    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

OK made some progress, here are two pics what do you guys think? With the frame on the jig, it is hard to tell but not much left to do. Pumped with how she turned out, should hopefully have her wrapped up this weekend depending on what we get hit with (weather). Still need to cut off some excess tubes and weld everything up....

With out any further adu:

More Shiner, of course...:D


Pics look good, I hope that long unsupported top tube is heavy enough to keep things straight on the road.

Still working on engine mounts...
 
Thanks Odinist, I am starting to get excited about the project... Hopefully she will start to take form before too long..
 
a cafe racer club building a bike like this........WOW!!

you are a VISIONARY.......
 
looks good. will the frame be able to handle the load without more reinforcement?
 
Yeah, I'd say that after you get the engine mounted up to fab up some supports under/infront of the seat area...maybe with some gussets.
 
How much rake did you end up going with? And did you shorten the forks?
 
Thanks for all of th positive comments guys, I am moving forward slowly but surely. I am breathing life back into a 76 Cb 750SS to sell to get a bit more grip for this project.

Colorado - I love all bikes for what they are, if I had more money I would have a hanger full of them. As it is there are 10 bikes in my garage, 4 of which are projects. Fun stuff!

We will look at adding gussets as needed (especially with my size, I am a big boy), but I want this to be bare bones and dirty. We kicked the front end out to 38 degrees and left the forks stock. After running the numbers several times that was the most we could go with.
 
Hey Mr Ed, any chance you still have the case guard that was on the 1000 when you got it? If so would you be interested in selling it?

Nice looking project you've got going there.
 
The engine guards that were on the bike are POS. You can have them if you want to pay for shipping and a beer someday. Let me know what you think.

PM you address and I will let you know the cost...
