    Outside the barn find

    Compression Three are at 150 - 160 and #2 is 120. All approximate and I'll get around to a better gauge for the next test. I squirted some oil around the valves and some in the cylinders and plan to adjust the valves this weekend.

    Update The CB450 Nighthawk turned out to be the best of the three. New tires, seat cover, boiled the tank and cleaned the carbs. Rebuilt the brakes. Replaced the mirrors, tail light and the levers. I spent lots of hours taking things apart and polishing plus repainted all the plastic and the...

    Cafe Project has Begun!!

    Gonzo, How could you powder coat a frame? It obviously won't fit in the oven. Can it be cured with a heat gun?

    Sprockets

    Oh yes, that geometry thing. It has a 19 front/18 rear now and I am planning on running 18/18. Pirelli makes the closest matching set I've found so far. I'm looking at 110/90 - 18 for the front and 140/70 - 18 on the rear. But I am open to suggestions. I have a big cruiser that I ride...

    Sprockets

    Thanks Travis. 17/48 seems to be the consensus from the 750'rs in my neck of the woods. I'll get the goods and let you know what I think after a few miles.

    Sprockets

    I am building a cafe out of my '75 CB750F and will be changing the sprockets and chain. Suggestions? Low end vs top end?

    Outside the barn find

    Tough question. The bikes cost me a bottle of Crown Royal plus the trailer rental, fuel and time to drive from PHX to Ogden, UT round trip... I'll update that number after i get further along!

    Outside the barn find

    So the mistake I made was asking "so how much for all three?" 75 CB750F 24K miles, 77 CB750K 28K miles and an 86 CB450SC Nighthawk thrown in. Most of the pieces are there - just ugly! I think I'll sell off the 450, rob the K of parts, sell the rest and build the F Supersport into a cafe...
