Thanks, man. I will admit that I am in love with my Yamaha, but I often think about how I miss my CB, especially the '80. I don't know why I've been sitting on this build for so long, but I'm happy to finally be motivated on it.
Speaking of the FZ07, the footpegs are getting revisited. After a quick lap on my Yamaha I came directly in and sat on this bike. Feet too far forward. Took some measurements off the FZ to compare peg location and realized those rearsets would actually fit nicely, so yanked them off and did a quick mockup. Shooting for recreating the FZ ergos and am very happy with the results. Also the anti-vibe nature of them is what I wanted. Chatting with a guy on a FZ07 forum and he needs some powdercoating done. Gonna trade work for his stock rearsets, so it'll basically be free to me.
Gotta an idea for passenger pegs, but we'll see how that goes.
Lies. Lies, I tell you. Let's grind that off.
Cleaned the frame off to fiddle with rearsets and have no idea why Honda put that dimple in there.
Heel plate mount is the master cylinder mount. Hoping I get lucky and can reattach the CRF450 master cylinder I ordered on this same spot. Fingers crossed for pure luck. I dig the CRF mc due to it's integrated reservoir. One less thing to mount.
Stuck the fairing on for a look and don't dig it. So I lowered it as far as possible and it was better, but still didn't like. Plan B on all that. Most likely get a 6" round and a Trailtech unit. Original, I know.
Stock ^^^ - Lowered vvv
Downside is ditching the fairing will complicate wiring and I'll need to buy a headlight and gauge now, but upside is it knocks 10lbs off the bike. Another 4lbs saved using the rearsets. Quite happy about that.
Boring updates out of the blue, I know. But it keeps me motivated.
