I love the first one. The sportster tank has been done to death.

I'm with Tools. The Sportster tank actually fits the angle of your frame nicely, but you do see a lot of them. The blue tank looks nice, is unique and probably holds more fuel. What is it from?

I'm with the blue, never have been a fan of squarish tanks.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

The blue tank is off a 1974 Harley Z-90. Biggest piece of crap motorcycle ever built. I had a 74 model when I was a kid and the thing broke every time I rode it.

I would say 70PSI is sufficient.

Re: cb750 chopper

I dont think my charging system is working. I pulled the battery lead and it dies, I pulled the alt lead and I cant get a reading its real iratic! And not to mention there doesn't seem to be any more volts to the battery after its running.

Needs the helps.
 Also I didnt wire this bad boy up so I dont know exactly if it was done correctly.

These bikes must have a battery connected to run. The charging system must have a charge to magnetize the stator. As for checking, you must have the engine RPM at 2000+ before they charge. You want 13-14.5 volts.
Here is simplified wiring diagram, I hope it helps.

I got the "honda honk" print out. Now I is just looking to make sure. Fucking greasy fingers  dont touch pad weell.  Maybe I wont worry untill I can run it down the street.
Sucks is I plan on running this down to the smoke out in rockingham in 3 weeks... I thought ihad more time this round as I didnt have to mount a motor into a frame and build  controls... my shit may hit the fan! Also I sold all my other feasible bikes to, MAKE MONEY MONEY. MAKE MONEY MONEY!

Re: cb750 chopper

I'mI think we fixed the electrics. That damn black wire off the solenoid got connected to the black wire off the regulator and then grounded...that aint gonna work. I'm pretty sure that it was the previous owner cuz we didnt mess with any of that at first. But old connections were made new and replaced the 30 amp fuse holder with a nice one. Better battery lead. And so on. And all the jets came today.
