Parts Q&A's and Feedback. / part # for spokes
« on: February 17, 2010, 01:32:53 pm »
Hello all.

What part #'s should I be looking for to get spoke sets for my rear rim?

Are the spokes for the rolled edge rims the same length ast the spokes for regular rims?

Thier is a parts place in the netherlands that has spoke sets that are reproductions. I think theier name is CMSNL or something like that. Are the spokes they sell acurate?

What is the part # for the spoke sets I need for my rolled edge rim?

Is thier any length difference between spokes for my rim, and the standard CB750 rim?

I just sent out payment for the rim I found and I'm waiting for it to come in.
I have money set asside for spokes so I'm shoping around.

That parts distributor in the Netherlands "CSMNL", or something like that, has some nice looking spokes.... Are they accurate?

Exhaust / Restoring old pipes.
« on: February 17, 2010, 11:49:25 am »
What happened to that question about fixing the rust spot on the bottom of the un-numbered pipe?

I was also wondering about restoring pipes. Mine are un-numbered but need work. All of mine have dents, Two of them have conciderable rust damage, and one of them is bent on the header end. Another is bent neer the foot rest support.

Is thier any one who can resurect such badly damaged pipes? I personaly think it would be worth more than the cost of a new set of HM-300's to restore an original set.

Fuel (gas - petrol) Tanks, Side Covers and Air Box / Forgerie air box.

Do any of you know if a ridged air box can be made into a smooth side forgerie? I have never seen an original box to know if the ridged boxes have the same measurments. I have a ridged air box that I have made smooth, but I don't want to waist any more time on it if it will never look accurate even after I paint it.

Paint - Badges and Component Refinishing / Anodize
« on: February 17, 2010, 11:17:36 am »
Are the left and right controls and master cylinder anodized? I took mine down to just the metal pieces and ran down to an anodize shop in Fort Collins Colorado. The manager calls me a few days later and says we can't anodize this grade of aluminum unless it is freshly cast. Once we strip it and try to re-anodize it the metal will pit and you wont be happy with the results..... Oh by the way this old coating on your pieces is paint not anodize..... You should just get these things powder coated or painted.

Is he full of poop? If so do you know someplace "preferably in N. Colorado that I can get them striped and anodized.

Thanks.

Frame and Chassis Related Elements / Ign. Brkt?

How far between the steering head and the triangle brace should I secure the Ign. bracket. I don't want to clamp it down in the wrong location and mark the powder coat up with the wrong spot. The piece of frame I'm referring to is 7.5 inches long. Thanks.
