It's finally finished
« on: April 19, 2015, 06:20:19 PM »
The 750F2 is finally finished. Just posted a few pictures for your entertainment. Thanks to everybody on here that helped out when I was giving up etc. Now its finished it seams like it was all very easy. My new 350 project will soon change that.

Yeah well done Roy, you've earned yourself a free set of 350f fork ears as a reward :-). Pm me your address details and I'll get them posted later this week. J

The paintwork was done by a guy in Holland. Apparently he does all the show winners. Don't know who he is as I bought the tank and painted parts from an unfinished project on eBay. Close up the paint looks deep enough to swim in it. I bet it wasn't a cheap job, but I got the parts at a good price so well happy.

A few more piccies from under the tank.

This was my first attempt at a Honda 4 so was a bit nervous about starting it up and finding I had oil leaks from the rubber pennies and having to remove the engine again to fix it. So decided to go down the removable frame rail route.

After checking out a few ready made options online, I decided I didn't like any of them as they all removed the triangulation between the 3 frame tubes. So I decided I could do better, and as I have a TIG welder in the workshop I made up my own.

Not ridden the bike very much yet, but it appears to have made no difference whatsoever to the handling. And after all the extra work it involved, no bloody oil leaks. ;D ;D ;D

Two of my bikes have been altered so i can access the the top end,it saves so much bother, i think that was a bad design by honda, making it so you have to take engine out to do work
