MIG CB750KZ BUILD

Plating tank hard at work.

Bolts plated

And here is how it all started!!!!!

FFS, how do you get a motor looking that clean?? Chalk me up impressed bud :-)

Looking very good matey. Let me know when you're ready for your frame powder coating. Can't wait for us to be churning up some miles. Are you gonna blast your frame or go down the more gentle, but labourious, route of nitromorsing?

blasting with walnut shell's to remove the paint. nitromors never!!!.

Yep, don't know if they've changed the formula but modern day Nitromors won't take the skin of a rice pudding. I wound up stripping my tank with a rotary wire brush on a DeWalt drill, drastic, but I was losing the will to live!

Seat and tank have landed from the states, but a small amount of damage to the tank bracket which i will need to tend too.
It looks the DB's.

Wheel hubs have gone of to Central wheel components today for morad TC rims and stainless spokes.

That is bike porn m8 stunning me jealouse never

Just love the lines of that tank and seat unit. And with Pud on this, I'm not jealous, no, never, not atall!

Got the frame back from powder coating, curtesy of Dazzler (12hr turn around).
But the swing arm showed some serious signs of metal worn after blasting, so a replacement has been ordered from DK Spares.
Been on with the wiring over the weekend.
Anyway here are a few more pictures of whats been happening.

Forgot to mention, trying to find a battery to fit in the seat hump has proved to be very expendsive. With such a small area it was impossible to fit a gel battery, the only option left was a lithium battery from Racing Batteries. Measures an incredible 118 x 86 x 80mm and is rated for road use.
So bear in mind when planning your build, the look you want could be an expensive one.

Hoping the wheels will be arriving in the next week or so, Looking forward to a rolling chassis at last.

Jesus H Chr*st Mig, that's so clean it's clinical, you're not a surgeon in another life by any chance?

No. But I do repair and manufacture surgical instruments for a living.

Got a bit more done today, fitted new fuse box and battery. And got the frame on the engine at last.
Pics below.















Just need some wheels, Paint and then crack on with building the exhaust!!!!

Looking sweet

Clinical??? The man wears surgical gloves to go for a piss.

Then gets his forceps out!


I'll get me coat now Mig

Got the forks fitted and all the wiring buttoned up. Just waiting for the wheels to come back, and i can get it of the bench.
Looking forward to fabricating the exhaust system and finally getting the bike up and running.

looking good love the little axcle stand to stop it tipping foward looks like a lathe jack

Looking good. Can't wait to see it with the wheels on.

Definately looking the biz, can't wait to see it on it's rubber!

New Hagon adjustable shocks have landed today. So I will get the rear end on tomorrow.
