1975 CB750 P2 Police Bike
JamesH:
Here’s the latest instalment…
Rear end is pretty much finished - I’ll probably need to sort a chain with an extra link (as it’s running a 48T rear sprocket), or I may just go for a 45T sprocket.
Just need to drill the rear fender and fit the rubber ‘fender extender’ and will re-focus attention on the front end.
The front fender is loosely fitted but I’m waiting for a few bits from CMSNL in Holland to arrive before I can fit the handlebars, front fender stays etc.
Fitted the NOS brake hoses, the upper hose being slightly longer to accommodate the police ‘high’ bars.
Oh and I had to 3D print a test piece for the missing (and NLA) siren actuator spring holder. Luckily CMSNL had a photo on the website that I was able to use as a general reference. After 3D printing the sample it dawned on me that the overall shape looked familiar. The small metal plate that comes mounted to the underside of most Honda CB front master cylinders is almost a perfect outline, so I’ll modify one of those for the final item. All good fun ha ha.
But, at last she’s back on her feet and really starting to ‘take shape’ now.
Oddjob:
I presume that weird contraption on the swinging arm is for the siren? it reminds me of an old cycle dynamo we had to run lights back in the 60s.

Yeah exactly that - cable driven siren attached to the friction drum (hand operated).
Lobo:
Stunning / beautiful work!
Another similar restoration here - odd that he’s got the Wings backwards on the side covers? (tho’ not in every pic)

Thanks mate - yeah familiar with the ‘DigitalPizza’ bike. Had the same thoughts on the wings lol. And yes, that’s the same bracket - hadn’t spotted that before..I still think it would look nicer tucked away behind the shock so I may relocate later on.
