Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

Tabs welded on for Rearsets.
I was initially concerned about the strength, but after getting them welded, they are rock solid.
A few smacks with a 4lb sledge and not a budge.

Meh, slow progress this week.
Polished my rear shocks and painted the springs with Plastic Dip.

08 GSXR 1000 for the left, and the right is from an 08 GSXR 750.
Something like that......
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

shocks look great man! you sure that is not oging to leave you really scruched up where the rear sets sit? they seem pretty high and back. can you get your toe under the shifter?

Different models but there the same correct?
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

I'm not sure, I could tell you if I had some wheels! :-X


I can always fab new brackets if needed.
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

tonight at 9 bud! come get em! took a crap ton of work but man they look great!!!!!
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

No doubt, I'm sure it was worth the wait.
I'd rather have them done right than half @$$ed.

Kinda :)
I had originally bought a pair from a 750, but wasn't happy with the way the linkage fit for the left rear set.
The 1000 left rear set was much better, so rather than buying both, I bought just the left one.

There's some minor differences, like one of them has a slit in the peg, and the other doesn't.
The major difference is I think one has a different angle on the V bracket.
It offsets from the other by maybe .5 to 1 inch. I have adjustable plates, but I think I'll have to fab up a different plate.
The difference might not be that noticeable, but we'll see once I sit on it. (FONZIE)
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

Mounted the rear wheel and mocked up the rear hoop with some tape since I haven't had a chance to weld it in yet.
Took some finagling to get it to fit like I thought it might.
Looks like I'll need some CB1100F shocks, but looks pretty rad IMO.

Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

why not have them weld a 45 for our seat hoop? that would look cool and work, or you doing it for the seat pan more? wheel looks great see ya around 7
ooh ya PAINT THOSE FOOT CONTROLS!
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

The hoop follows the contour of the seat and yes, I've made a pan that the electronics will sit on.
Also, there's not much room for the tail light, and the hole is already cut :)
For now, I plan on just replacing the foot control pegs with some black ones.
Maybe in the fall I'll have the rest powder coated.
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

Made some progress.

Seat hoop welded in.

Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

plate will get you pulled over in IL... they are nuts on them now. has to be horizontal man vertical will not work... also roll it around a basket ball pole or use a sand bag and big pipe, will be much smooooother and not have all the creases in it
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

Good to know.
I was going to redo the plate bracket anyway because I want a sharp 90.

I used a light pole to bend it, but its pretty flimsy.....

Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

Not much going on right now.....
I took all the tape off my harness and am cleaning the wires up.
A big thanks to Joe for the idea with the expandable sleeving.
I've got lots of wires to re-route too.
Next I'll be putting my control wires inside the handlebars.

Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

Bad news......
the Lossa bars aren't hollow all the way through.....
Sigh.
 
Re: My 1976 CB750F Build

I'm not really a quitter, so I spent around 4 hours making holes in the Lossa bars and fishing through the wires.
There's like a dozen on the left control, so it was really hard!

Look Mom, no wires!
