Nice bike, nice upgrades!!

Little udate for today. I was hopin to pick up my tanks from the paint shop, no go, mid week.

So anyway, pipes look way better!!! I gotta stop touchin my face after handling this header wrap!!!!!!!!!!! itchy itchy sneeze sneeze!!!

 

What's the paint scheme?

 

The paint scheme is very straight forward.........FLAT BLACK!!!!!

Obviously there will be a little bling bling and aluminum just to break up the flow, but tanks, fenders, bars, controls and all that stuff will be flat. Then the gloss black wheels really pop!!! I love the look.

I saw this bike in another thread, really like it.



I also painted my first build flat black



I just coulndt bring myself to do this to the harley tanks!!! Although I did this to the front fender and some other bits!!! Tough as nails, looks MEAN!!!

 

Bike is looking very cool CT. looking forward to the updates!

 

Great lookin build. What swingarm did you use on the 750? I got a 74 that im building and im looking at doing the swingarm and front end like that

 

Hey Barnes, glad you like the punisher. I currently have a GSXR 750 swingarm on the bike. Almost a direct bolt on. Just had to have two bushings made to make the arm match the CB pivot bolt, Had two tabs welded on to the run dual shocks and used a couple spacers to center the arm in the frame. I am not sure how this modern equipment will work out with SOHC 74 though.

Current set up



The arm in this photo is actually the stock arm. I sent it to a guy in Florida who stretched it 4" on the front end and braced it. Cost like 200 bucks to build the whole thing. I ran a honda F2 wheel on that arm. The F2 wheel bolted straight into the CB arm. Just had to mix and match some spacers and use the F2 brake caliper. That arm looked great, but weighed a ton compared to the gixxer arm!!




Hope to get some updates on the monster this week. Stem swap is really holdin me up!!!!

Bars and risers came in. Waitin on headlamp and brackets, as well as 600RR wheel.



I wish my friggin stem swap was done!!!

 

 

 

FYI, if you soak the header wrap in water first, you wont have that issue. Makes it much more pliable as well.

 

I did soak it, didnt help with the itchy itch!! Went on nice though.

Since it didnt come with any install directions, I cued up a couple "how to" vids on youtube, isnt the internet great!!
