Could be old megacycle. 250-60 grind, 36t sprocket, etc. Might give them a call, it might be a grind they don't do anymore.

I never looked very deep at it. Back then I had found Mrriggs post about making his own slave cylinder and went that way.

This one on amazon looks identical. I remember people doing it that way 5 or 6 years ago, then it just kind of stopped being talked...

It's not much of an update, but I vapor blasted the rear hub to get ready for polishing. I find it easier to start with an even finish.

If anyone is near OKC here's a link to the $500 r75/5. https://www.facebook.com/share/163AJGoLRv/

There's an R75/7 for sale near me for $500. Supposedly not running due to ignition timing. It's tempting, but I have too many projects...

No big discounts around me. They've got $500-1000 off msrp of the 24 models and nothing off the 25 models. I'm sure they'll make up...

Yep, have a cheap amazon one on my mill. Works fine, lets you adjust speed too. Better ones will have a heat sink so you can power...

Forks are ready for some smoothing. Internally lowered 2", and brake stays mounted. They will get painted or powdercoated black.

Yeah, I'm not very worried about it. I've seen it on link bars for suspension, steering linkage, and frames. It's less likely to...

For those wondering what I would do with the bit of frame I had to cut out, here is your answer. I cut down the piece I removed to fit...

Yep, I would recommend the HF vulcan hood, the 10.1sq/in one, way before the yeswelder.

I did feel slightly better after throwing the hood. Then promptly got the HF vulcan hood back out. Yeah it's got the standard green...

Ok, so I can not recommend the yeswelder true color auto darkening hoods. I've had one for less than a year, and at first I thought it...

Depending on how complicated the part is they have a thing so you can design it on their site. I've had a few trigger wheels cut by...

Front mounts ready for clean up.

Thanks, wanting to make my own parts is actually what got me into machining. I'm lucky that I've been able to get my own machines.

It might help. It could also help to clamp the leg in V-blocks while welding and cooling. I'll plate it in. It'll be after I...

Sounds like worn drive dogs and probably a failing shift fork. Mine did it where you'd take off and it would jump out of gear then pop...

Just checked the test leg with the bore gauge. It did surprisingly well. Less than .0005" from the top to a little below the weld...

Lol, no. There's surprisingly little info on venting the conical hub. I can find pictures, but no posts where someone showed the hub...

Can't leave the rear hub stock.

I'll probably be getting some parts from cycle x. It's definitely getting new tensioners and chains. Haven't decided on a simple over...

Shaving forks is kind of a pain. Most of them aren't actually round to start with. I'm working on a set of cbr600 fork sliders right...

Here's why I clearanced the lower tube. Once it's plated in it'll still be close, but solid mounts mean it'll be fine.

Plate it in. I actually put it there. Without it the motor would have to sit an inch or so higher.

Thanks, depending on how the bike sits the forks might end up lowered internally a little.

My measurements all work together. Triples fitthe frame.

I've got a 30l unit, it's not vevor, but probably came out of the same factory. I've had it about 5 years so far. I've been using...

Which mikuni flatslides? The linked style with accelerator pump, or the non-linked direct pull style? I have the linked RS style...

Good idea. I'm used to cerakote being colors, I hadn't realized they sell a clear specifically for polished aluminum now.

Yeah, the center is how it came out of the blaster. I'm thinking of leaving it because it'll be a right pain to clean once the wheel is...

Making some progress on the front brake. The whole thing looked like the center initially. I vapor blasted it to remove all leftover...

Yep, that's my concern too. But thankfully ebay makes it easy to buy cheap damaged parts to experiment on. I figure a $30 lower will...

I bought a damaged lower off ebay cheap, I'm going to see if welding a tab on is feasible. I know people have welded caliper mounts to...

Thanks. I'm going to shave the brake mounts off the forks before the bike is done. That'll help clean up the look a bit more...

Pretty much the same for me. I had wanted a mill and lathe for years, because there were things I wanted that couldn't be bought...

Thanks, being a machinist has it's advantages. They have the norton 2 1/4 offset, and the spacing was set to fit the hub with no spacers.

It's always nice when parts play together the way you wanted. Cbr600f4i forks, custom triples, stem and axle all to work with the gt750...

I've had good luck with the vulcan protig. But I know it has a lower duty cycle than the big name welders.

It's actually plugged into a surge protector, so 10a tops. No issues welding up to 100a. I got the protig because it was ac/dc. I...

Any tig machine can stick. Just like you can tig with a stick machine. It's just a matter of leads and gas flow. I have a harbor...

Front axle and nut are basically finished. This will let me run the gt750 wheel with forks designed for a 20mm axle. All that's left...

Once bearings get here and I do some finish work the triples will be done.

Squaring a vise up is pretty fast, same as dialing in a 4 jaw. Tramming the head takes a bit longer. To drill and tap the pinch...

Yeah, there's a lot of different tricks out there. Some of the screws on the cb750 engine were pretty bad.

Manual mills are really flexible. I've done similar to drill new holes in a mount stand. It was actually tall enough to sit on the...

I've got a m12 impact. Very useful, but when I'm dealing with already half stripped stuff I prefer the control of the manual impact...

I've got a rotary table and manual indexer for the mill. Both useful for doing hole patterns. But long parts can be a real hassle on...

It doesn't have a quick change, it's open the side and read the chart to see what gears go where. I had to buy a few extra gears and a...
