"work smarter, not harder"

I had the bike out yesterday for the first good ride. I put about 40 km's , i wasn't too comfortable going to far incase of a break down, but everything seems to be working ok

very very nice!

Re: 1980 CB750C *Nothing Special, but it's in the special section budget bob build * Well Phase 1 of my build is complete, next phase is to ride it, tune it and then enjoy it for the summer. I had it appraised today for registration, i guess here you need to have any vehicle appraised if it...

Re: 1980 CB750C *Nothing Special, but it's in the special section budget bob build * Thanks, it does the trick. I'm going to the DMV later today to get it fully legit for the road, I will take a picture of it since I blacked out the exhaust, and mounted the tail light and plate.

Re: 1980 CB750C *Nothing Special, but it's in the special section budget bob build * Round 2 for shake down run went very well. I put on a new master link today (correctly :o) and then took the bike up the block and back twice had it up to 80 kph smoothly and had no issues. Next step tomorrow...

Looking good dude, and i agree with not polishing the cover. Leave that to those with fancy schmancy bikes.

Re: 1980 CB750C *Nothing Special, but it's in the special section budget bob build * I should have a new master link tomorrow so i will try another test ride before i head to work. Again i will ride it slow because you never know what can happen. A friend of mine had a close call with a chain...

Re: 1980 CB750C *Nothing Special, but it's in the special section budget bob build * Attempted my first shake down run and it went well for 2.5 km. After that my chain decided to fall off. I will blame my self for the problem, i believe i made a rookie mistake and put the clip on the mater link...

My parts finally came in from DCC yesterday, they must have been held up and the border because they took twice as long as usual. Now the build can continue and if i'm lucky and the rain hold off i can take it for an incognito shake down run.

Re: 1980 CB750C *Nothing Special, but it's in the special section budget bob build * Master cylinder is on, brakes are bled and they are tight, tight and tight 8)

I'd probably go to a 530 chain/sprocket combo, for no other reason than they are widely available.

Re: 1980 CB750C *Nothing Special, but it's in the special section budget bob build * I finally received my much needed parts from DCC today, it took 3 weeks which is about 1.5 weeks too long. It was no fault of DCC, the package must have been help up at customs. Anyway here's what i got...

I added a new helmet to my collection, first open face.

Nice bike!! I love the rim/tire combo.

Looks good to me, i'm interested to watch your build since we have the same bike.

very cool idea, as a farm boy i appreciate it.

Re: 1980 CB750C *Nothing Special, but it's in the special section budget bob build * Also a major step is taking it for a shakedown run once i get my gaiters and front brake master from DCC!
