That picture is just an arbitrary one I found online! I don't believe I got an OEM gasket kit, I got it from 4into1.com. Any recommendations for where to get an OEM gasket kit?
Either bike would likely do well. Looking at production numbers and prices of CB's and how affordable they are. They would likely take the cake. My business isn't really about making custom parts for one type of bike though. Granted while I will be making my own custom parts to sell to the...
I haven't posted here in a loooong time so I figured I'd give a life/bike update.
After 6 long years of school, I finally obtained my bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering so the bike hasn't gotten much attention. I have managed to go on rides here and there and have been riding it recently but...
Been a while since I've made a post but I've been enjoying the bike finally ! Here are a couple pictures from a recent cruise with some friends. Ill have some content to post in the near future as I have some parts I still need to add to the bike !
If you want to see m ore content that I...
Just a generic one from dime city. Would recommend getting something that's quality made thought. The throttle I got isn't bad and does the job but it could be better.
Look to purchase an early 1980's BMW R100 ("Snow flake wheel"). Willing to travel anywhere in Canada (I'm located in Manitoba) for the most part and would also likely be interested in anything in the states that is close to central Canada. Hopefully someone out there can help me get this bike as...
Time for a long over due update!
** You reading this **
Since last posting I've gotten a new bigger battery for the bike with approximately 230 CCA. It's the perfect amount to turn the engine over so now I no longer have to boost the bike or worry about it dying and being stranded in the...
Small update!
So cables ended up working out. I only replaced the throttle cables and 1 of them is a little to short and needs a bit of modification to fit perfectly but functionally it works perfectly fine. In the process of removing the old throttle cables I found that one of the cables was...
Thanks man!
So literally just ordered some new cables (push/pull, clutch, and choke cable). The push and pull cables I ordered says they'll fit cb750's from 1969 to 1976 and not an 81 however I can't imagine them not still working with my carbs as the the length will work and the fittings on...
^^ Exactly what he said lol. I'm not 100% sure about the amperage but I'd imagine it's a lot bigger then 30.
As of right now it's kind of just in my wiring hanging in a random spot lol. If you've noticed I haven't posted a single picture of my wiring because as of right now it's not very neat...
Alright so I figured out my starting issue. Turns out I didn't have the cables on the starter solenoid connected properly! so that's huge! Now it's just a matter of getting new cables and tuning the carbs!
Update time!
In the process of waiting for the jets I decided to paint the tank and cowl... The cowl is currently still being worked on to get the correct symmetry and curvature because I'm a bit OCD, but as of right now this is where they are at...
Tank & Cowl
As you can see there is a lot...
Update time!
So since last posting I've gotten the wiring done for the most part. I've tested to make sure that I've done it correctly by testing to make sure the starter turns over and I have a spark and so far so good. The only wire that needs to be connected at this point is the wire for the...
Wiring questions for the wiring gurus
So I've come to the point in my wiring where I need some help. Wiring the motogadget was easy enough however incorporating the original components of the wiring harness are leaving my stumped. I'm going to point out everything as best I can and hope that...
Small small update.
So far I've done some very basic wiring to get the controls wired up to turn on the turn signals (front and rear), and the head light. So far it's not bad. I'm sure my wiring could be a million times better but given this is my first time wiring a bike, as long as it works...
Welp, 7 months later and im back to working on the bike. After a very exhausting school year/winter, I finally have sometime to wire the bike. Expect updates.
