Schooter's CB 750 Cheesy wanna-b build!

nothing wrong with taking the engine out and spraying it with bbq paint. Ill never understand why everyones opposed to it

 

all my tractors get a coat of stove-black on the exposed exhaust once a year. works pretty well for me!

 

i'm not sure if i just posted something or not but if so, disregard

 

im afraid too...
and im ground, if my dad sees me get near it... he warns me
drag bars came in today, look good, but i cant put them on

 

time for you sister to start doing the work on the bike for you. she will probably want money though.

 

ahahaha! eh..
i did i finger test, and they all had pressure, i also checked the plugs for spark, its there, so we're good to go

 

Looking Good Schooter ! Liking that paint job! :wink: Don't be afraid to jump right in with both feet.....It's the best way to learn, and build confidence. Along with the manual, you should be able to accomplish most of the work on your own. Keep up the good work, and look forward to following your build.

Cheesy!

 

Well, i got the drag bars on, the grips, and messed with the electronics (for the better i hope)
Heres what it looks like, i put the tank on to see handle bar clearences.... will it be ok if it doesnt go all the way? more like 80% of the way? ill have to test drive it..i also removed the tach and the oil, neutral, etc lights
only had to cut the wires to the lights... couldnt figure out how to remove them..





gimmie your thoughts on the seat, its a sportster seat (gasp) sorry for the harley parts..

 

It probably won't make a difference riding.
First time you're walking it out of parking space and crank the bars into the tank, with the new paint job it will make a difference.

 

ya.... i know, luckily its the plastic bits that do that.... was thinking of putting some how glue on the corner to soften it up or soemthing

got lots o'
updates, just havent taken pictures yet..

 

Ok heres an update.. guy is refunding the money form the carbs i bought, my old ones were better.....
my 4-1 exhaust is being delayed because he cant find a box, and slapping on a sticker would cost 140 to ship via ups... i paid 25 for shipping...
umm should be getting my bullet taillights tomorrow...
ok, painted the engine... the front fender, and the chain cover.
also, did some touch up paint to the frame with the engine paint cuz its tough stuff, sorry RickCoMatic...
I also touched up the clamps and finally painted the fuse cover without out it fish eyeing
ok pics:

 

Oh ya, i took a wire wheel to shine up the side covers, dont make fun of my tape job.. didnt figure out i could use a finger to steady my cut for the last 90 degress of the last circle

 

Just curious, whered the tach go? If you plan on running just the speedo, Id suggest that you center it. It doesnt look quite right with the one guage off to one side.

 

Au contraire Organized! The off center location looks great from my perspective. A 1 1/2 in tach would really look great next to it down low.

 

Looking good Schoot

 

ya i kinda liked it... but this is the situation
i removed the tach and dash lights, i wanted to make a mount to put it in the center, but i found out i dont have the cable to do it so i hacked up the bracket that it came on, reversd it, and got it as far to the center as would allow, not entirely sure it will work, cuz the speedo cable is kinda pinched against something... thje headlight, i forget, but its not bad, just pressure

 

i probably can mount the tach the same way, to balance it out... i may do that, not sure

 

No, stay with only one gauge...it looks much cleaner.

 

I guess I am just weird, cause I seem to do the exact opposite. Every vehicle I have ever owned has had a tach. If it didnt come with one I add one. Its always nice to know where your engine is at rpm wise. Helps with saving fuel, diagnosing problems, etc.
