Re: The South Seattle CB750 F3 project - New pics of my Norman Hyde M bars
Got the front end all buttoned up today. I am still working on getting my rear axle situation taken care of. Should be a few more weeks before she is road worthy again. Also figured I would give a sneek peak of the rearsets FunJimmy is helping tweakin and I design and build.

Re: The South Seattle CB750 F3 project - gettin spoked
I know that bike table! you guys are coming along great! another GL front end... got to ask... why? just the fatter forks? does not look like your using the air shock out of it, or is it more of the duel calipers? i love the new bars man! 100% better than clubs... really dig those!

Re: The South Seattle CB750 F3 project - gettin spoked
The only reason I went with GL forks is because I wanted spoked wheels and dual discs. The 77-78 F forks are to narrow to fit the spokes. The wider front end is a plus as well. Not to mention GL front ends are a dime a dozen.

Re: The South Seattle CB750 F3 project - gettin spoked
LOTS of changes since my last update. Finally got the rearsets completed. FunJimmy went above and deyond to design and fabricate rearsets for tweakin and I. THANKS!!!! I was going to have them hard anodized but it was going to cost way to much so I went ahead and had them powdercoated. I also coated my new NOS Dresda swingarm and got that all buttoned up as well as my spoke conversion. I said what the hell and threw some new IKON shocks in the rear since I had new suspension with the GL1000 front end. While everything was apart I painted my CR29 carb bowls and slide covers and added K&N filters replacing the stacks I had. I was never happy with the Chromex on the pipes so it was recoated in Black Velvet satin ceramic. Frankenstuff sent me one of his new ribbed points covers to see if I liked it. I think it looks pretty cool just needs some paint. Now if I could just get some dry weather I could take her out for a shakedown run.
On the way... Black Anodized fork Superbrace, 530 chain conversion with black anodized rear sprocket from Sprocket Specialist and chain from Diamond Chain Co.

Few new pictures with my completed FunJimmy/Joker rearsets. GL1000 front end rides nice and stable. Feels way different than the stock front end. The bike is about 95% completed (for now). I am still waiting on my Superbrace fork brace. I also need to tune the carbs on the dyno and adjust the fork oil. The 7W oil is a bit light. I am debating Racetech emulators and springs.
