I think this would give a neat effect viewed from the top as well.

that could be a bitch to line up, but if you really take your time it should be cool.

If they met at a V it would be pretty easy... and I think that would be more visually interesting than just stripes viewed from the top.

i totally agree.

RJ you so need a WWII-looking helmet, with kill stamps on it

Yes.

Rode the bike to work this morning - it does the ton before I have to brake and merge into traffic on 66. I wont say what the F4i would do in the same stretch of on ramp :lol:

So on the Vinyl, is that something that can be done by taking measurements, or should I seek out a vinyl shop and have them do it on the bike?

i was thinking about it....if you want, i could just send them (them being a shop that normally does vinyl on contoured things like cars) a detailed rendering and they should be able to replicate it. thats pretty much what most people bring them, i would imagine.

Now with moar battery! Got the largest thing that would fit in the box, and made up some new cables.

Also have a LED brake light/license plate bracket on the way (current setup is not visible enough) and different brake pads that hopefully dont squeel.

Have some other changes in mind for later too Wink

i really hope you hang onto this thing. of all the vehicle you've owned this is really one of the coolest.

I thought about selling it, but I just cant do it. I've gotten a little attached to it... besides, the project isnt "done" yet Smile

On the plate for this year:
- Ride it
- Get a new oil tank that fits above the swingarm pivot/engine case, between the frame rails
- Ride it
- Change the triples to later CB750 pieces to get more rake, it steers like a land barge now
- Install one of these: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.benjiescaferacer.com/euroheadlightbucket.html">http://www.benjiescaferacer.com/eurohea ... ucket.html</a> and put this in it: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=4852">http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/produc ... RecID=4852</a>
- cruise for hoes

I'll be able to toss the speedo and tach cables this way and clean up the front end a little.

At some point in the distant future I'd like to pull the motor and do some headwork, a cam and big bore pistons. No real plans for that because the motor in it runs pretty good and I think it was rebuilt (but still stock) at some point before, its not leaking from the head/head gasket.

You forgot "take pictures of hot chick draped all over it."
Oh wait, if that's on there the project will never get done.

.RJ · 03-31-2009, 08:43 AM

I knew I forgot something.

God... after seeing this bike in person at the show I am in love with it even more.. I'm such a sucker for the ol' skool cafe bikes..

.RJ · 11-21-2011, 07:13 PM

I cant believe I've had this bike over 4 years....

Now that I've moved and dont have a garage I'll be putting it up for sale and hopefully replacing it with something a little newer that I dont mind parking outside under a cover. I've been getting a bunch of little projects finished up and its back on the road after a long hiatus and I've been riding it some - I was hoping to have this stuff done in July, but as always there were setbacks... oh well. I've had a lot of fun building and riding it, and I've already got plenty of ideas for the next project. Once I build a deck and a shed on the back of my house I'll have some covered 'storage' and I can get back on a moto project. It will likely be a Honda CB350, if I dont get distracted by a Yamaha RD400... and I'll certainly build another 750 down the road, already have ideas for that too.

That is beautiful. That is all.

BLAIR · 11-21-2011, 07:38 PM

Don't take a penny less than 5k for that bike. I've been watching the market of these for months now and 5k, possibly more is totally realistic! Man I still love this bike!

eBay or submit it to throttle yard! Seems like a bike they would love to feature!

BLINGMW · 11-21-2011, 08:03 PM

killer pics :thumbup:

WRXtranceformed · 11-21-2011, 08:07 PM

That is a sweet ass bike! Can't wait to see what the next project looks like!

.RJ · 11-21-2011, 08:53 PM

Looks like a 3 bedroom townhouse :lol:

For throttle yard, I know a guy that does some writing for Bring a Trailer, so that shouldnt be a problem.
