Re: Third Times a Charm CB175
I was telling Kop that one of the things we learned from the Bostroms on Victoria was that the movement toward the rear of the little 100mph cb175 cost us speed and we could go faster/and safer if there was no movement at the rear of the bike upsetting everything ...that and looking at Bill Baxters would championship drag bike didn't hurt
so we are considering leaving the rear pegs mounted to the swing arm. Bryan had one request...he didn't want the cable rear brake so we will need to make a floating brake plate. Also as big guys riding small bikes we like the pegs back more

Lincoln Electric sponsored a film forthcoming on this build. Y'all get the special preview via my phone camera so I am sure there will be a little red on the bike. Thanks for the kind comments. https://youtu.be/2bvLz0l6r_A

I've never been more envious of a kid in my entire life! holy crap I wish grew up learning how to make motorcycles like he is.
This has to be one of the most amazing builds I've seen in a while...whoever came up with the idea to mount the shocks like that and keep them visible is a genius in my book.
Incredible work...it's a pleasure to read this thread

Mr. Fuller caught that muse. He was teaching Zeke that you do not want negative space on in your build and that hole was a whole lotta negative space through the frame. I wonder how many have sectioned a pressed frame like that before? Lol What was interesting is that creative muse tended to show up after working 12-13 hours. It was fun watching them interact together. Zeke is head strong lol. He gets it from his mommaRoyalRider said:I've never been more envious of a kid in my entire life! holy crap I wish grew up learning how to make motorcycles like he is.

hey Jack we are back in the saddle so to speak. We have Zoöid in the shop and Zeke has started TIG welding the swing arm. We have done nothing but practice since we got back from Georgia. Zeke has taught me to TIG both aluminum and steel.Q said:
