My rockabilly brat build

[occam22]

it took longer to make this crate than it did to pull the engine out. I used the lean over method for engine removal.

Now to starting rewiring and to cut the seat rails so that I can lower them!

While Hugh is doing his thing on my engine... I got restless and bought another project.

Stripped it down a bit and painted the motor

Undecided on reusing the factory cowl. I got a different tank and different rear end with it. Im not a fan of boxy.

Minor changes to the look but many changes made to the operation. New gauge, new brakes, new gaskets, some other odds and ends.

moving right along

the exhaust isnt doing it for me... I think I need something bigger.. more aggressive. Thoughts?

What did the old school job cost you ?

 

[occam22]

eeesh. hard to remember since I have so many things going. He has standard pricing for this stuff. I think it was $200 plus some change. I added a couple of upgrades that pushed up the price. He will let you know if you email him. There are cheaper places for sure. But Id venture to say there arent better places. He really does a lot of little things people dont think about... i.e. all the plastic screws were upgraded to brass. Plus his customer service is stellar. Ive never had someone respond to my questions like him. He is Johnny on the spot with return emails for sure!

The motor... she lives! HHB rephased goodness

Trial fitting of CBR front end with spoke wheel. Finally motivated for the frame cutting to drop the seat rail since the motor is back in my hands.

How do the cherry bombs sound on your bike?

 

[occam22]

I havnt heard them running since the rephase but they used to sound something like this. I really liked it.

Why dont you learn the ins and outs of the whole thing.

I dont see where I couldnt keep it running? Its run fine from day one. various mods were for fun and improvement. I havnt heard it run with the cherry bombs on it because I havnt finished the frame work yet to reinstall it.

As far as learning the ins an outs... its a process dont ya think? Gotta start some where. We all have strengths. I'll let someone else do the stuff I dont want to.
