Wasn't this motor a 1000, 8v head, and the 1100 16v also called TSCC, twin swirl comb.chamber The tank looks like it came from the 1100 but the motor seems 1000
Nice one mate, dig the build and the permit /. I wanted one since saw reedus on it way back when now - been looking for a cb 750 to try my hand at what you have achieved/. Found one this week 98 model so it begins. Not much tech skill and knowledge myself though , id it ends up anywhere near yours id be wrapped
Some beefy looking forks on your one. They're very nice bikes, but a bit fiddley to tune right, especially with aftermarket exhaust. Let me know if you need any tips and hints!
@@askeviksurf thank you, I've heard that it's very difficult to get it right, at the moment it's at the mechanic because it was the first bike I made and I don't know anything about the engine, I have another Xs but I'm going to do it differently
Thanks! I notice that many people build bikes nowadays that look a bit off or looks like they're a scramble mismatch pile of parts. I would start with figure out what you like, then figure out why those bikes look good, what makes em so good? When it comes to actually practicality building one, I would start with a cheap bikes that runs and everything works on, don't start with a non runner, especially with electric problems. The yamaha sr400 is a very good bike to start with. Very over priced here in Australia, but a good frame to build on!
I'm still at the cleaning every little bit stage. The gunge and the muck is on everything and I don't have a parts cleaner either. It's the only way to restore though. Your customers bike is inspiration for me, thank you, you did an awesome job dude.
Thanks! Depends on how hands on and technical you are. The only thing that matters is the length of the steering arm. The thickness you get new bearings with collars/seats that fits your new dimensions. Length you either cut down or extend and then weld (it's more than likely 7075 aluminium. So welding is very tricky. I usually tap the inside of the stem, insert a threaded stainless rod, join then weld with a aluminum mig). Alternatively get some one to make you a stem and press it into the yoke, or get someone like cognitomoto to do the whole thing for you. To do it yourself can be very tricky and hurt your brain, but it's extremely rewarding when you make it work!
@@askeviksurf yes it’s still had the number plate on it. I got it of the bloke that got halfway through restoring it. It’s all in undercoat at the moment.
@@Fordgxlxc I sold it in 2016 when I got sick and ended up in hospital, I since recovered my health. I had plans to restore it, since it was a bit of a zombie. I'm so happy to hear from you, I mean it! It's so cool to know the mean green machine is on its way back. Please upload some videos when you make progress. Love your other videos.
@@askeviksurf I’ve had the sedan for 22 years now but I still have not finished restoring (3rd time) it as Life plans have changed. I had a Ute a few years ago that was made to sell it and most recently been keen for another one then yours come up for sale and could not miss the opportunity. Yes I will upload some photos of it soon.
