I started on a ratty cheap CB750 chop a while back. Wanted to get a cool bike done on the cheap and these damn projects make other projects that make the initial project hit the back burner. I couldnt get my hard tail straight without a proper jig so I drew one up in CAD and built it. Its still pretty low tech but it is adjustable and will make a straight frame. Then I needed a shed at my house because I was wasting too much driving to my folks all the time, So I built that and am working on the lights and outlets. One of these days I will actually finish a motorcycle I hope
.
Here is a mock up pic of the 750, when you are a loser and cant actually finish a bike you just mock it up a bunch lol. I think it is forum applicable because that is a CR500 front end lol.

I have been messing around with my clutch cover this last week. Cut the water pump outlets off to fit the fin cylinder and filled the holes with epoxy. Got after the inside of the water pump housing with the dremel making as much room as possible. Where the water pump was is going to be a little hidden stash spot. I dont smoke weed or carry shit on me but thought it was a cool idea to make the now non functonal water pump serve a small function. Guess I just thought it was cool.
Here is a crappy sketch of what I think I am kinda going for as far as the bike goes. Dont make fun of my drawing, assholes.

The piston is a wiesco so it shouldn't scatter on you, do a light hone on the cyl clean it real good and should be fine for alittle testing!!!!!
Cool jig!!!!!!

I might have tried to put a gear or pulley on the water pump shaft to run some kind of alternator or generator to power lights. Something like sprockets and chain that could rip your pant leg off if you got too close.

Street tracker would be cool if you could get a plate for it.

Thanks! Yea, something like that for sure. Hopefully once it is done and I can get the suspension set up it will turn, slide and handle high speed "jumps" (railroad tracks and stuff like that). I dunno, I am having a lot of fun building it though. I figure once it is done, then I will look into getting it legal. One step at a time. Thanks for the feed back!
Got the shock resevoir mounted last night. Also got the fender mounts cut off the new forks and got some new seals in them. Now I just have to sand them down and polish them back up. Put my new tapered bearings in and the frontend will be done. Thanks again for the replies, keeps me excited about it!
Side note: I am not the best welder BUT I am low on gas so pretty much all of my welds are just enough to hold it together until I pull it all back apart and finish zipping it up.

I would go with the bigger fuel tank = more range.

Is this an easy thing to accomplish?
Here are a few progress pics. working on the seat base and the tail section. I'm going to rivet sheet metal to the support/tabs. Thanks for the imput.

Considering you have no water pump.... I'd say its nearly impossible.

I started skinning the rear section. Got some pictures of the progress I'll upload.
The expansion chamber has got me stumped. The stock pipe doesn't fit with the air-cooled cylinder. I made some cuts in it and have tried to make some changes by twisting sections around and it was totally not working. I havent came up with design yet but with how much of a mess cutting the stock pipe was I'm not as confident about attacking it as I was before. I have seen videos on hydro forming and I could do that but once again I'm afraid I'll come up with a shitty product. Has anyone ever built an expansion chamber from scratch? I would love a step by step how to on building the chamber and then fitting it to the actual bike. Might have to have one built and I figure thats going to be pretty dang pricey

Thanks for the info, Would an 84 stocker possibly fit? I was pricing the dg and it sure seems like money well spent. I just wonder in case I found a good deal on a stocker.
Here are some pics of the tail section. decided to weld the sheet metal on instead of riviting. Fits a little better like this. Never mind the sharpie scribble.
Should have waited to make the seat pan after the tail was done so I'll be doing a little more fiberglass work once I get it finished. The fiberglass lays in all the little cracks and makes a really good fit.
