I got some Honda CB750A aluminum wheels on Ebay.

I upgraded the front brake rotor to a pro lite floating brake rotor rather
than using twin discs which increase the weight. The rotor was .007 thousandths thicker.
The hub is aluminum instead of steel.

Avon road rider tires and new tubes.


I got the frame ,swing arm,gas tank and battery box back from the powder coaters.
They looked great! First time I have been able to afford something other than rattle can.
But I have had some great looking rattle can jobs.

When you powdercoat a gas tank you have to put the gas tank liner inside the tank after the powder coating.
The reason is that they bake the gas tank powder coating to 350º and the fuel tank liner cannot withstand
the heat.

If you put the fuel tank liner in AFTER it is powder coated then the fuel tank liner can go through a pinhole
and mess up the powder coat.

My advice is put the liner in the tank first and paint it or get it painted.
If you paint it your self get the two part clear to put over the paint. Make sure the paint is compatible with the clear coat.
You can spray the color undercoat two part with a preval sprayer, but not the clearcoat.
The clearcoat needs more pressure. The temp has to be 70º too.
