Cycle whore thread
Re: Cycle whore thread
overall I'm unimpressed with this build. nothing really stands out at me.
I do like the cycle-x muffler on the cb750F headers. That's how Halfrican's bike is gonna look.
The cb350 sidecover is interesting. and I didn't expect to see cb750F rotors on it (it is a 71 after all).
But all in all it just seems incomplete and hobbled together.
Also it's going to be a bitch to ride with no front fender or fork brace. Especially with those knobby tires.
I think my favorite part is the handlebars (renthal?) and everything attached to it. It needs a brake fluid reservoir though or that thing is gonna get air in the lines the first time you go to stop.
and what the fuck is up with there not being an oil return line?
Edit: I forgot to mention that there isn't enough clearance for that rear tire to work. first bump you hit you're gonna rub tire all over your ass. There needs to be at least 3 more inches of travel for those shocks to work.

Re: Cycle whore thread
I am a fan of the simple ass seat though. I want to get rid of mine eventually, but we shall see how it looks when it all gets together.
First paycheck returns anything I still owe you <3

Re: Cycle whore thread
If you want a seat I'm gonna make a seatpan for the cb400 after I paint your motor. Throw down on cost of 'glass and I'll make you one too.
