Thanks Mike. Paint is an Acura nsx color. Imora Orange I think. Zero, thanks, are you talking about the 750 tank or the cowl? for the fuel tank I had to cut oem mounts off the frame and weld some new mounts in New locations. Rear mount is in oem location, just had to bend it a little.

Brassneck, thanks and yes. Tail cowl is cut from original tank. Seat pan is wood actually (easier to mold and will take staples). Shaped some foam and wrapped it up.

My 76 cafe.

It appears you don't have enough leverage on your shock (mounted too far from swingarm pivot). But I am sure you have figured in the weight of the bike it came from and what kind of moment was on it. My brother in law had issues doing this same set up on his cb550-4. Took a while to get the...

just did that what I noticed is no fuel leaks when I pull the fuel lines off but if I lay my finger against the nipple fuel runs right out over my finger. almost as if the vacuum pump is an air vacuum stop and doesn't actually seal the fuel off. I thought it sealed it off when open to atmosphere...

brassneck, it is on a 76 650. Cone filters - hence no vacuum lines. It is almost as if there is pressure in the lines between the petcocks and carbs that builds after the bike sets for a while and over powers the float needles. what doesn't make sense is last night I drained the left side bowl...

I have an xs 750 tank with original vacuum petcocks. I run them in the pri position when running and in the on position to turn them off. After a ride I will park the bike, turn the fuel off and then a few hours later fuel is leaking out the overflows and continues to bubble out for the next...

Right side. That's the side my rotor is on.

I bought a $35 master cylinder on eBay and an 02 r6 caliper for $20. Had to file the caliper a little on the inside to fit the factory rotor and had to grind the backside of the caliper a little to clear the spokes. Made a bracket template and had someone mill it out of 1/2" aluminum (Brother...

Update. I bought a used jug from a local salvage yard. I don't know what year it is from but it is the other style (no radius in flange). One sleeve was bad one good. I decided to use the good one in mine. Once both were removed I found that the flange thickness is different as well as the...

my bores are still very true and have little sign of wear. same with pistons. any problem with just replacing the one sleeve and using stock pistons with new rings? bores measure 75.00 - 75.02 btw.

took my engine out to fix a left cylinder smoking/ oil consumption issue. Thought it was valve seals or rings. had good compression though. found no smoking gun until I Was about to put it back together and noticed a crack in the left cylinder sleeve. starts at the top and goes about half way...

Filters are pleated with a foam "sock". Had to lower / sync my floats a little. Other than that no tuning issues. I am impressed with the power it has. A buddy's cb 550/4 and my brothers cx 500 can't hang with it. Just curious what will the fork brace do for me. I have only put about 200 miles...
