hey thats pretty cool lucky..didnt know that..

yeah those easy out thingys are crap if the bolt is stuck..ive never had luck with them.

That really sucks that your counter sprocket bolt broke off in the shaft. That's every mechanics nightmare. I truly feel sorry for you. My bikes not running either, I eff'd up my tank myself believing in Caswell tank epoxy. I would do everything possible to get it out without splitting the cases. One time I had a broken off bolt in the ignition on a Yamaha R6, I used a dremel tool and cut a groove for a flathead screwdriver to fit, then heated it up a lot and used cutting fluid to lube the threads. I got it out that way, but the CS bolt has way more torque on it than an ignition bolt.

yeah it was pretty shitty..yeah i tried everything i could think of..it snapped off inside the shaft tho..so i wasnt able to cut a slot for a flat head..ive done that a bunch . i handled it tho..it was kinda fun splitting the cases..i wouldnt worry about the tank..you can use aircraft stripper to get that shit out..then wash it real good a few times with soap and water and have some one tig weld the holes..if you get in good with a local welder,they usually do stuff for pretty reasonable prices if you bring them stuff ready to weld.

Wow! I would have loved to be there when you split the cases! I have never seen that done on a cb750. Does the case on a cb have a gasket, or a bonder? The only one I have done is a Yamaha yz125 and it required yamabond type sealer. It must have been super cool to see what the tranny looked like up close. I better shut up now or Murphy will make me do it ;)

lol

[pat english]

so heres a quick,sweating all day mock up..so dam hot..finally cooled off today..thats not the engine im using..its just in there for mock up..im trying to decide if i want a tail section or not.also trying to decide if i want rear sets or not..im guna have to finish the seat so i can see if rear sets will work..i havnt sat on it yet,but im kinda thinking rear sets might be uncomfortable.but weel see...i got a busy weekend with work(trying to get a better position) so i wont do anything till monday or tuesday.but some serious shit will be going down..i sold the 250 and got my bottle for the mig,and a brand new miller hood,gloves..etc..

[pat english]

here is the look im going for..i already had this in mind,then after hours of searching i finally found someone thats done it before.(the style of seat)

[shinyribs]

Tank looks good! Is that a 17" rear wheel? Are you running those super bike bars?

[pat english]

 yeah i think its a 17.id rather get an 18 tho.thanks! hers a shot from behind...yeah i think im guna run that style of bars..clip ons and clubmans look cool..but im seriously too fat to be leaning that far foward..i need to lose at least 50 lbs lol..

[shinyribs]

Naaaah,my gut works well with my clubmans. Once you bottom out on your belly you no longer have to hold your self up. Kinda like reclining...only forwards

[TOOLS1]

I like those superbike bars. However did, you know that your forks, and wheel are on backwards?

[pat english]

lol,i thought things looked funny..i didnt really care..just needed to make it a roller...

[pat english]

so ive made a lil progress..finally got my welder all hooked up..the cart is a harbor frieght special...fuckin piece of crap..i had to cut it all up to make it work.

then i welded in that rear bracket..i know its not pretty,but its welded..ill get better.this was my first time welding with this machine and i havnt welded in a while.

also primerd the frame and cut out the front rails for my "gordan frame kit"..ill be making my own tho..just picked up the 1 inch round stock today.had to drive accross town to get it...now im waiting for my weirdo friend to get home so i can use his lathe..

[Hellbilly429]

That's looking great man, not like that weld bead has to be perfect, it's getting covered up anyways

[pat english]

hey thanks bro...well some of it will be seen..ill be working on the seat pan tomorrow if i have time..my buddy isnt working today so i gotta wait till tomorrow to use the lathe...but youll see what i mean when the seat pan is done.

[Hellbilly429]

Gotcha, if you can't cover it up you can always put some decals right there, lol, but the only people who will care are you and people that have no lives...

[TOOLS1]

I have that same welder in 110. Mine would not weld, for crap. Turns out it was messed up, and needed new guts. However Miller took care of it no problem. The funny thing is, I asked the salesman if they were reliable, and he said they had never had a problem with them. Go figure.
