Agreed, but i wanna be able to give girls a good ride every now and then ;)

Im looking for what a next step on my '79 cb650. Let me know what you think should be next?! i have been contemplating mounting LED turn signals inside the cut frame. Be honest, i can take constructive criticism!

Decided to hold off on undoing the wiring harness. I still have the battery and all electronics in the same place so it wont like nice and tight either way. got the headlight installed and everything seems to be fine...

Awesome jacket

Perfect, thanks for the reply. Im a little nervous about doing this but if i just take my time and do a good job im sure everything will turn out alright. I just purchased a new headlight from dime city cycles and the hole in the back is not wide enough to fit the larger main clip through. If i...

I need to eliminate the Rat King (google that) that is my headlight and wiring harness. I have removed the horn blinkers speedo and tach and i simply unclipped all of these wires. this leaves several extra clips and wires in my headlight coming from my wiring harness. What is the best way to...

i like your blog man... keep it up

i did mine all out of sheet metal...

Is the bike turning on? if not it may be the main fuse which is located on the right side (if your sitting on the bike) under the side cover i think. If you've been replacing handle bars or messing with wiring i would check the all of the clips in the headlight.

I love this... how did you make the mount? what does it look like underneath? is it a box, or is it simply a plate?

My first bike was a 78 cb550 with the same color scheme. i loved it and wish i never sold it. I love the tank color and the flashy four into four exhaust. Makes me wish i still had it, rather than my 79 cb650

I love them all... this is the stuff that makes me wonder how people do such nice work in a garage.

First World Problems!

Here's a cleaner pic. I ended up mounting the seat with the pin and lock from the other seat along with a door hinge from home depot. Also, any ideas or advice on what i can do to make this bike look better, next steps, color schemes would be much appreciated!

welp, now i know! Thanks for your help.

I just didn't do very much research and decided to just start and go with the flow. by wrapping it around the frame do you mean making the seat wider so that it fits over the frame bars?

thats what im thinking. ill probably end up welding a door hinge to the frame and bolt it to the seat

Thanks! Im having a terrible time trying to mount it securely to the frame. I dont want to weld it or permanently attach it. I cant seem to find any frame mounts or brackets that i can see working properly... any ideas?

This is my first attempt working with a welder and doing metal work. I still need to adjust it to cover the end of the frame and make it fit nice and snug. I made a skeleton seat pan out of angle iron and a square steel bar i purchased at home depot. I cut some sheet metal and surprisingly...
