CB750 urban scrambler

Any more updates on this?

[Raydial]

I might be able to give you a bit of an update on Friday.

I can say, though, that I had to order a new swing arm from Japan cos when mine was bead blasted it was too badly rusted to use. It had more holes than Swiss cheese. The new one won't arrive till the middle of November. So there's no rush for the other work to be done.

I admire your patience!

I admire your patience!

+1.

I'm sure it will be worth it.  I'm finding doing my wee tweeks to the Scrambler really exciting so the wait for you must be hard.

Jarse - Got any update pics of yours?

Ray, I now shall call you St Ray

Coxy, I should have my bolt on's done over the weekend so will post up after they are all done.

I'm trying hard to get prices from Norman Hyde for some performance upgrades but they are slow at responding.

Hax was very kind in transporting back an awesome leather seat, Pazzo's, chrome low profile mirrors and a new set of shocks from British Customs in the States which I ordered and had delivered to his hotel and he took them back in his Business Class luggage, saving import duty.

I've had to modify the front brake reservior mount to fit the mirrors and British Customs have been really helpful and interested in how I did this.

I'm meditating daily. Seriously, I am.

Don't you find you get a bit cranky when you haven't ridden for a while? I've not been out on a bike since the April rideout. 

[Raydial]

This is what's been done so far.

[Jarse]

That'll be a new bike then.

I did, the crankiness has long since passed, it will be a long while before I am back riding again.

Loom/electrics

I know it's a Honda but I hope this does not prove problematic.

Expensive to replace though on top of an already mounting bill.

[Raydial]

Why would keeping the loom be a problem...? 

[Jarse]

Loom probably ok but ageing electrics can be problomatic.

This is what's been done so far.

I wanted a cheap bike that I could take an angle grinder to and not worry if I fucked something up and this fitted the bill perfectly. My aim is to do something interesting for as little money as possible. So that means I'm not planning to replace things like the exhaust. It's to see what I can do on a budget.
