CB750 scrambler project
-
Started on the looming and electrics.
Repositioned the coils to clear the fuel tank.
Little jobs like that take a lot of time getting right.My holster on the headlight number board is all part of the walking dead style bike. It definitely wouldn't be ridden with that on it 😂 even though I'm trained on glocks , this is just a replica.
Only used for pics :)

@Louis-DT-WR this looks amazing, well done
@rolz82 thank you, working through all the electrics. My least favourite thing
-
Working through the electrics. I've got my rear indicators and tail lights sorted.
I made a CDI holder to relocate it.
Fuse box and indicator regular relocated.
Front lights, indicators and horn on.
Ignition barrel relocation plate made.
Just sorting a battery box and the battery is on order. I can't fully test what connector goes where until the battery comes.
-
Well I put the engine in alone which was a very heavy task 💪 killed my back haha. Lining it up with the mounts while the bike was leaning again the bench. (You can't fit the engine when the chassis is on a bike lift)
Got my battery box mounted with the lithium battery. Its so light! I thought it was just a empty case!
Carbs on + filters and cables. Fitting the carbs was tricky, the rubber manifolds are so hard. I'd replace them but £150+vat for 4 and they're not cracked.

I even have a engine lift but it would have needed an offset cradle made up to clear the frame

@Calum cheers man. Its literally a case of getting parts in my hands and making it fit/fabricate parts. I wish fowler's would hurry up, waiting ages for my rear brake parts. And side stand bits
-
Little bits done, oil cooler fully connected, the pipes were bent, took a while to get them right.
Oil filter came finally.
PCV filters on.
Started seat mounts and ignition switch relocation.The 2 most expensive items I need is an exhaust and starter motor.
Still undecided what tank colour. I'm thinking Matt gunmetal grey. I was going to go black but think that would be over kill.

@Louis-DT-WR match your tank to the cam covers maybe
@declan satin silver would be nice but not too stealth.
-
@Louis-DT-WR You'll be too scared to get that beast dirty for-sure!!! :joy:
@NINJA always the case but haven't gone OCD on this. Its got scratches and scruffs on the engine and forks. And I like it looking ragged
-
Lights check on.
Tail lights seem to have not power, maybe but headlight is on when ignition on. Brake lights not working 🤔 maybe it will when engine is running.?
Horn was faulty,
All 4 indicators would flash, so I had it wire in a diode and earth the dial indicator light
Clutch hydraulic line arrived and installed.
Tank painted, I have a decal coming for it.
Ignition switch installed -

@Louis-DT-WR looks amazing pal, well done great build 👍
@rolz82 thanks! I have such little knowledge of this bike (electrics and engine)
So many little things I want to know. -
All lights, switches and horn are on and functional
Seat brackets made up.
Waiting for my starter motor to arrive.
Then decide what way to go for exhaust.
-
Now this would get my attention at a local bike night, any plans to paint it or just keep the flat steel look?

@Stevie-Wonder thanks. The tank is painted. In chrome silver powder coat. I was going to go all black but I wanted it to shine a bit
