Smaller disc alternative spoke wheels CB750 project ideas
Yoshi823:
I liked the flowing lines of the original downpipes and collector on the 750F2 so removed the chrome clamps and welded the number 1 and 3 pipes into the collector. I then had the lot grit blasted to remove the chrome.Kal-Gard Gun Kote was then sprayed onto the down pipes and baked in the oven at work.But the original 'Harris Racing Track Outlet Pipe' got a bit mangled when I had a off on some diesel, so I approached Johnny Campbell of what was then CG Exhausts of Burnham Road Trading Estate as it was back then in 1982 to make me an exhaust silencer. John now trades under the name of Renegade Exhausts and makes stainless steel exhausts out of a lock-up down in a garage in Chelsfied in Kent. if you want more details of what he does now then just ask as I would need to dig out his details that are around somewhere.

I'd be interested in the details of such a guy in that part of Kent.

Mr yoshi - if I may be so forward!
Do you have a piccy of the old girl from the side, showing the whole pipe as the picture posted was close to show disc etc.

Not a problem Steve. John can be contacted via email on barabbas.onyabike@virgin.net or www.barabbas.co.uk or via mobile 07946-759990. His address is r/o Lockyer Motors, Skibbs Lane, Chelsfield Village, Orpington, Kent BR6 7RH.
As I had said before, he deals mainly in stainless but i'm sure that he can fabricate just about anything nowadays. I have a very old 'Bike' magazine somewhere with one of his adverts also showing 'Cambray' wheels, which where an amalgamation of John as well as Bob Bray, who i'm told used to race sidecars. Old hands may well also recognise the name of Lockyer, of Lockyer Motors, as Dave and Peter Lockyer used to also race sidecars. Lockyers also do bike MoTs as well as car MoTs.

Not a problem Tim. I am sure that I have posted this elsewhere on this forum but here it is again. This was the last incarnation of the bike before it's unfortunate demise...
There is another guy who lives just off the South Circular/A20 but I have mislaid his details otherwise I would gladly pass on his details. His name is/was Tony Cook and he welded mild steel which was ideal if you wanted to have the part chromed afterwards, rather than being made out of stainless steel as John Campbell does.
