Re: I FOUND A WHOLE......YAAAAAAY!

this is such a good reason for proper registration and background checking purchases of angle grinders...

you can have my angle grinder when you can pry it out of the fingers I have left.

shouldn't be too hard honestly

My angle grinder generally tends to find its way into my knuckles.
It's the damn table saw I'm afraid off finger wise

True. But I use my table saw for several hours a day and it gets monotonous and it's real hard not to zone out sometimes. But when you do BAM NO FINGERS BITCH.

Kop can come off as a dick sometimes, but he knows what he's talking about/doing. I used to send him business. A lot of business. I worked at a bike shop (with junkyard) a couple blocks from him.

If you plan to wrap one brace bar, wrap the other one as well, or you are setting the frame up for a weak spot that will end up snapping when you least expect it. Been there, crashed that. Honda frames from the early 60s into the early 90s have an annoying habit of "loading up" in curves, especially if you are into the throttle pretty hot. If you have one side reinforced, it will cause the other one to stress crack and eventually let go. I've broken more than one Honda 4 popper in half in the last quarter century trying to take short cuts on the repairs.

Push stick, every time. I'm clumsy with all my fingers already...

Sound advice! Makes sense. I will be sure to wrap both sides. Thanks for posting and the heads up Scruff!

CB750 motor is pretty heavy, (about 212lbs)
When I was 21 I could pick them up and lift them out of frame pretty easy but wouldn't even attempt it today (even if my back wasn't already messed up)
If it was mine I would do the frame plugs and bolt in tubes.
You don't need to remove them for valve adjustment , only for engine removal in the future.
Friend used to run drag bikes with the tubes removed and no extra bracing without any frame breakage (early 70's before Kawasaki Z1 came out) but, bike usually only did 1/4 mile at a time

I helped a friend pull the motor on a 750 and damn that thing really is heavy. Coming from 350s and 400s it's like pulling a 454 big block out of a miata.
