I would imagine the ONLY reason that is worth that much is that #1 its in great condition... and from what I read its a "rare" original honda built racer... |

Because half the parts are made of un-obtanium. Factory alloy tank? Sandcast carbs? Hard to get that stuff. Most of the bodywork is pretty simple to find though, airtech makes it.

Rearsets started

Started my rearsets today. Cut from 1/4" 4042 Aluminum plate sanded and filed into shape. I wish I had a mill. Also fixed up the brake arm and pivot.

Looks great. One question though: the tab for the footpeg, is that large hole causing a problem? What kind of finish will you go for with the rearset, or will you keep it as is?

It looks like you and Truckinduc have something in common. Nice fabrication job on the rearsets.

Thanks surfer. So I finished the other side, now I need to make a shift linkage assembly from scratch. Woo hoo, then on to a tank seat and cowl. Also I will be fabing up the inside assembly to hold all the electrical bits under the seat.

Nice work, somebody has talent!

Nice man! Kick starter is all clear after all?

headlight is mounted, but the gauge looks funny so I will need to make a new bracket that holds it lower. Ignore the long clutch cable it won't stay.

here we go again, so I took this mess of electrical...
Attachment 28692 tore it all off of the bracket it was on until it was individual components then I made a tray... Attachment 28693 Attachment 28694 Attachment 28695 made some mounts attached them to the aluminum basin and finished like this. Attachment 28696 then the seat pan will cover it all up. What do you think? |
I'd say you sorted that electrical nicely!
|
thanks I wanted to leave a little room for things like accessory relays among other things. Next on the electrical checklist is finding space for a battery.
|
yep, I was wondering where that battery was hiding:)
|
Need advice.

Alright so opinions would be nice on this, I could go either way.
Here is the gauge now. Attachment 28674 I can print a new face on sticker paper so I have two options, on white sticker or on clear. This is the gauge without a face so I would make a plexi face and put the clear sticker with numbers on it. So imagine this photo with numbers and that would be what you would get. Attachment 28675 Or same thing but with a white backround like this Attachment 28676 Please help me decide thanks. |
I like the white...nice work!

Nice, here is a pic of mine (a sohc cb650 cam will drop right in and CB 750 carbs work well - I have a lot of engine mods all for not a lot of money - send me a PM if you are interested):

Well, since it's a kick start, you don't need a big battery to start the engine... Why not use Li-ion cells like in a RC car and make a flat battery pack and stick it under that tray... Nice and hidden, nobody will figure it out...;) Needs a charging circuit for that though, so you keep spikes and such of the battery... Nothing complicated...

Great stuff, Jim! I am very interested in restoration. Especially with breeds like the Superhawk. Huge horsepower, huge reliability, stylist look.
I've been looking around in the CB series and I watch what Capt Chaos is doing. He's had a good one off this year. Maybe stripping a ST1100 or 13 is the project for me. There's so many platforms. Excellent job on yours. Looks like you park with some sporty company. |
