She runs and runs beautiful!
I'll do a video when fully warmed up.
And not pouring rain.It was screeching when I started it., Originally thought it was the starter, but when running it was awfully loud. I thought "here we go" something major.
I had a suspicion it was the generator....
Look what I found...
A tiny recess where a slightly bent fan blade was rubbing the cover.Really easy fix and now sounds great!

@SpookDog cheers , and thanks for following everyone. Some final cosmetic touches and possibly rejetting left to do
Can't believe how fast and smoothly it revs up -
Have a little listen
ears are bleeding

@Louis-DT-WR BRAP BRAP BRAP, sounds beastly dude!!!

@Calum we all like a noisy exhaust until you ride a long journey with one, then it just gets annoying
-
@Louis-DT-WR ive never been a fan of loud exhausts i prefer a good quality exhaust note

Agreed. I prefer quiet engines that make power. Turbo Flutter is a must.
Now an eargasm superbike inline 4 that's a win.
But I can't stand loud Hondas that make fack all power.

@Calum like all the kids in corsas with cherry bombs
all noise and can't even pull the gear with their 4 mates in the car eating maccys -
@Louis-DT-WR Not being funny, my Starlet wouldn't pull with four kids in it and that's actually a rapid motor. I mean it's no Skyline but it's still 133hp out of a 1.3 860Kgs from 1989.

Honda Civic EG6
It's purely the fact that it's low weight and turbo'd. It's competitive let's just say that.
Difference is, those B16s can be tuned to the moon, the 4EFTEs are running into issues around the 400hp mark. Gearbox is sketchy at 300+.

@Darty cheers man, yes just went for a little spin around the ind. EST.
Struggling to change gear....
After some checks, it looks like I was sent the cb750 nighthawk gear linkage.... The bikes share a lot of parts but the lever sits in a different position so the leverage isn't correct for a sevenfifty.But she pulls nicely, actually not too loud
-
Doing the finishing touches. I really like this headlight guard.. took a bit of adapting to fit.
-
Got all gears back now
Playing around with the appearance.
Covered all the yellow protaper logos.
Blacked out the white seat band.Made up a tank strap belt from a shotgun cartridge belt.
I'll probably out some empty cartridges in it.
I didn't like the "open" side of the belt facing up on the side stand.

Nearly finished, I'm going to make up a front fender for a scrambler look
