82 CB750C DOHC Cafe Racer Build

[jyecb750c]

Hell yeah! I thought that stuff would look good on a motorcycle with, you know, a motor in it. Glad to see it put to some good use.

Also I apologize for the color that stuff was painted. I'm colorblind and I laid that down before my wife got to me.

Thank you,I was looking for spokes for a while glad i found them.
And for the paint not a problem it came off really easy.

Cb750c VS Cb750k---2 inches shorter and NO air assist 8)

No shit... huh.
Can you measure from axle center to top of the tube for ride height comparision??
I'm wondering with the C model having the leading axle, what the true length difference is.

 

[jyecb750c]

Ill get the measurements tomorrow ..

Couple of parts came in today.
DYNA coils

530 chain and a gaskets for the carbs

Looks like you're moving fast. I'm subbed. How did you get the engine so clean? I keep heating and scrubbing and adding solvents but there is some serious grime on my stuff.

No rust though... my valve covers were covering the valves well.

Nice Goods!
Float bowl gaskets and plugs, is that all you need?

 

[kraptastic k]

Yeah, I have 4 rebuild kits that I don't need. And the carbs that they apply to- don't need them either. Let me know if you need the parts
