I don't ever post but I have to say Damn that was a steal anyways what does the wiring harness look like ? My cb400t seemed to just snap together other then the turn signals

I would imagin that all the tanks from that year and style of frame would fit right ? The one on there now is rusted and dented to hell like some one took a hammer to it

So there is a fair amount of rust on the spokes and scrubbing with wd40 and steal wool is not working to well would it be bad to paint over ?

i think that i will lower it after i get the new tires and rims painted if needed i also did not think that the bike would weigh it down too. but i am only 117 pounds so i don't know how much that will make a difference :D Thank you for all the reply's i will only lower it about an inch i think

Btw the handle bar is a broom handle but I like how low this bike is

Well the bike is being put together right so there is not a good view but I measured out the hight and it was 3 inches lower to get it to the spot I want

Well i want to lower my front forks but i am not sure how much i can. i have a 78 hawk and it feels like its way to high in the front and i want to lower it to a more aggressive looking stance but how much can i lower it before its usless ?

I did bot use primer and I am not sure why either I did on the back swing arm and that came out nice so that's probably a good reason

Thank you I did use degreaser then paint remover then mineral spirits to further clean that was only my first coat the second is looking better

Not that came in contact with it no but if your asking if I have some then yes

So I decided to spray paint my bike and I striped it of all the paint and sanded smooth and cleened it with mineral spirits and I get this blotchy texture as seen in the picture ? I have no idea what I am doing wrong it's vht frame paint.it's supposed to be flat black
