I prefer the look of the shorter pipe, but I don't think a high & sharp exhaust sound would fit the look of the bike. If it were mine I'd probably settle on option 2 for the sound

Hey thanks Uber! Below is a screenshot of the turn signals that I bought on ebay, just had to make the brackets. For the rears I also painted the chrome bezel black so it would blend in better.
The main reason I used duplicolor for the base coat was because it was a cheap way for me to find...
I found some cheap, tiny LED turn signals on ebay and made little brackets to mount them to the upper shock mounts. I liked them so much I did the same for the front.
The swingarm extension slugs were somewhat of an afterthought. I was aimlessly browsing online and stumbled upon them, realized I had an extra swingarm, so I decided to give them a shot. The slugs are quality items and have a satisfyingly perfect fit inside the swingarm. I also chose slightly...
The fuel tank was a huge process. After fixing the dents I set out to put a solid paint job on it, with a rattle can! I used a cheap Duplicolor for the the base color, then a fancy clear coat to protect from gasoline etc. Plus countless hours of wet sanding and polishing, both for the tank and...
The fuel tank had some bad dents on the right side. I used a blow torch to heat the dented areas, then pushed the dents out from the inside with a metal rod that I rounded off at the end. I got the surface as smooth as possible, then put a thin coat of bondo to finish it off.
Here's the parts breakdown:
- 1969 CB front forks
- 19" CL front wheel w/ drum
- 1972(?) CB350 front fender
- CB500 Twin fuel tank
- 1973(?) CB side covers complete with Honda Dream tank badges
- rear set footpegs from Slipstream Cycle Works
- seat made from old skateboard, then...
Hey guys just finished this bike and thought I'd share some pictures I took along the way. I'll briefly describe things but feel free to ask any questions!
So a few years ago I went to a junkyard in search of a particular part, instead I found an empty frame with a pile of parts claiming to be...
If this is the same bike that Zoopants was asking about in his thread, http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=55421.0 then I'm pretty sure it's not a 1975 or an F model. I have a 75 550F that I've brought back from the dead, and in the process I've learned a lot about the differences...
Good job man. Maybe I underestimated gioventures abilities, but he didn't strike me as someone who wanted to go through all that. The best way to make cable ends is by using a solder pot, and I figured he didn't have one laying around. I didn't want to suggest something that may fail on him...
