New project CB750F1

[Loki]

Brackets adjusted and ready to weld in place. Looks like the attachment for the crescent shaped spring link is just a hook at the frame end, is this correct?

Hey roadrunner , did you put the screws in the sidecovers ? If so , how ? I assume you would cut n drill the bits and use a nylock nut and washer or even a nutsert for better mounting

Hi Loki
I have what I was lead to believe is an original and first year F1 but it's a 1975.
Have had it since 1976.

Thanks for the pictures I’ll have to see what I can dig up in my scrap box.

Hi Loki
Yes, I drilled the covers and used SS button head screws c/w SS washers into well nuts.
Have never loosend off.

Welded the brackets to the frame today, stand seems to swing through its arc without fouling anywhere, next the spring mount, current plan is a piece of flat bar with a bolt welded to form a hook then a locking nut just to stop the spring from jumping off, will see how it goes.

Got the spring mount welded on to the frame today, front brake caliper painted and various sundry items blasted and primed, there were several deep rust pits on the swinging arm so I welded them up and ground it back ready for blasting and priming, still a bit more blasting to get the last of the rust spots off.

Finished blasting and now have all the remaining bits in epoxy primer so on with the black next.
