Thanks,

Taken last month.

A deep 10mm socket welded into an old box end wrench is perfect for putting a screwdriver through to
hold the clutch adjuster screw on a 900 or 750 while tightening the locknut. Honda most likely ...

In conversation with a friend at a local vintage bike shop yesterday I was told that Craig Ellis has closed
the doors on PaintWorks and is no longer taking outside jobs. Apparently he was offered a ...

I'm glad that you guys like my 900. When I saw the graphics kit in black & white without all the white field
I immediately thought of that Kia Burnished Copper as a base color. Craig at Pain ...

As far as I know it was only available on the 1982 GL1100 Goldwing & the size is 18 x 2.50

If anyone is interested I have one of those 18" wheels in good clean condition with axle, speedo drive and brake rotors.
$100.00 plus shipping. PM me if interested.

I’m not sure if this has been possible before but here goes!

Am I overthinking this? When I read your line, especially the "here goes" part,
I'm wondering if you want to do a conversi ...

Glad you like it! The chain guard is from a Asian market cb400SF (Super Four) I saw it on a build here that I think belonged to Peter (pontiacstogo)
He used the swingarm and the chainguard. I foun ...

Walter- I can definitely relate! What were we talking about again??? LOL

here you go- Should have waited for a sunny day!
Thanks again to Alt1 -rider pegs, Luckysox- rear pegs, SteveG and Grumpy32- plates to cut up.

Here they are PC'd and installed. In case anyone's curious the bolts just below the rear footpegs are bungee points for my tailbag.
There 2 matching ones at the rear of the grab rails. I like the wa ...

Very nice! Curious what the weight savings is?

Steve

I have no idea. I did it purely for aesthetics.
And like nathanhouse said - the price was right.
Can't wait to see them on the bike.

I've been wanting to do this for a while now- giving stock 900/750 plates the lattice treatment.
After drill press, jigsaw, files, die grinder, sandpaper and lots of elbow grease followed by
media ...

Thanks guys- got it bookmarked now Smile

Where do I find Peter's fuse block upgrades?

Ran across this today- thought I'd share it. http://racingcafe.blogspot.com/2021/12/vintage-brochures-honda-cb-cbx-cx-range.html

If this use of tank & tail doesn't qualify as sacrilege i don't know what does...

Thank you all for the suggestions. Does anyone find that the bags get in your way?

I've used a variety of strap-style bags over the years (never crazy heavily loaded) and have yet to see damage

Hi- I have the Cortech Super 2.0 Low Profile Strap Tankbag. It expands from 5 to 10 liters and is available w/strap or magnetic mount.
I've always preferred the strap. I attached the rear strap conn ...

Thanks for the help guys- one more question- anyone have experience with petcocks from
Oldbikebarn ?

So general fitment-wise the tanks are the same as far as frame mounting,side cover mounting etc ?
I can get whichever petcock it needs...

I can't access that link- are the petcocks not interchangeable?

I'm assuming there are no differences- mounting-wise between a 750 tank and a 900 tank.
The 750 tank is one that had the screwed-on side emblems. Is that the only difference?

What has worked well for me is establishing the cut line on the underside of the fender and then scoring the line repeatedly with a utility knife, changing blade as necessary to keep a sharp edge,unti ...

I used the 10 mm micro spools from luckybike.com on my 900f restomod project (stock swingarm)
I like the extra beef of the 10mm bolt. As far as the rear lift, I have a Pitbull forward handle lift ...

Thanks Tom- I think the long build time was a good thing in that much time was spent considering our options to get the style and functions we were after.
The bike basically evolved as we went al ...

We entered it in the Rockerbox Show at Road America in 2017 and came home with Best Cafe Racer AND Peoples Choice awards. But the best rewards we get are all the positive comments we get from people. ...

Also concerning the dual disc conversion - counterboring the bolt holes on the rotor centers allows you to use the bolts from a single-disc wheel
(this hub is from a earlier K model) The bike is a & ...

Nice to hear all the kind words- The wheels are Sun rims 4.25 x 18 rear and 2.15 x 18 front.
Hubs are stock with lots of "visual upgrade"
Tires are Continental ContiGos 150/70 rear and ...
