Like the bit about "if fuel ever goes over a buck a gallon".....

Good article telling lots about the basic motor development from 125 etc.

You still want me to bring along my CB500 cylinder head, it's nice and clean. Just putting the finishing touches to my CB1300, still a days work to do but it will be ready for the 1st. I'll see you all there, don't think I'll bring the wife as I doubt she'll enjoy it.

Yep bring the head. Be good to see you, I know you were disappointed  last year not to make  it.

Project Board / Re: Newbie '78 CB750 K8 (US) Cafe Build
« on: May 02, 2018, 07:43:18 AM »
No struggling with leg atrength and 750 too much for me (as is my 400 now to be honest)

As I say scale in my picture isn't correct, just a cut, paste and stretch job of various pictures. If you like the idea do some research on internet on tank stretching DME did. Think it was on sister .net site. However stock CX tank could work nicely anyway. One thing you need to look at is mounting for final visual look. CX tank sits at a bit of an angle towards headatock on original bike.

Hope that helps.

What about a 400 four tank they fit straight on or cx 500 they look good on the 750

I have looked at the 400f tank, but it has a slightly sharper angle than the CB750f. The CX500 one does look pretty cool, though. I'll have a play around on Photoshop later and see what I think!
This may be of use from when I was playing with ideas for a similar project. Don't laugh guys very rough ideas and scale not really right etc. I was toying with the idea of welding 2 tanks together per a rather tasty black cafe built by a member on here ( think he was Swedish user name DME?).

What are you on about James? Cable tie  ???

How to mount motorcycle tire with zipties: http://youtu.be/S6WPzRRJLpA

Probably this above as a method.

Just a small point about using washing up liquid,  it contains salts for cleaning usually which isn't in commercial tire products and may promote corrosion on old chrome rims or bare alloy.  A ready alternative could be car shampoo.
Looked at that and I don't have enough tattoos to do it!
