I do Powder Coating and am also a painter. I always say Powder Coat frames, wheels, forks... Its tougher than normal paint.. I used paint on my first bike and PC on my second and my second looks much better than the first.. After some street time.. Not sure where you are from but I run a shop...

Im guessing you'd have to maybe run another swing arm or something like that if you use a GSXR front end and rear wheel. Thats why im on here. Trying to figure out what Im looking at as far as work and whats more cost effective. The GL front end is looking like the best choice, but the GSXR's...

We dont have any problems with fabbing. Have everything we need and my brother is a fabber and Im a body man/painter... We dont have a problem there, just wondering which is the best one.. The GL has been getting mentioned pretty often so maybe Ill go that route. We'll see I guess..

I know people have posted stuff about this a million times. But.... I want to do a front end swap on my 73 CB 750. Mostly for the double disc. Im looking for a GSXR front end.. But what are your opinions? Ive seen something about guys just adding a disc to the existing wheel.. What do you guys...

I never took anything in the actual motor apart because it was running before I ripped the bike apart. I'll try the points thing and see what happens with that I guess... I'll let you boys know.. Thanks for the help guys...

Vonyinzer, its a 73 CB 750... I went through the wiring pretty closely today but havent checks the points yet which is something that Im planning to do... If I put the new coils on and nothing, I think I'll start with running new wires and see if that does anything. But I did have power all the...

Okay guys so before my bike came apart it ran. Long story short its back together but Im not getting spark. There is power going to the coil. but nothing past it. Obviously, Im going to try another coil I have because obviously its pointing towards the coil being junk. But its just the fact it...

WFO is right... Ive been a body man and bike builder for years and high filler primer is awesome if you have the right stuff BUT to fill in holes or something like that its better to just fill it in the right way... Its very hard to get filler primer to keep the holes filled meaning after you...

Wow, thats good to know also Alpha.. Wiring is my weakness, Ive been able to do all my bikes that I build but I didnt know that.. Seems like you can never know ENOUGH about wiring. I personally, HATE it.. Id rather build five motors than wire one bike..Honestly 8)

Personally, Id run OEM... On the first bike I built (CB 750) I got aftermarket controls that were more condense, etc. I thought it was the best way to go but to be honest once I put them on.. I kind of said, ah, I guess they look okay. They are actually fairly bulky. Plus obviously with...

I know this is going to come off completely asshole-like and Im for sure, not trying to be a dink.. But Ive been a painter since right out of high school and about 98% of the things Im seeing you guys talk about would be solved with a different gun... What kind of gun are you working with? Kong...

The easiest and quickest thing to do with screws that are rounded off from being too tight or seized is grab a drill bit about the size of the actually star, maybe a bit smaller, and grab your drill and put it in reverse. It works about 90% of the time and its gotten me out of a million binds...

Hey guys, looking for a coil for a 73 CB 750... Ive got two of these things, almost have one completely built but when we wired up the switches and tried it Im not getting spark.. Power to the coil, nothing from there on.. Anyone?

Yeah you know what Im saying, the part that kind of separates the two in the middle..

By pain I meant paint haha
