Frankenfe said:Been meaning to ask, how was the CBR600 transplant?
I installed a '98 CBR600 front end onto a '74 CB750 and I had to also transplant the stem portion from the 750 lower triple to the CBR lower triple to get the right stem length and get the machined bearing surfaces on the stem to be in the right places. I was able to use a standard tapered CB750 bearing set.
Did you have to gather / make up a custom set of bearings?

MotorbikeBruno said:Still concerned about the tuning because of the different lengths :-\ , but boy is it pretty ;D. And that exhaust mount looks absolutely fantastic!
nerdsports said:This is a budget build so I'm building with things I have or what I can get for dirt (or free). I had a limited about of bends so I couldn't go crazy on the left cylinder to make them equal length. I'm aware of its drawbacks - I'll have to deal with them.
Thanks for the kind words, fellas.
MotorbikeBruno said:I hear ya. Been there! Again, killer work, and that mount is too damn pretty, I'm going to have to steal that idea if you don't mind!
