Greetings to all! Thought i'd share one of our project bikes with you guys, "Trixie Special". We've been working on this bike for over 2 years now. Just been so busy lately with customer orders, product development and other project bikes that we haven't had anytime to finish this project. The bike started of as a 76 CB750F2 SOHC. All the mods on the frame are all done. We even got the frame powder coat in black last year, but recently decided to change the color to dark bronze. We already made the dual cap tank and single seat for it. Just need to bring it to the painter to get the Norton Manx stripes treatment and get the seat upholstered. We finished the engine rebuild last year, but a couple of weeks ago decided to open up the top end and punched it out close to 850cc. Well now the engine is back on the frame, front end is in place and even mounted our 4 into 4 stainless exhaust to maybe push us to finish this project.
Here are more info bout the build: www.benjiescaferacer.com/trixiespecial.html
This is what what we did to the frame. Didnt really do any major mods to it. Just cleaned it up, and made a whole new tail for it.
And for some teaser pics, here's what the bike currently look like
Here are some of the do to list:
- Norton Manx stripes for the tank and seat
- get the seat upholstered
- mount the aluminum oil tank inside the gas tank
- find a nice spot for the oil cooler
- rebuild oil pump
- run copper lines for the oil tank and cooler
- run wires for the electrical
- make aluminum fenders
- run the lines for the brakes and hydraulic clutch
- mount swing arm and rear shocks,
- fabricate stainless rear sets and linkages
- install clutch
- offset the sprockets
- polish the calipers
- make a new housing for the tachometer
Hopefully before summer ends, this project will be finished (fingers crossed)
