Thanks for the kind words fella's! I spent some time in the lab last night and was able to get a few things done. I stripped the tank down to bare metal (Again). welded on my rearset mounts,and replaced and welded my brake linkage bracket. I broke down and purchased some Durgram DIY rearsets and they are in hand and very nice! I also repositioned my clubmans more forward. After following soniers suggestion on the clubmans position and building my seat pan i soon realized that my big ass would be very uncomfortable. I know the new position isn't traditional but it will be way more comfortable for me! I plan on spending the night chipping away and hope to have her up and running by Sunday! I will post pics of the progress.
ok fellas, i finally completed the body work on the tank and seat pan. I would like to give a shout out to my brother Kenny for his help and tips with the body work! I welded in the rearset mounts and painted the rear of the frame again. I also redid the electronics tray and battery box.
Also picked up a new bike 1970 cb350 with 4,700 original miles check out the apes lol
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I really wanted to get this scoot done before the Wv winter set in but I have redone so many things on this bike to suit my ocd. I just finished up the wiring (thanks you tom), the paint is done (thank you kenny), and I welded up a stronger/lower battery box last night to clear my pod filters. All that is left to do is cut and weld my shift/brake linkage for my rear sets, finish up my dash panel, and redo my exhaust. I picked up a cool supertrap muffler (with tuning disk) and will do a 2 into 1 collector. Should have her running this weekend i pray!
Alright guys she is coming down to the wire! Also we are getting some abnormal weather for this time of year and I should be able to get some riding in before the snow hits. Everything is wired and loomed, rearsets are mounted and linked, I am getting spark. Tonight I will slap on the tank,sync my carbs and take her out!
Updates! I got the bike together. Had a few issues with the float sticking but tore the carbs apart and fixed the issue. I spent today riding the bike and taking some photos along the way. I still need to sync the carbs and wrap the seat pad but I am all grins right now. The bike tracks straight and pulls hard. My baffles turned out really well and the exhaust isn't loud and obnoxious at all. I am very happy to say the least.
The bike is super. do you have more detail pics of the rearset work you did? Also the pipes look great. I am half ass looking into high pipes myself. for the addition of rear sets.
