CB750 progress

This thing is starting to look like a motorcycle. Honestly, it isn't my A.D.D. this time. I just can't find the steel to get my frame done so I moved on to a new project. I took a day off of work to get some progress done on the CB750. No Kids, No Wife, just me and the garage. It was a very stress freee relaxing day. Even had a couple friend stop by on their nice "AMERICAN" bikes... So I got my handle bars welded up, made a tab to mount the head light and hand filed my top triple tree.

Lake Ann Run

Went for a scoot with Kent and Kara's crew today. Felt good to get some miles in.

YUM YUM

Devoted the better part of a day to it but the pillion is mostly done. Need to get the dye back from Jer and then pick out some mounting hardware. Fun times await!

Passenger pegs

Modified the stock pegs to make things work. Had my feet up on them for all of a minute. They felt fine but should have a longer testing.

New bars errr well maybe old but they are new to me.

So I picked up some old bars at a swap meet. Not sure what they are off of. There is a little pitting so I can tell they are a few years old but not ancient. They look like a taller and slightly wider version of the buckhorn bars you would find on a Sporty Hugger. So I chopped them up. Took out about 4 inches out of the center and now I am making them fit 7/8" risers. I couldn't find a better way to d

o it but since the 7/8 bar was fairly thick I took it to a grinder and made it a little thinnner on each end acting as a slug. This should make for a nice strong set of bars and give me more surface for welding.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness or something like that.

So every piece that goes into the parts cleaner comes out getting a bath and a blow dry. And snugly fit into a big ziplock bag ready for reassemly.

Friday night shenanegans

Went out to Bullwinkles to see my buddy's band Morosity. Good times were had by almost all of us. Jagermeister has ruined more than one weekend for me but this time it was Pop's turn to jump on that grenade.
