So I have a few parallel focuses at the moment. I am restructuring my workshop which is in a basement to fit my metal shaping needs.The basemeent was completely restored by me, it was in a terrible state a lot of mould. I already established a welding area (with a self built welding table that...

Very nice!Make sure that you have enough clearance between the seat and the rear tire.was my first mistake I made when I had my first project.the rear tire hit the mounting screws and got scratched badly...dangerous. As a reference check out how much clearance the stock rear mudguard has on that...

If you want to have a go and see if its youre thing I would advise on taking a course at Wray Schelins workshop near Boston (www.proshaper.com).Amazing guy, great learning curve.Was there last October.

One of the challenges for this project wl be mounting or better 'hanging' the battery between the end of the motor and the rear wheel. I want to use stock Yamaha xs 750 bar clamps since I am not allowed to weld in this area for making this bike street legal. I also want to mount the battery box...

Hey Jimbonaut!Really not that hard to learn especially with aluminium.Will have to do some repair work too on this fairing side, I rolled the thickness from the alu from 1.5MM down to 0.5MM this is how strong the wheel can thin the metal. Shaping brass is even more satisfying, malleable but not...

Thanks maritime!Will need your expertise soon dont worry :-)

What I am currently working on is the headlight, and the mount of the headlight which will lead into making the front fairing (brass material). All the metal parts will be rubber mounted so will the mounts of the headlight will be. Also the exhaust mounts will be silent-rubber-blocks. I also...

The end result of the fairing will look a little bit like this, everything is still in the making though.

Hi Forum! Its been a long time since I posted on this glorious forum.I have been busy with life and learning a bit of metalshaping.Along the lines of restoring a Honda CB 750 and making my workshop actually work I have been slowly but surely working on this custom Yamaha XS750 triple project...

Long time no hear! I´ve been busy with life and with a trip to US to Wray Schelins Coachbuilding class this october.Learned a lot about metalshaping. The work on the exhausts continues.I´ve been busy carefully cleaning the rusted parts of the exhaust, welding up the rust holes with silicone...

Re: Honda "l'arancio dolce" CB 750 Resto-Mod Project Hey guys... Finally again some time to continue on this project. The stock exhaust looks generally good except for some repairs I will need to do. The exhaust of cylinder 3 is worst. There is a lot of soot on the inside and I guess...

Nice bike Sarah!Welcome to the community!

Re: Project "walrus" Yam XS 750 Been using the bike very regularly. Very nice and reliable. One thing that annoys me Is that I need a proper catch can or some kind for the crankcase. When I stand on the traffic lights the fumes of the burning oil are intoxicating.[emoji23] What are...

Re: Honda "l'arancio dolce" CB 750 Resto-Mod Project Thank you! Yes I need to check the condition more throughly though. Looks like one of these was welded already badly by the police.The welded exhaust seems to have been bent by riding over a sidewalk or some kind. All the other...

Hey guys! Long time no hear. I was able to re adjust the cam chain...the bike now runs way smoother so the restoration continues! We were able to take 75 per cent of the bike apart. Took of the loom too so there is good progress. The exhaust of cylinder number 2 is damaged and has a good amount...

Hey guys! I´m looking for a complete Kawasaki Z400 headlight in useable condition. Offers and prices please!

Re: Project "walrus" Yam XS 750 Thank you nanno. I changed the mains to bigger ones a few months back and turned the mixture screws out a bit but this didn't seem to solve the issue (since then the bike seems to 'spit and spatter' when cold and started with choke). Gesendet von...

Re: Project "walrus" Yam XS 750 I decided to go for a new tire and I'm again riding that big ol walrus every day and it's a fun bike I can say! Since nearly everything now is sorted I want to move onto the carbs. First I want to build a aluminium air box for the bike when I find the...

Thanks guys for the input! The fairing is slowly coming along. A lot of shaping sanding and all the good stuff. I need to figure out how to finish the edges of the fairing. I had a chat with the engineer that will make the registration and told me that the edges need at least 2.5mm 'rolling...

Keep the good progress coming! Gesendet von meinem EML-L29 mit Tapatalk
