Greasy Dozen Inspiration Build

[DANDAWSON1]

Got the wheels laced (first time doing that), switched the original 17” rear to a 16” Harley rim for a much better choice of tires. Trued rims and mounted tires.

Assembly

[DANDAWSON1]

Didn’t like the rear sprocket like it came and wasn’t sold on just painting it Black so I tried to give it an engine turned look then I cleared it so it would not rust.

[DANDAWSON1]

More assembly.

[DANDAWSON1]

Oil Gauge, Points Cover & Carbs.

That sprocket has got to be the only one in the world like that! Wow Very creative.

[DANDAWSON1]

Some final details to finish (like front brake) but pretty close.

[hillcat]

Well done. Very nice.
I would run a front fender and maybe some fork gaiters along with that front brake.
What's in the background that caught my eye?

[DANDAWSON1]

Thanks Cat! I’m not a fan of fenders, still working on finishing front brake system. I do like how clean the front looks without it though.
1955 Lincoln in the background.

Amazing work man. There's a lot of CB750 wannabes that could learn a textbooks' worth from you. I love it.

Care to give some more detail on your choice of primer, paint and clear? That is the look I am going for on my newest build.

[DANDAWSON1]

Thanks Hatch, I used Axalta (formally DuPont) Uro prime after the body work, Axalta straight black base that was left over at work (I manage a Body Shop) and for the stripes a red pearl that I liked that came from a Lexus we had fixed. Nason clear, 4 coats, wet sand & buff.

[Hatchet54]

Hot dang, thanks for the tip. I'll be writing that process down for my attempt this summer Showroom quality for sure!
