front end buttoned up with new tapered bearings. mounted some dirt bike bars. Im still iffy on them, might do clip ons. idk yet. also mocking up mono shock set up. swing arm from a ninja 250, shock and linkage also from a ninja. wheels are just roller wheels for now. i want to do some wide spoke supermoto wheels.
next few things to be addressed are mounting of the tank. it will be up a bit in the back. and the rear portion of the frame will be chopped off and redone. i plan for it to swoop up a little bit and be a longer, due to the ninja swing arm being ~3" longer than stock. also need to fix the steering stop, i can use the stoppers on the lower triple, but the tab on the frame is too wide to have any sort of turing. more to come, stay tuned!
Wow, nice progress. This looks like it will be very different than the last setup. I really liked the way it looked before tho but I’m sure this will come out nice too.
“custom” means nothing as far as parts being harder to come by on a cb650. guy is a moron. As far as kickstart is concerned…if you REALLY wanted kickstart on a cb650, you can use some parts from a cb550 and bore the hole where the lever goes into the right side case…it’s a lot of work though and not really worth it. Either way, that bike is RETARDED CHEAP.
did some messin around today with mounting the tank. the plan was to drop the front of the tank down about 1/2". i cut the old mounting tabs off. and drilled the hole where i planned to mount the new tabs. due to the difference in tunnel width of the 350 four tank to the frame, i made new tabs and holesawed out the old portion from the frame.
Thanks!
I’m calling around to get prices on lengths of 1"ODx.120"wall steel tubing to redo the subframe seat section. Cutting of the frame coming soon lol
