    95 Nighthawk cb750 build. You know where this is headed don't you?

    I removed the original rear tank mount and took the tank and bike to my welder guy . I told him where I wanted it both front to back and up and down and he welded in the brackets. Not cheap though.

    Copycat 1981 GL1100 Goldwing

    Sorry no. I sold this one and am now regretting that. I am not savvy either so I leave it as is as much as possible.

    95 Nighthawk cb750 build. You know where this is headed don't you?

    I think I missed with sticker placement. Bagged the remote power as I ran out of room in my electronics box. Almost ready on this one. Man what a long haul.

    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Universal-Remote-Control/dp/B000ZRW78Q?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01 Plus I got the relay too as I didn't figure 15 amp would cover it.

    True story, the only purpose of the remote is to power the ignition and eliminate the need to mount a key somewhere on the bike.

    95 Nighthawk cb750 build. You know where this is headed don't you?

    I saw a guy on Instagram built a CB550 for his wife with a wireless ignition, push the button and the bikes live, you just have to push the start button. As I didn't want to find a new location for the key I decided to go this route.

    Back at it again with this CB750 build. I put R6 forks on it but now how do I mount a headlight as the forks are huge?

    Nice transformation. How did you end up attaching the tank?

    cb750 turn signals

    This is the third one, all brand new and this one in the bike is the electronic one. It is just weird that they work fine as long as I don't park the switch. I guess I will check voltage while I'm at it.

    cb750 turn signals

    So I need some suggestions. I just got my cb750 running and am having issues with the turn signal switch. I can get them to flash if I hold the switch but if I go all the way and park the switch they just stay on. Is it time for a new switch or do I need to further disassemble it for a more...

    Well it's done, I know longest project in history. Dam fine runner. Thanks for tagging along. Next up is the 95 cb750 with a Yamaha inverted forks and xs650 tank. Oh I almost forgot the customary before picture...

    95 Nighthawk cb750 build. You know where this is headed don't you?

    Just a coat of good auto wax a couple times a year should do unless you, God forbid, park it out in the rain... The shop has charged me between $300 and $400 depending on how much soldering he has to do. You are correct copper plate trumps copper powder coat. You need to start out with a damage...

    Copper plate. It will tarnish if not waxed but it does look great and can easily be brought to nickel or chrome.

    95 Nighthawk cb750 build. You know where this is headed don't you?

    Well this is the best picture I can muster given the fact that the front end is removed and off to Cognito Moto getting a conversion stem, R6 to Nighthawk. I got the tabs off the frame and found there was minimal electronics to find a new home for. The hoop is on, and a pattern for the seat has...

    It is just sitting there but it appears ok. I am planning on leaving the mounting system for the tank alone and incorporating the design onto the frame after I finalize the fork install of course. I believe there is plenty of meat to drill the frame in your case.

    1978 CB750 Cafe build second attempt

    Blah... Switching to the Comstars has proven a challenge for some reason. The spacing on the front tire is the holdup right now that and I have a cx that is near completion. I haven't lost interest just motivation. I did get another bearing spacer now I need to get the jack free and get it...

    Glad to see you back at it. I was wondering how a cx tank would look on it, question answered. I went the xs650 route. Here is mine before I took the front end off as I am installing a r6 frond end, at least that is the plan.
