CB750 scrambler project

@Louis-DT-WR You'll be too scared to get that beast dirty for-sure!!!
@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

Took so many attempts to get the starting circuit to work. Checked everything, earths, relays, switches, batteries, motor and cables.
The first lithium battery I bought was total crap, couldn't crank the engine over even though cross reference numbers said it was correct. Bought a shido and works perfectly.
Made a numbplate holder + front "number plate"
The most exciting part is the exhaust! Cut off about 10kg of the baffles. Shortened the silencers right down and made up the end covers.
Still got to wrap the exhaust
-
@Calum looking forward to hearing it
-
@Louis-DT-WR Looks mighty fine dude, is your bike named after your sweetheart???
@NINJA it's named after the baseball bat Lucille in the walking dead
basically Calling it an apocalyptic weapon 
-
@Calum cheers man. Its nice to have a bike that's not plastic panels. Raw machine

@Louis-DT-WR very cool looking bike mate. You have a cool helmet design to go with it? Something like a skull with bullet holes would go well with that bike.
@markus-w Cheers mate.

@Louis-DT-WR hard choice to make I like all 3. That bike is going to be a good conversation starter. Sure will get some attention.
@markus-w I like the bottom one but looks too modern.
Yes anyone who gets the refe of Lucille will.Genuinely built in the closet thing we've had to the apocalypse

When you buy exhaust wrap, they always rip you off and send you much less
Got one half of the exhaust done.
The fiberglass gets everywhere
.
Cleaned and Sprayed up the rusty bits silver.
The wrapped from the silencer to the flanges.
Heat shields Powder coated blackEngine guards didn't come with any instructions and can't get both sides to fit yet with the brackets that came... Probably have to make more.
