Riser Clamps for the CB 750

Did a little cutting and grinding to make some top clamps for the CB last night.

Below: this is basically what I ended up with.  Need to do a little more smoothing, but nothing serious.

Below: The hunk of junk I started with.  I'm not using the fuse panel or ignition hole so I just decided to cut it all off and save some money.

Below: The tools to get started.  Grinder/ Cutoff wheel, a sawzall, gloves, and beer.

FML

Sick of working on Carbs.  7 Carbs to rebuild / clean.

Bottom 2 for the Yamaha.  Finished last night.  Will check valve clearances and reinstall carbs tonight.  Second time taking these off in two days. 

One for lil man's  110cc four wheeler.  Started & Finished on Sunday.  Runs better than when we bought it.

And below the Big 4 Bastard Rack of CB Carbs.  2 are cleaned.  Finally got the screws I needed to put them back together yesterday.  Will finish this little project sometime in the next couple days depending on if I can get the Yamaha running.  If it runs tonight, I might just leave and not show back up for a couple days.



I like wrenching on the bikes but I like RIDING them A WHOLE LOT MORE.  Not having a running bike is starting to get irritating.  So is coming home and working in this damn shed from the time I get home until late night and not having a running bike.  FML. 

The upside is atleast my lil guy still thinks I can fix anything because I got his four wheeler running and he's tearing up the trails around the house again while I wrench away.  I guess as long as I'm still a hero in my 4 year old's eyes, life ain't so bad.

Although, if something with two wheels and motor is not running real soon at my house, somebody's E-Bay special Dyna may be getting a Pay Pal deposit.  Just Sayin'. 

Picture Me Rollin'

I wasn't kidding when I said I was going to get on it and pretend to ride it.  Vroooommm......Vrooooommmm.....  Just trying to get an idea of the direction I wanna go with the fender and tank.  I'm digging the stance so far though.

11.5 inch shocks from CycleX.  The metal center part has to come out of the rubber bushing to get them on.  Got the throttle housing in as well.  Shipping was real fast too. 

She's Got a Heart Again

The ol' gal has a heart again.  Been a little slack on this project for about two weeks but I have every evening this week free so some progress will definately be happening.  Shocks, bars, and throttle housing will arrive tomorrow.  Then I can roll it around and make engine noises with my mouth. Vroooommm.....Vrooooommmm......Crackers!
