Racing sucked this weekend.Had the hood issue friday night when i was qualifying,then saturday eliminations got rained out....shoulda stayed home and worked on bike.Got my spare hood on...ugly.Anyway,stripping frame down for powdercoating and noticed this kickstand bracket looked funk-nasty.I'm assuming this has been transplanted from another bike.Is it even a cb kiskstand?Just curious.  Later

Now where in the world would, you find a hood, for a 48 Oldsmobile, so fast? The bracket to the rear of that abomination is the original kickstand bracket.

Re: Here is my FREE bike!

Thanks Piute,i'm debating on putting the center stand back on mine or not.If i lower the bike it will probably be useless.Was gonna shave off all unused brackets,but that brings me back to something we were talking about awile ago,ruining perfectly good frame for someone who might want to restore it one day.Tools was right(go figure)about the other bracket on the  frame being the original location.My concern is if i cut off the added bracket if the original one will not work with the current exhaust.I hate to have to put motor back in frame and hang pipes just to find out,but if i can shave this extra abomination off id be glad to.Just dont know why it was ever added.Talk to previous owner tomorrow

Re: Here is my FREE bike!

That's why you have that smaller bracket it's A 76 some reason thought was a 78,so then your kickstand is A little forward of the corner,not on it like mine,...Piute...

Re: Here is my FREE bike!

Put the motor back in the frame so i could hang the pipes and check out this bracket situation.Seems the forward bracket was added because factory corner bracket is unusable with these pipes on the bike.Why would someone manufacture a set of pipes for a cb750 that won't fit a cb750?


See how the corner bracket sits right in the crease of the tail pipe? So Piute,you're saying since mine was built as a corner stand frame and not a forward stand frame that makes it a non ss?I'm confused...again
