QUOTE(Chad911sc @ Jun 4 2025, 01:31 PM)  Love the color! Is that a Kawasaki two stroke triple? If so, very nice rare bike. Bet it’s a blast to drive! Looks like a Honda CBX to me. |

Car has been apart since the mid 80's .. So, some assembly required.
It is Tangerine.. The bike is a 79 CBX.. It has an aftermarket exhaust but because of the angle of the picture you can only see the mufflets on one side.. |

Rear mount to pick up the weight and allow torquing of the engine if needed. It is all non-ferrous

Since most of the other tubes were cut away leaving these two and the rear support
to hold it from folding I added a brace where the two come together in the middle. Finished till it gets welded to the header collector, then I’ll media blast it and it will get a coating. One less thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  |

Longest shake down cruise after engine swap. Running great but need to do a little shift linkage adjustment- popping out of 5th. Hadn't gotten it into 5th since the swap- everything else feels good!

Great Pic!
Love that color against the dessert setting…perfect. Chrome bumpers look clean as well with that color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |

Thanks guys. Back bumper is original- I rechromed the front after taking off the tits and filling in the holes... like the clean look.

With the original intention of rolling my passenger rear fender, I ended up mounting my new tires and wheels. The fender "rolling tool" didn't fit my wheel studs in either pattern or size. Since they are now 14" wheels, I figured I'd just give it a shot. Long story short, I need to lower the car some, which I planned on doing anyways, but there aren't any clearance issues for now.
Some folks wanted to know how far the wheels studs protruded past the lug nut....about 3/8's of an inch on the rears and about 1/2 inch on the fronts. I was pretty pleased with the result, but I might have gone a little longer if I did it again. If you want a more "flush" look, you'd have to go shorter. These were 61mm studs with a 44mm shank. Here are some pics:   |

Started separating my header tubes from the collector. Letting a little PB Blaster soak overnight to persuade separation. Thinking about sending them to Jet-Hot for some ceramic coating....they have seen better days.

I was mistaken, now the fabrication is done. So glad, it is 110 out there.
