use some opinions here. I do all of my own work by my self in my very little shop. I start with it on the center stand and when its down to the frame only i set it on a table or tall jack stands. Problem is that i am killing myself going from my knees...
