Well my husband has been busy in the garage the past couple months. Busy with customers snow blowers (4 of them) and a Honda Shadow 750 but not my CB750. Lately we have gotten it released from the jig and are doing some grinding of the welds and tabs. He brought it outside to get a pic without the garage clutter behind it. This week he is going to make it a roller by adding the front end and rear tire. This will allow him to figure out where the last two cross braces are going.

Sorry it's been a while, the guys have been working on everyones cars the past few months, last minute stuff before inspection, fixing gas leaks, mufflers, frames, motor mounts and everything else you can think of. Anyway my husband finished making and welding the hardtail and connected the backbone. It needs some final grinding and some filler, then will do a mock up.

We added 3" to the wishbone and then put the girder on to see how it lined up.
Then we adjusted the rake out about an extra 5 degrees to have the frame sit nice and even with the girder on.
Looks good. The backbone lines right up with the rear legs, now all we have to do is extend the upper legs and connect the dots.

Finally, with the help of my husband I am actually working on my chop. Our good friend Mike disappeared after he couldn't get his damn bike running. It is still in my garage though. I think its' been about six weeks since he's been over. Anyway, my husband cut the tail end of the frame off, we are working on grinding down all the unnecessary tabs.

WTF - I've been battling with my husband Dave and our good friend Mike about putting my bike up on the bench. Well David's bike has been up there for a couple of weeks. He claims it's almost done just have to do wiring. He's been wiring for a couple of weeks now and it's still not done. We're driving home from our friends house one day and stop at a yard sale because David saw a bike. OMG. Anyway we stop and I listen through the window -five bucks, I'll take it he says. So they throw the mini bike in the back of the truck and off we go. Now my five year old son is telling me his bike is going on the bench next. He wins, we get home and his bike's on the other bench in the garage. Engine's out now another engines in. Tires and chain are ordered.
My son's loving it, he's helping out, so I can't argue.
Our poor friend Mike, he's been coming over twice a week since November working on his bike - we still can't get the damn thing running. It looks good though. He can't wait till my bike gets up on the bench, for some reason he want's me to feel his agony.
