74 cb350F-budget build

Couple more photos. You will also notice I got rid of the gray grips for black because even though they were brand new, they looked like crap from grabbing them with dirty hands.

Good stuff, that thing should be rock solid by the time you're done.
 
...wins the race. Way to change the fork oil before you cut it into pieces.
 
Ha I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but I found out the hard way in the past. If you got leaky seals just get them over with while they are pulled!
 
Usually. But not this time. I would like to see more threads start like this.
 
Thanks. I actually was looking to replace a cracked blinker lens and I can across some clear ones. I think they will complement the black better so I ordered them. I also and reworking the taillight to something less bulky. I will update with pictures soon.
 
Thank you. I actually prefer to use the rustoleum brand because I have had the best luck with that. Even though it's Bed liner you should still do all the necessary prep work that you would regular paint. I just made sure to get even coverage on the first coat then hit it with a touch up second coat. The stuff is awesome I spilled gas all over the tank filling up and it didn't do a thing. It also hides imperfections well too.
 
Sweet build mate 8) i love wot ya did with ya tins i used rattle cans on mine spent forever trying to get i right :-\ ya saved yerself heap of time n hassle doin bedliner good luck with yer finishing touches, or are projects ever finished ::) haha :eek:
 
Couple updates but nothing too crazy. Still no seat yet. I swapped out the stock turn signal lenses for clears. I also replaced the enormous stock tail light and holder for something a little smaller.

I'll say again: any "budget build" that doesn't immediately render the bike useless is good in my book. I like the taillight.
 
Really like the steps you have taken and what you have done. This "budget build" is turning into one beautiful bike.
 
Thanks guys. Ya, there is always that voice in my head that wants to spend all my money on making it look a certain way, but cost and retaining stock-ness are large factors here.
 
Yup i get that feeling too got a drawer full of receipts gonna add em all up see wot the end cost was £££'s i bet :eek: ???.Best way is to just make it yours mate ;)

Noooo don't add them up! You will regret it!! I did...
 
Haha I think the reason I'm so cost conscious on this one is because I have kept a running tab the entire time, rather than going by the "hide the receipts in a drawer" method.
 
Well, I kept track too. But the more more I spent, the sicker I felt, and the closer I got the the end the more I spent. Then I looked at the tracking for the package and saw "delivered" and all that went away :)
