What is interesting is the guys that re-phase the crank and turn the 180 degree motor into a 277 degree motor like the original Triumph. That would be cool, but again, you're starting to talk serious money. A re-phased, big bore (750cc) hot motor is $3600.

I am looking for another once to make a Street Tracker out of, but due to the problems with making a ST it needs to be REAL clean.

Thanks for the conversation on this guys. It makes it a lot more fun.

I agree with you, that doesn't mean that I have to like it .... jus sayin'

I know that's the 'chopper' tank, but it's not the tank that appeals to me the most ....... but heck, I'm not a builder either .. just that I have a different idea of what looks good to me in that regard

Well you are wrong DAMN YOU.


Yer going on report.

My brother is doing a 750 Honday bobber right now. This will be his 2nd one.
He always loved the old CB 750's. I rode his first one and it was like riding
a scat car. Fun and fast.

I remember the days in the 70's when a lot of the 750 choppers were popping up. Some cool old bikes and they sounded great. I said this once to my brother-in-law who was a 1%er and he punched me in the face. Then he got mad at me for not defending my opinion by punching him back. I had a confusing up bringing.

At times, it shows.

You can't put anyone on report.




You have to have rules to put someone on report.

zInt's ain't ever gonna learn their place...

I've been working on the EB a bit the last week. I picked up all the supplies I needed to learn how to polish the cases and other bits. I am surprised how easy it is to clean up this stuff. I had one side case that I had just written off as too far gone to even bead blast and powder coat. I have about an hour of my time into it now and the thing reflects like a telescope mirror. I am really happy with the outcome.

I have decided to change directions just a bit as far as the theme goes and paint this up Gazinta. I have blown up the 'zint pirate flag and am trying to use it to learn how to airbrush.

Anyway, I have a Sportster motor that I picked up for a real good price so I might build up a drop seat with that Doof style. It would be fun to take them to a couple of shows and show them.

You're not going to put a green leather and velour seat on it are you?

I got the ass end cut off the Yammie finally. I hope to have the hardtail on next week. All the parts on the ground are pieces that I cut off using various methods. I found the Sawzall with a new blade worked best, especially seeing as I had to keep the engine in the frame to hold all the geometry together.

A good TIG welder is only as good as the idiot operating it.
