My new CB project

Started working on it. Going with a Duc Monster seat cowl as a tail. I knocked up the seat yesterday, 3rd time was a charm. Used some lexan as a base, bent it with a heat gun, it worked out really well. Gotta do some brackets to hold the cowl on & make an undertail. Might pick up an integrated monster tail light, keep it clean & easy. Have to cut some of the rear frame section out.

And I think I have about a weeks worth of cleaning & polishing the aluminum on this thing!

Cool man. Any plans for a new paint job?

 

[JS550]

Yes. Im thinking gloss black with some satin black HRC wings, maybe the knee areas stain black too. Once I set the tail on it, I was diggin the gloss black with all the polished aluminum. Maybe recover the seat in a tan/saddle color.

Made some progress. Did the rear of the frame, mounted the seat and tail, made an under seat/tail out of some lexan, cleaned up & redid some wiring, re-polished the wheels,swingarm, & forks, replaced all the brake lines with black goodridge (pics still have old brake lines) Been riding it a bit!

Put some clip ons on the 750 this past week to! Gotta take it back apart & do some painting, but I wanted to ride with them to see if I like them.

Both projects look good!

 

[JS550]

Thanks man.

 

[JS550]

Painted it! Not bad for rattlecan. Makes me wish I would have spent more time on body work! Lotsa wetsanding & rubbing out.
