The tail peice is actually the stock unit. I thinned the seat out by pulling out all of the foam, almost. I also cut the front and rear of the seat off. I then took the stock cowl and cut off the sides and bolted it directly to the modified seat. It now comes off as one unit. I also bought some allen head bolts and washers and bolted a peice of plastic in the mouth of the cowl where the thick seat used to butt up to it. Sort of a custom solo seat.

As far as a mono shock goes, that would be a bit over my head with all the suspension geometry and fabricating and welding. Also, I think the dual shocks look bad ass!!!

that is one fucking angry looking bike. love it!!

Thanx man. Sort of a reflection of my obsessive compulsive, angry, never satisfied, fucked up persaonality. :rock::nuts::fu::rock::nuts::nuts::nuts:

Fookin A, Boss! I like it!

Got a set of CB1000C cams. Those are going in. May also go with a 836 weisco kit. Figure almost 30 thousand miles, if your going to do a top end, may as well punch it out a little.:rock:

We'll see :thumbsup:

Cool. Just make sure you get some more shims for the valves. You will need them. Also check the valves while your in there. I just got a set of 900f cams for mine. That and alot of other parts. So i will be back to work on mine agian soon.

Your bike is looking good man. Keep it up

 

[Pugeyed]

My F2 front wheel came in the other day. Also landed a 94 F2 front fender for $10.00 on fleabay. Waiting for new bearings and for the machine shop to make my new center sleeve and right side spacer. Couldnt help though, had to hang it on there just to take a look see. Will post some full bike pics once it is permanently mounted.

Awesome! My buddy had a CB750 that we painted black and put drag bars on. He didn't want to sink any more money into it so it's still kinda factory gay. I'm going to send him pics of yours for inspiration.

 

[RatFighter]

I gotta admit when you first joined up and chopped the back end of that 750 off I was a little curious what direction you were going with it, the more time that passes and the more updates that show up on this thread, the more impressed I am by what your doing!

Sure I come off as an asshole at times, and sure, my opinion may not matter to most, but I know what I like and I know what works well, and what your building there fits both categories so well it's unbelievable. Bravo, that 750 is turning out to be one outstanding machine!


You've peaked my interest, can't wait for another update.

Thanx for all the compliments.First bike I ever modded and really didnt know what I was doing and had no plan. After hanging around here and on other sites I saw a bunch of cool ideas and and started to experiment with different things. It all started to come together nicely and improved about 1000%.

Just bolted up a very cool mod tonight but I think my fuckin camera may be broken. Will dick around with it and try to get some pics up tonight. :shocker:

 

[ctluba]

Wife dropped the fuckin camera and fucked it all up, sorry for the shitty image. Still up in the air on this one, although it is growin on me. Input please.:shocker: And, yea, yea, the turn signals will be changed out.

Man the camera is fucked. Not only all the lines, but at the bottom of the light assembly and on the horn assembly it looks all brown, that is flat black.

 

[trojan]

Great loking bike!! Love flat balck paint and seat unit looks badass. Try cutting down the front fender. It looks a little to big for my taste...and cover the seat with some new leather/vinil or what the fuck thea are using to for those things
Love mad max style!!!

 

[chance]

lookin good!

 

[ctluba]

Got the gixxer headlamps, front fender and CBR front wheel all mounted up. Comments welcome. I will be in the garage staring at it for the rest of the night.

 

[John Prophet]

It realy does look good!
To me, those forks just look tiny
To the best of my knowledge you just need to figure out what other models of bikes has the same stem size as yours and then find which one has USD's and your set.
And also just run a single speedo up front the rest of the bike looks lean and VERY fucking mean, aside from the dashpanel from a 1978 cadilac you got up there

 

[RatFighter]

:shocker:


I love it, the low slung front end matched to the long muscular swinger/wheel/tail combo out back with the GSXR lights and 80's style dash. It looks borderline serial killer. If a bike ever looked "Evil" I would have to say your CB is there 110%.



Very nice, I think whatever route you keep taking this bike is the right way to go.

Thanx for the comps!!!!!!!!!!

Now to pull the motor out and pump it up so she can walk the walk, not just talk the talk!!!!!!!!!

CB1000 cams, valve job, 836 big bore kit.:rock::rock::rock::rock:

 

[ctluba]

Got a new camera so I figured I would post some ouitside / daylight photos of the current set up before I pull the motor.

 

[ctluba]

The real winter project starts. That was tuff pullin that motor!!

 

[cerberusrex25]

All bolted up. Feedback??????????

HAWTNESSS, great work on minimizing your tail section.

Really? I hear this alot, but the only bitch of a time I've ever had removing an engine was with a Toyota MR2 (yes, a car) because it comes out of the bottom of the damn thing.


With bikes, I usually get a helping hand and when the engine is ready to drop I just lean the bike over on the right side with some wood/foam layed down and the engine just falls right out (not literally!). I do the same thing with getting it back in. Of course, disconnecting the suspension helps so your only moving around a bare frame rather than a whole engine or roller.


Glad your on your way to glory dude, can't wait to hear how it rev's with the new cams! :rock:
