I'm actually making a king & queen seat for it this week. And it's getting a longer narrow twisted metal springer and spool 21". Will post more pictures after that

Hippie459 no sir it's a nos frame produced in the 70's for a sohc that was sitting in some old timers garage for 40 years. Crazy craigslist find!

Cool I'll look into that, thanks!

Ok so I've had nothing but problems with my stock carbs. I was going to do a single carb swap to a Harley CV but soon came to the realization cylinders 2&3 would run crazy rich and 1&4 lean. Then I purchased a set of mikuni bs38's off a '74 XS650 for short money that had just been rebuilt. Found...

I've got a 1981 cb750c. About a month ago I fired it up for the first time after sitting in my garage for 4 months over winter, had just done an oil change, and bought new plugs, it ran like a top. After that I pulled the carbs off to clean the floats, put the carbs back on today to run it and...
