Hey I ordered a hoop and havent heard back in two weeks

Haven't had much time to work on the project with the holidays but I did knock out a little bit today. More polishing: Bought myself a soda blaster for christmas and blasted the engine cases, pistons, exhaust, and jugs today. Was hoping to paint them too but being 30 degrees out it was...

This little gem came in yesterday from Moto Madness's cyber monday deal! M-Unit!

Any updates? Great build and documentation!

Got a little bit more work done. It all fit in my Abarth!

Debating on what I want to do with the engine cosmetically. Vapor blast the whole thing for a great natural looking engine? Paint the jugs black? crankcase black? Any input? The color scheme is going to be black frame, pearl white/light grey tank/seat, and brown accents.

Exactly! I need my seasons! Well as this weekend wraps up I got the cases split and studs pulled, not bad progress. I will pull all the innards out of the crankcase tomorrow and begin soaking them in either kerosene or diesel for a week along with the jugs and valve cover. I did the...

Made some progress breaking the engine down today, Ill finish up tomorrow so I can send off the cases to get vapor blasted.

Thanks for the heads up! I've already decided to both go with alloy and with a custom builder anyways but thanks! Maybe I'll contact Roc City, which model from BCR did you have?

Back from Hawaii and started on the bike today! I will spend an hour or two after work this week taking apart the engine and sending in the cases for vapor blasting. Contacted Retro Moto twice to get underway on a custom tank and seat but have yet to hear back. Maybe Ill stop by their shop...

Beautiful bike and that's a great looking tank, something I may need to consider. I do LOVE the shape of BCRs Pinas tank so I may just have a custom tank built similar to that but still my own. Who knows we'll see! While I am on a budget, I will not let cost dictate this build. If I need to...

Haha yea that's what I thought but the pace of life is a little too slow out here!

Alright so I think I'm going to pass on the BCR tank after contemplating the quality of fiberglass tanks. Now I plan on having a custom aluminum tank/seat made from one of our sponsors here, Retro Moto. They are local to me too which is nice. Custom oil tank is being ordered this week too...

Nope, haven't ordered the BCR stuff yet. Ive heard a few bad stories but also seen a lot of beautiful finished bikes with his products on them. I'm not too worried about having to finish it up to make it work, my family owns a paint and body shop so it will be done professionally. As for that...

Everyone, Thought I would begin to document my '78 CB750 SOHC Cafe build. The bike currently resides in Dallas and I am living in Maui until early November so I am planning and ordering parts as of now. I am going all out on this build. My last bike, a '74 CB360 was completed half-assed and...

I heard Murder By Death in the background of the motogadget video, YES! Great build!

SOHC

I unfortunately cracked my oil pan while doing an oil change today and need a new one ASAP! I am located in the Dallas area and can pickup within 100 miles. Please let me know what you have! Thank you, Jarob

Haha yea it is good call... Well north padre island I guess, that's where I moved from.
