Ive been a member here for some time, browsing for technical advice when needed, lurking quietly. I thought I'd post a pic of my bike as sort of a thank you for the info I quietly took from this site. Some 5ish years ago, one of my very best friends found a very neglected and abused 81 cb750k on craigslist. He managed to get it for $250, and I helped him get it home. He tinkered with it a while, bought a few things now and then but eventually progress came to a halt. Last June, he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and a very aggressive type at that. They said 6-18mos. max. He gave me this bike still pretty stock and partially disassembled, and another bike. He said "If it's ever gonna go down the road again, I trust you will get it back out there". Well, he is fighting the good fight and has taken several 1000+ mile motorcycle trips over the past year and is doing *great* in his battle through chemo. I did my part and got the bike back on the road. Questions, comments welcome. And thanks again for all the help along the way.

Tell your buddy to keep fighting and riding. I will say a prayer on this end. On another note do you have any closeups of how you did the side covers. I am getting ready to do mine and need some insparation
 
Awesome! I was just considering doing up a swingarm in silver to contrast against the candy red frame on my DOHC build. I wish your buddy the best of luck.
