What do you guys think a 19" 60 spoke front wheel would look like? I can get the whole front end for 125.00

Too Harley looking.

A 60 spoke wheel looks sweet.

Yamaha 83 sx650 fork and wheel will fit a 78 cb750.

Tools THe spokes are not as thick as the harley ones. It looks pretty cool.

[shinyribs]

I love it! Very cool choice ,I think. No,it doesn't look HD-ish to me. I think it looks nice and light.

[shultz_1978]

Thanks Shiny now I need to figure out if I am going to run the 16" back wheel or look for a 18 or 19" for the back two get the same tire size look.

I am thinking about cutting and adding 3" to a yamaha tank to get it to fit and look right. Right now it is to narrow and the petcock will not pass the from rail.

looks good..

[shultz_1978]

I will get it as close as I can. You don't want the exact same thing would you.

Hi all
  Question I am looking to hide most of my electricals under the tank. Before I go making brackets and changing the wiring so they will reach is there anything that would get too hot under there?

[shinyribs]

I don't think so. If you ever see the Santee boxes guys run on choppers they sit right on the engine itself.INSIDE a box with very little airflow and they seem to hold up OK. Under the tank will actually channel quite a bit of airflow if you look at it. I got my stuff under there. Wait about 5 years and I'll tell ya if it holds up or not

I got an 18'' rear rim if you are interested. The chrome is not perfect,but not horrible either. Show bike-NO. Clean rider/20 footer-yes. Just the rim though,no spokes.Of course it's just a lowly 40 spoke.lol


I'm glad to see you doing this Shultz. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this leads.

[shultz_1978]

Thanks Shiny I may take you up on the rim. I just was not sure on putting the elec's under the tank but you are right it will get air. I don't know what I was thinking.


I am going to play out the 40 spoke rear and 60 front Just because. See how many people notice it.

[shultz_1978]

Got this tank today off E-bay.  Not realy what I was looking for but I think it will fit nicely once mounts are made and we ever get to the paint. It has a real big tunnel. Good place to get some elect's in to.

[shinyribs]

Deep tunnel You're not wasting time,are you?!

[shultz_1978]

I am trying. Used some auto stripper on the tank and found some small holes I need to fix.  They might be about the size of lead in a pencil.

[shultz_1978]

Did a little bit of cleaning and polishing on some side covers today.  Just waiting on parts. But I still have other things I can do. keeping it moving. notice my screw organizer. Poke them into a box as I was taking them out.

[shinyribs]

Did you draw a pic of the side cover and poke the screws in the pic to keep track of them? Thats what i didIf all goes well I'll send your rim and spokes out tomorrow.

Covers look good!Dont be afraid to plug those holes in the tank with some JB Weld.Good stuff,that JB Weld!

[shultz_1978]

THanks for the the tip. Shiny. Just let me know what I owe you.

[TOOLS1]

I just throw them in a bucket/box/trash. Never worried about which hole they came out of.

[shultz_1978]

What do you do when you have a long screw left over with a shallow hole to fill?

This way I can just put them right back in where they go, No guessing
