I'd stick with what you were originally doing theres just as much work in modifying the new one as completing your own.
Anyhow it looks like something I was going try on a CB900f I'm to start soon. So I'd like to see how it goes, So no self interest here ;D

Hoosier Daddy said:Agree 200%. A little more research revealed it was originally for a CB350 from a memeber here on DTT who worked with slipstream on the mold. I took the dimensions of the seat out to the frame and did some gozindas. Too short, too narrow, seating position too far forward. I would have to cut up the new seat just to get it close to what I already have. Only thing right was the shape.
Oh well, not like I haven't done this before, I know what and how plus have the design already done... as an added bonus, I kinda like the smell of styrene.
Hoosier Daddy said:Also... Don't know if I mentioned what a BITCH it is to find the correct 20mm petcock for this '82 tank! Seems they only made this one for 1 year on the CB750's and CB900's.. The one that I originally got was in bad shape, pit hole in the bowl. So lots of searching and waiting found the proper one in good condition for another $20.
I have made a small "Dolly" from when I did my GL. Set the engine on it and the bike on the center stand then roll it in place. Then with only a short way to lift it in position can be adjusted with wood blocks under the engine and my floor jack just fits between to casters to lift the whole thing up.notlob said:How are you getting the engine in?
