Ok here's mine on making a cafe seat using the foam from the inside of a spare helmet. Still in progress but def. under $50. http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=6569.0

yeah i was thinking of cutting out patterns an overlaying it in areas where I figure I'll need more strength. hopefully I've got enough time this weekend to get started. Oh, an yeah, been a Marine since '98 but from your name, I have no idea or just doesn't ring a bell. last names Avalos by the way.

Thanks again Josch! I was wondering what would be a better method of laying down the fiber glass. Should I cut it up into strips an lay it down or should I cut it into patterns to fit the shape of the pan and overlap it that way.

thanks for the input guys. josch, thanks for all the advice. hopefully I'll have some time this weekend to get started on everything. A couple of questions, by sealing the foam, is that as simple as covering it with tin foil is there more to it than that. Also, is there any advantage over using...

I then took the half i was gonna use an placed it on top of the board From here i placed the board on top of the frame an marked where the board would narrow out Next I traced the top portion of the foam on the board to and cut out the pattern I then took some gorilla glue an glued the...

ok so after reading many posts on here I thought I'd give it a try at making my own fiberglass seat. Initially I was going to go with florist foam but thought I'd try something a little different. Most people have one of these laying around I then removed the foam liner inside the spare...

I think it looks good. Like noel said keep the foam thin, help retain that aggressive look. an w/out the side covers. don't forget to post pics of the finished product.

my first guess would be that in the process of rebuilding, oil covered the outside of the engine an is now smoking when it gets hot, like when you spill oil on your exhaust pipes. if that's the case, not that big a deal, it will eventually burn off an stop smoking. I'd check for any oil leaks or...

Thinking about making the same buy. I've got the compressor an hoses, just need a gun. I'm taking my bike apart to paint an bought another frame to start a new project. Since I've got alot to paint didn't want to use rattlecan. So what is it that makes a decent gun?

I've got a '75 CB750 with old oil lines that drip all over the place. I'm looking into replacing them but don't need the polished ones off of ebay. Cyclexchange makes a pair of adapters, was wondering if anyone had any ideas or leads

cyclexchange has a pretty good set for cheap. not sure what size tubes you have but here's the link http://www.cyclexchange.net/Honda%20Page.htm

I wanted to do the same thing, but the Giuliari seats were way more than I wanted to dish out. My advise is to find some pics of the seat you like, Carpy's Tornado is what I based mine off of, and take your stock seat to a experienced upholstery shop an have him do the work. It's how I got...

Ok, so it's time to clean the gas tank that's been sitting in my garage. Initially I couldn't decide between Kreem and POR-15, then I came across this, http://www.oldrice.com/gas_tank_cleaning.htm, on Rusteco. It sounds good but was wondering if anyone has tried it on here. Thanks

Hey matt you got any pics or a link of a similar bike w/out reflectors?

yeah, i like the white on black, just didn't know if I was gonna stick with the badges or decals. I think I might just stay with the badges, keep it classic. Thanks guys, I'll keep my progress posted.

an here's where I'm at now... still lots of work to do. not sure where I'm gonna go with the tank, maybe try hammering some knee inserts. As for the badges, what do you guys think? Off/On not sure

to this...

Here's the progress on my '75 CB750.

Thanks guys. the carb that was giving me problems had this black gue along the inside. my first time working on carbs an was a little intimidated. but it's either learn or pay someone else an hope they do it right.
