where are the skis?
Well I have owned this bike since October of 2010(paid $200 for what you see in the first few pics after I cleaned it up), put about 1000 miles on it and last spring I took it apart to change a leaky o ring on a head stud and head gasket. While it was apart I bought another project car(1994 Nissan Silvia S14, Right Hand Drive). So since i was soaking money into that, the bike got put under a tarp and all parts in a container never to be touched until about 2 weeks ago. A buddy messaged me on Facebook and said he wanted a bike, I happen to find a guy selling a 1973 CB750 running with a spare parts bike(almost complete) and a ton of parts. This re sparked my interest and what started as a head gasket and o ring has now turned into a bit more.
I am still not sure on the definitive style of the bike, part Cafe, Part brat style. etc.
Finished goal is a flat seat/satin.rough finish style bike but with clip ons,etc
Before cleanup(as bought it)
After Cleanup
As of the last 2 weeks.
THANK GOD I bagged and tagged everything when I put it away years ago.
Cleaning up the motor for pain
First bit of High Temp Satin black
Brought the Frame in to touch it up and start cutting.
Ready for the chopping
Bye Bye!
Mikuni VM30s showed up from a fellow DTT Memeber!
Also Ordered a 4 Cell Antigravity, went with the small one because the CJ series had no electric start option so I Dont need much.
Old 2Into1 exhaust with a tractor muffler mounted on. ByeBye, picked up some CB360 headers from the local wrecker and began cleaning them up.
Annnnnnd Motor is pretty well done. All new gaskets, Paint , New Stainless steel hardware set from Z1 Enterprises. Also got new points on the way for it and I replaced one rocker arm.
Also ordered some new things from DCC-Points/33mm Clip Ons,Cat eye tailight,New small smoked signals and of course a 2into1 Mikuni Throttle cable.
And last but not least its current stage is mocking up a seat pan and electronics box for everything!
Constructive Criticism is more than welcomed! please let me know what you think This is after all my first bike build ever!
Thanks
