Yeh me to. Left the tank with all its marks and history.

Ok picture worked so here's a couple more.... Kids have got a bit older and I think this year I'll be digging the shed out and going again ;D What to do next........

Ok so it seems I started this page in 2013! Left for a while for reasons we won't go into but thought I might post up a picture of the finished bike. Hope you like. Forgotten how to add pictures aaah jeez!

Ok so is been a while.....frame loop slipped on but not welded as yet. Forks completely rebuilt. Been playing with the back end today - oooer! First go with some old gasket paper, and I'm really happy with it. After playing around with the set up I know roughly what length shocks I need...

When I actually said ...(new paragraph)....it's not being built for speed. It was a light hearted reply to the above quote, meaning clown tires are fine for what I need as it's clearly just going to be for plodding about. Unfortunately the attack switch was on and it was taken that I meant 'I...

As I said I'm quite happy for it to be left in I was just asking the question what people had done or what they thought as lots have been removed etc etc What's disappointing is that bike building is new to me, no shit Sherlock some of you say! My background is mainly Lambrettas and two stroke...

PMSL half the bikes on here are getting cut up! I was going to use a similar line to yours in my typical noddy quotes but decided not to....and look it has appeared! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Oh dear oh dear ...... I thought I'd dip my toe into the forum world again after been out for some time......same old same old. Goodbye. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thanks for the replies. I don't actually mind it being there, I've seen a few with it removed and with very little if any bracing done at all. Funnily enough this is not being built for speed....... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi just wondered peoples thought on this frame section shown in the photo with a white circle. The back is due to be chopped, the battery going down near the swinging arm and wondered if things would look better without this section. It was used for the rear mudguard and I presume it is also...

Yep we had a fat washer in there, under the bottom bearing which we don't need. Thanks for the replies guys. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Forks shortened and now I'm happy with the length they can go off for hard chroming. They have been scotch brite'd and look nice. They will have new Gaiters fit and I may try converting the old headlight brackets to something a bit different...... Pics below show the mocked up front end. I'm...

I have just installed some taper roller bearings in my '74 CB450. It would appear that now these are installed I am unable to get the top washer on as well as the nut? With the washer in place there is not enough thread for the nut? Any ideas anyone? The top bearing race sits a mm above the...

Well all going nice and slow here!! ;D Yolks are all built and refurbed. Satin Black with a few chrome nuts and bolts! New bearing etc etc. Will have them on this weekend with the shortened forks to see how she looks. Hopefully get some pics on over the next few days. I know it's not a...

Cheers. They are 758 bars http://www.renthalroad.com/File/product_78handlebars.aspx

PS I have a loop for the back but to be honest I might try doing something different to the normal brat loop......not sure what yet but I have a couple of ideas. 8)

Ok laptop out and here are a couple of pics...... Headlight and speedo etc standard just for now.....Renthal bars on at mo and give a perfect feel, can't help want to see what some clip ons look like though.

Ok so it's not going too quickly but I'm enjoying doing it in between everything else! ;) Wheels are in and getting a feel of the stance I want to end up with. Used the axle off the disc set up for the front CL drum. Seems I need to manufacturer some spacers to make it work - that's my next...

Thanks for the other comments, this my first 'bike' build. Its a slow one but its happening! ;D

Wheels were built, checked and then powder coated. Once coated checked again. :)
