This is the most recent version. New front tire coming soon, also swapping for a dedicated GPS speedometer and dropping the little windscreen and RAM mount. Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions. Parting shots: 1) YES I KNOW MY AMAZON SHOCKS ARE TRASH. It’s not a track...

Done. YOU CAN SEE HERE MY GRAVE MISTAKE!! This upcoming week I’m swapping the 120/90-17 for a 120/70-17 which will be 4% smaller than the rear in diameter and ~24% narrower. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is me “can’t leave good enough alone” It turns out the Gen 2 Suzuki sv650 has the same 20mm diameter rear axle and the rim matches my gsxr front rim. [emoji848] The Gen 1 sv650 has a 17mm axle mounted rear brake caliper and bracket- but that’s just one pass with a 20mm bit on the drill...

The little dot LEDs got replaced with an actual LED bar that works as both a tail and brake light. The boy and I out being awesome together. This night I learned that my low idle of 1200 wasn’t enough to keep the lights on. I had to bump it up to get better charging. If you look close at...

I consider this a smashing success. The improvement is crazy- with some reduced steering angle due to the 30mm offset versus the 65(ish)mm offset of the original triples. I did make one mistake here that you’ll notice later- I sized the front tire at 120/90-17 to closely match the 130 rear tire...

This is where I start to get a little greedy. I convinced this guy to sell me the entire front end for $200. The donor is a 2002 GSXR1000 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hadn’t lived here very long and wanted to show off my project so I signed up for the distinguished gentleman ride. It was an hour commute each way SCREAMING at 7,000rpm so I did the dad move and added a screen. Couple small notes: back brake caliper is rebuilt and reinstalled, and I have an...

This was SUPPOSED to be my first trip outside the neighborhood, and technically it was BUT I had a problem. The entire time I was testing and tuning in the garage I was on a battery tender. As soon and I left the house and went 1/4 mile down the road- voltage shit the bed and it died. After an...

At this point I’m feeling pretty damn good. Tires are new, oil tank is in and not leaking, I nabbed oversize front calipers from a CB900F on marketplace, and to save cash I just reinstalled the OEM gauges but recessed them down towards the headlight by about two inches. Sent from my iPhone...

In comes the mikuni 34s. I’m very happy with these carbs and this decision. They’re very easy to tune and the customer support is awesome. Murray tunes this on a pristine motor with ethanol free fuel- my motor is tired and running on the ghost of days past. Ultimately, I went +1 size on the idle...

Somehow I missed a photo for this one. The OEM peg brackets bend up to the peg mount. I’m 6’3” and found the leg space to be incredibly cramped. I need up chopping, flipping, and rewelding them 180* from stock for comfort. I also notched the brack pedal and shaped it with a more acute angle to...

This was a tough time- a move across the country. At this point I had a solid roller. Still not fully running, but registered/insured with fresh tires. Still missing brakes and oil tank amount about a thousand small items. There are a few parts that I splurged on, the first is a cognito moto...

This is rolling out of the garage in all its glory- flat tires, LED headlight, banana seat, and too-short Amazon rear shocks. Also still missing all the brake calipers which makes it a beast on a sloped driveway. I wanted to minimize the buttons on the bars and I had four great bolts to use...

At this stage I thought the wiring was pretty therapeutic. It’s like a sudoku puzzle, every time I make a work connect that’s one less wire to get wrong in the future haha this was a bit tedious but self explanatory. I went with a lithium compatible R/R. For the seat I kinda worked backwards. I...

Like most people, my initial inspiration was the V1 Mile Zero Racer popular on instagram. I liked that my bike had the same tank, and felt confident I could make a “poor man’s version” using mostly Amazon and Facebook marketplace. The initial assessment was pretty solid. The motor had fresh...

I’m starting this thread as a repository for my CB750F cafe/brat bike build. If you’re a CB purist and you think the stock SOHC is the sexiest thing in existence, please just keep scrolling. I know not everyone appreciates a chop job but this is my thread and my bike. The bike was found on...
