Re: Salt City Cafe Build 1970 CB750
Today was day 2 or cleaning the motor, I got it a lot....cleaner?.....I dunno I'm not completely happy with it but short of soda blasting it really isn't gonna get much cleaner. Still some to go once I get it back off the engine stand but I guess it will do for now.
Before:
After:
Also trimmed the seat a little, now it looks less goofy. Still has some trimming and fitting to do as well.

Re: Salt City Cafe Build 1970 CB750
How about a looooooong overdue update! I kinda took the summer off and rode the crap out of my sv650, but its winter and I am back on track and trying to finish this thing this winter.
Today I built my rear set mounts which are a shameless ripoff in design from cognito moto
First made a pattern and mock up, dig those sexy tarozzi rear sets
Transfered the pattern to aluminum and made rough cut outs
Then drilled small holes and bolted the two pieces together for the next step
Next is a lot of time on a grinder and some air tools to make the two pieces an exact match.
Here they are in a more finished product mock up.
I also finished fixing a dent in my tank and its ready primer

I totally forgot to do an update post from last week, so here we go.
First tore it back down to pieces
Then immediately put it back together for mock up. Had to make sure everything missed and fit. I am liking the look so far.
More shameless rip off as I started mocking up the oil tank. Going to do a neat little filler nozzle. More on that later.

Re: Salt City Cafe Build 1970 CB750
So been making my seat pan for the past few weeks. Work was slow with Christmas and all that but here she is ready for foam.
Started with a paper pattern and transferred that to steel. I have never done any of this before so it looks kinda rough bit the finished product is pretty cool.
These were the chosen tools of the trade.
I slowly worked the steel around until it matched the curve of the tank.
Then I had to work it so that it tapered down to meet the frame rails.
It ended up fitting pretty nice.
Had to add a couple filler pieces next to the tank
Then trimmed everything up and added a few mounting studs in the back
It came out pretty awesome now i need to get the foam on it and sculpted and then off for leather work.
