Re: 79 CB750K, Bol d 'Or RCB inspired build

So, I'm pluggin away at it right now as we speak and brought the computer down with me.

Got the lowers painted... Not too happy with the finish of the paint. I will sand a bit more and hopefully shoot one last coat after it cures.

Going to cut some 1" square stock to fit in for my upper shock brace and I dono after that.

Edit: after several coats, wet sanding and clear they are damned good. I will post pictures when I get the seals back in and have it all assembled again.

Aw c'mon guys. He's finally getting this whole thing straightened out pretty good. Besides, if you don't make mistakes, it's harder to learn anything.

B Rat - got any pics of those painted forks?

I JUST got my fork seals tapped in. When I get home tonight I will take some pictures. I want to get my forks all accembled. I think I will also drill some more holes in my rotor too.

I think in light of all the "train crashing in to a 40 car pile up during a tornado on a long weekend" comments I will make a fresh thread tonight.


Here are a few more target shots:

I like the zip ties best!

Re: 79 CB750K, Bol d 'Or RCB inspired build

I have a seat nearly identicle to that in the forsale section, about the same condition as well.....Blue, early TZ style tail. I'm in Ontario, so shipping out west to you may be $$$ I dont know.

Re: 79 CB750K, Bol d 'Or RCB inspired build

Its perfect. You should def get it from m357.5!

Re: 79 CB750K, Bol d 'Or RCB inspired build

Not far off.

I was looking at some similar on airtech too.

Re: 79 CB750K, Bol d 'Or RCB inspired build

m357.5's would be great. Its always good to keep the $ in DTT too. You could always trim it down a bit. Glass is easy to cut!

food for thought - those seats are real short and unless your tank is long, you may have an issue

You have an angle grinder and cutting wheel don't you! You can fix it!

Re: 79 CB750K, Bol d 'Or RCB inspired build

It is a bit short actually, but fitted on my T500 with either my glass tank ( similar to CR450 Honda racer ) or with my GS450 tank its not short at all....but then the rear frame rails have been narrowed and shortened on the T500, so ?
I'm selling it cuz I want a TZ750 duck tail for it instead.

I however don't have a Razor Scooter...

Will see once M 357 gets back with the dimensions. No sence in trying to make something that doesent fit...

but, it is blue... It would match my Dunstall PERFECTLEY
