1977 cb750f2 Ride video

[tweakin]

The sun was finally out today in the PNW so I took the day of and put some miles in on the new engine. I am still trying to figure out the correct angle to mount my GoPro to my helmet so this is an interesting view. Sorry if the video make some of you dizzy . Bike is running great and now have all 5 gears, the initial part of the video is at 2X speed so my bike doesn't really idle at that speed... Looking forward to some open roads and the engine to be completely broken in so I feel comfortable at the higher rpm's, but you can get an idea.

Sorry neevo, just saw your post. The front brake is a unit by Nissin similar to the ones sold by Dime City, http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-caferacer-cafe-racer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-brake-parts-aluminum-nissin-hydraulic-front-brake-master-cylinder-perch-lever-kit-717-651.html

and the clutch is a unit made by MSR, http://www.amazon.com/MSR-Replacement-Clutch-Lever-CL-6170/dp/B000WJGAEO/ref=sr_1_4?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1333271657&sr=1-4

Absolutely gorgeous! Well done.

If the Japanese 4 saw this, they'd start mass producing them . . . that's a compliment

What hubs did you used on the wire rims and is that a Yamaha swing arm?

 

[tweakin]

I am using a 77 GL1000 front hub and GL1000 front end, 76 Cb750f rear hub. The swing arm is one of Carpy's 750f boxed swing arms.

What hubs did you used on the wire rims and is that a Yamaha swing arm?
