Simple mount plate idea for CB 750's

I think you will have a few takers for that......

Thanks, I reckon the kit would be as simple as:

- a left and right bracket
- one lower engine bolt shortened and rethreaded
- two nuts for the engine bolt
- one swing arm bolt shortened and tapped
- two countersunk hex insert bolts for the swing arm bolt
- six dome head hex insert bolts for holding Hayabusa rear sets to the brackets
- one set of instructions with photos

Then it is up to the buyer to get their own Hayabusa rear sets and make up their own gear change linkage. I think the kit would work for CB750 K series as well as F's, as long as the rear brake was disc.

Photos of the parts soon.
 
Don't Bunnings do hardware? If not, there are bolt places in most areas. I used to get mine form two places in Geelong when I lived down there. What about one of the auto stores?
 
Oh you know Bunnings

I did go there and get a couple of U-Bolts. Not perfect size but that's all I could find for now.

I wish we had Bolt-Depot here, they have got it all. Have made up a list of required items from their stock catalogue, but they will not ship here...shame.
 
I lived in VIC for 15 years and Bunnings is one place I keep going back to. Not the best for anything, but they have the largest selection of most stuff.

There's a bolt place on Sydney rd in Campbellfield just south of Barry road on the southbound side - right beside a Bearing shop in a short strip. They should have any amount of cap screws etc in metric sizes. I just googled cap screws to see what came up and there are many places around town that will sell you what you need - right there in "Godzone".
 
Jobs done.

I got the adaptor brackets back from the laser cutters, who ended up fabricating each bracket from three pieces of 6mm steel and welding them together. You cannot see the welds, the job is excellent.

So I painted the plates black, mounted them up and fitted off all the 'busa rearset gear.

Now I am getting my race headers modified to take the Lossa shorty muffler and allow the brake pedal to clear them, and then I get the pipes ceramic coated and back on the bike.

It will be good to get back on the road for summer on the 750, and then I can concentrate on the 450 in bits in the shed...
 
Looks like a factory finish there mate, I'm jealous.....

Your pegs are mounted fairly low so I'd say you are pretty long legged.

I'm currently getting a mate, who has a laser cutter, to make me some plates.

You should probably start a new post on the SOHC 4 forums and see how much interest you get.
 
seven 54,
how do you plan to operate the rear drum brake ?
the set up someone else suggested is for a rear disc brake...................joe@ vcycle
 
That's easy,

Just take off the brake lever and attach a new small lever (you can get these at Fast from the Past) onto the actuating rod. Connect a linkage rod from the brake lever to the rearset lever and you're done.

Cheers
 
interesting....or you could cut the stock one and add a small arm and have one for pennies instead of $40 dollars....
my opinion is invest in an inexpensive welder(a good 110 will work for most motorcycle needs-ck craigs list) and it will open up the opportunity of fabricating and designing your own and not being at the mercy of someone elses parts...
the great thing is your figuring out a problem and doing design work instead of building a kit bike from everyone elses parts..
