PJ can you buy spare parts for a drill press. Mine has a damaged locating section in the spindle pulley. Bottom metal bit is broken which means it jumps off the spindle when at full extension. Says its also a morse but that's not yielded any result.

Neevo, you can buy a complete unit, chuck, spindle, etc., so I would imagine you can find parts for it as well. Check your drill press' website and see if they have anything. Or try google.

Damn. I really want one of those, but you just can't find 'em in the US.

a 1980 Honda CB750F Super Sport...Craigslist midnight raid against six other bidders...got there first with the cash...$500 bucks with only 25,000+ miles...this one's going to stay original...

Tried that. It's a no name unit making it hard to find anything. Hoped the pulleys might be somewhat universal so I could just buy a replacement.

Try McMaster Carr or MSC and search by size.

If it's a Chinese on it should have come with instruction book and list of available parts
New quills are available but no idea of cost
You could probably weld it up then grind back to shape?

Is that a CBR400RR?
I tried to get my sister to buy one in 1995, already had a CBR600 motor lined up for when the stocker went 'pop' which they tend to do between 12~20,000 miles (depending how hard you beat on them)
She ended up buying a ZZR600 instead though as she 'doesn't drive fast officer' (after just slowing down from 135mph ;D )

 

[Green199]

yep

Yep CBR400RR....not sure of the year though!

So CBR600 motors can be dropped in....hmmm....much work to get it in? haha

 

[crazypj]

Narrow the rear mounts and a couple of other minor bits as far as I can remember
It's a really hot set up, goes from around 130mph bike to 160 + with modified motor
Don't know if the later CBR600 motor is smaller than the 1995 or earlier?
Post 2005 could be even easier swap?

buddy picked up this xv920 a week or so ago from a guy who did the 2-1 carb swap and tried to run a stock, unmodified first gen carb, stock jetting and pilot.. got frustrated, wanted 700, buddy gave him 400 cash.. had it running the next day like a top. helmet sold seperately.

Nice score MJ

 

[TurdFurguson]

Picked up a tank bag and tail bag to carry some luggage (mostly tools and spare parts) for the trip to the gorge.

I liked the quality of the windscreen I picked up earlier so I decided to give their luggage a try

 

[MJPriceisright]

I had these made to mount them on the curved megaphone pipes that Magni made for me.
I think that they will look cool against the black painted curved megaphone pipes of the '72 CB450 that I have been working on; La Pastinaca".
As you guys know, the curved megaphone pipes was a trademark of the Augusta bikes on the '70's. Hope you all like these.

New Gringo Full Face came yesterday. Stoked on this and the lid collection that's growing.
