Kilroy Cafe

This is my cafe, 71' cb750 836cc. It's got more work done on it than tax reform.

As it sits now

WOW... I love it
That is the exact exhaust 4-1 that I have on my cb750 right now...

Looks great!.. Welcome aboard...

Hey Big B... Check it out...

Always loved that bike.
I think I am gonna ditch my stock MAC cannon and go that route
with the exhaust (much cleaner look)...

My plan is just to stick a short Turn-out muffler that I have on to the end of that headder after I wrap it all up in Black headder tape.

I might have to try some decals like yours to break up all the green on mine.

BTW........you can get those checkerboard decals fairly cheap at a hobby shop.....RC Planes......around $2.99 for a 3ft x 5" sheet. I know I've seen them being sold for Cafes' at around $25 a sheet. :

Well, if you're worried about going deaf because you don't want an open pipe near your ass...then I'm morbidly curious as to what comes out your ears!

 

[eightthirtysixcc]

The checks on my bike are painted and I do have a baffle in the pipe so its not all that loud!

Great looking CB. 8)

Doesn't the front fender act as a fork brace? Having no front fender may make your front end do some things you don't want it to do.

 

[eightthirtysixcc]

Yea I hear the forks will shimmy but I haven’t had any problems yet.
But that is the kind of problem that pokes its head after it’s too late.

Fork brace: Another item on the long list of never ending fixes and modifications...

Here's what I did for a fork brace... Bit of roundbar - bent over a piece of wood cut out with the jigsaw - and welded to some steel strips.

Oh yeah, that's what you call first timer welds, hah, kept em on the inside so they wouldn't be so sloppy.

I'd consider a brace. When I push my sohc hard in a sweeper I can really feel the weaving - even with the fender.

Great idea! A lot cheaper than buying a telefix or something similar.

Thanks.
WoW, almost 2 YEARS exactly between the original post and the reply! ;D

What battery did you use? I'm looking to relocate mine under the seat hump as well. Any pics of the mounting bracket that I can steal ideas off of?

Have you switched to a tapered head bearing? That should fix alot of that wobble
