'78K Resto-Mod-"HaCkJoB"

[Half-Caf]

Hey, good to see your Hack-Job coming along. I recently saw this on the net and figured you may be able to glean some inspiration from it

[shinyribs]

 Wow...just,wow.I am usually not one to criticize ANY out of the box thinking...but whoever molested that poor truck should be brought up on some sort of criminal charges!

I have been ebay-ing a fair amount lately.I think I have my brake system sorted out.Just gotta get it mounted now. The rear brakes are stock for my swingarm so the brackets and stay-rod will be a bolt on affair.All I will have to sort out is the rotor spacing.Hopefully the diameter will not be an issue.I'll cross that bridge when the time comes.$36 shipped for all three calipers,rear master and pads.Supposed to be in good working condition.Thats cheaper than I could rebuild mine for!

Master cylinder with spiffy lever for $20 shipped.The hose connect is boogered so that required another part to fix.At $22 it cost more than the masterI think I'm still in the good,though


And of course,a matching clutch perch with matching spiffy lever.$35 shipped


Tab was at                           $472
calipers/rr master                      36
fr master                                 20
kit for frt master                       22
clutch perch/lever                     35
--------------------------------------
Current tab                           $585


I have a bad feeling this bike is not gonna come in under $1,000 like I had hoped.

I have picked up a few other parts. Mr Slownugly hooked me up BIGTIME,so i will have to brag on that soon. Thanks bud

[shinyribs]

OK,so here is another surprise package from Slownugly I swindled him out of his Vapor setup I already love this thing,and it is just sitting on the shelf waiting for a bike to go on! He also threw in a nice looking set of mirror mounts,all of the LED indicator lights for the tab he made,the worlds best flasher bulband a sweet little helmet bag which my helmet is resting in right now.All warm and cozy. Thank you sir! All items are very much appreciated. I owe you one(maybe more!) for all this bud. I will not forget!

As you would imagine,this bumped the tab up a bit. All of this will raise the new tab (get this) 20 bucks...yeah,not a typo. I am almost ashamed to even post this.Ok,I am ashamed.Like I said:SLow' I owe ya man! Previous tab                         $585 Slow' Swag                             20 ---------------------------------- Current tab                          $605

[TOOLS1]

And, you should be ashamed. Taking advantage of a man with only one CB 750.

Did, you ever decide exactly what, you need to make the oil tank with? I might be going by the metal store this weekend.
TOOLS

[shinyribs]

Yeah bud. 3" od is all i can really fit in there. 18" long is about the max,too. Thinner the wall the better. Not like soda can thin,but I know that you know what is weld-able. I did some more measuring. I am gonna build this tank,and add another smaller one. I need to store more oil down low and leave more air gap area in this one. Will help keep weight down a little lower,and will keep it from puking oil when it gets warm/expands and while cornering...why can't I just be satisfied with a stock bike???

Thanks for this.It's a HUGE help to me. Just let me know how much $$$ I owe you. Time,effort and gas are valuable items!!!

[shinyribs]

My axle got here today. $16 off ebay and i didnt have to beg anyone to make it for me. Fits perfect and length is spot on. 2009 Triumph Daytona. Kinda scary cuz this thing is light as a feather and hollow! Weird,but cool.



Current tab            $605
axle                         16
--------------------------
Now                     $621

[pat english]

hey bro,this is a really cool thread...whats with the tab?$621?...is that what youve spent on parts or is that the total?parts plus the bike?

[shinyribs]

Thats total cost Pat. I got my last bike done for under a grand.Trying to see if i can do it again on this one

[pat english]

dang thats cool..i was doing the exact same thing with my last cb..i was in it for $600 total and i had to sell it..i made a few bucks off it,but i would rather kept it.

are you set up for painting at youre house?do you already have the materials?cuz if you dont,i dont see how youre guna make it.paint is expensive.

[Hellbilly429]

Hey shiny, looking sick bro, can't believe how cool that is turning out for less than a grand, gotta say it def looking like a race bike. think you could make like a really cool ram-air system off the sides of the tank like this bike

[Truck]

any idea where I can pick up a control like that one, and do you think it could poss. be reversd or flipped and used for a clutch?

[shinyribs]

Truck, I have some painting supplies in the shop. I have 3 buddies that paint cars for a living. I have ne er used a Booth before. Nothing I ever had was worth that much trouble! If this bike turns out like I hope,  it'll get painted in a Booth.. I think I can come in under a grand as long as I leave the engine alone. If I do the 836 I want I'm sure that'll send me thru the roof!   Hellbilly, those vmax style scoops are killer! Not a bad idea bud!

[shinyribs]

Sorry Truck, which control are you asking about?

[pat english]

i asked about paint,but i hear ya...my bud says theres a place by our house that sandblasts and powdercoats frames for $160

[Piute]

 Didn't know what that vapor thing was ,Google over hundred bucksand no H.P. gain .Needing A speedo gear think I'll keep looking.
 Ya still going PINK n Blk. on that on that Hac-Job

[shinyribs]

Oops. Sorry pat.  Powers out from a bad storm and I have a hard time seeing on this Lil phone screen :)  $160 is a good price for blasting and PC.

[pat english]
