I plan to lay the frame over the motor, but i had to see what it looked like....

 

[jag767]

Motor is in. What a pain in the ass.

Wow. That colour combo is truly badass!

Thanks. Everyone thought I was nuts doing a white bike, but by the time I get all the silver and chrome on I think it's gonna look just fine. If I wind up wanting less white I'm going to have the tank airbrushed.

Been very busy, but did manage to get the swingarm/ shocks on, as well as the new bearings with triple installed. tomorrow should bring a full roller, I hope.

Cool project. Can't wait to see it all back together.

What a great read.....and a great looking project.

What did you use on the exterior of the engine? I like the nice clean "gray" look of the cases...is that a hi heat paint of some sort?

Got into the electrical today, shouldnt be much longer to be complete. Decided to throw the tank and seat on for a photo. The tank needs a graphic for sure.

Very clean. Make sure you keep it away from bugs, tar, grime, rain and roads

Yep. It's the tach. I don't use a speedo. Here is a video of the same one on my 175

Got a bit more done. Left to do:

Change front brake linkage
Install exhaust
Install airbox
Put on kickstand
Put on kicker and shift lever
Put on new axle adjusters
Run fuel line
Go through the torque specs for every bolt one last time
Go for a long ride

Gorgeous bike. Just unbelievable and Im stoked you have heart enough to go with white. What tires are those, may I ask? I have a 72 CB 350F and am now looking at tire options
