NearCanadaFighter Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Came across this. Friend has it and wants to sell for cheap. He isn't into these bikes...still don't know where he had it from. Anyhow. It's going on an oil cooled 750 chassis. What mods are needed to fit? 1 Quote Link to comment
NearCanadaFighter Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nobody knows what mods are needed for a swap like this? That's really surprising to me with this lot. Quote Link to comment
almostthere Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 probably the same mods you would have to do to fit it to a watercooled, Obviously the airbox has to go as for any other mods who knows, this looks like a one off you'll have to make mods as you go along 1 Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 where's your sense of adventure?.....more kudos for showing us how it's done Quote Link to comment
NearCanadaFighter Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I picked it up today. Haven't sat it in the frame yet. I'll snap some pics of the initial setup and go from there. almostthere- what airbox? Ha-ha I have no airbox, so that's a good start. Quote Link to comment
NearCanadaFighter Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Damn near fits. I'm gonna have to modify the location of the subframe mounts that I made, and I'm gonna make some pieces to shape the frame to match the tank but aside from those two quick things, it's a success. Whoever gelcoated and painted this is nuts. I'm stripping all the crap, loading it with redkote sealant inside to make sure there's no leakies, then slamming it with clearcoat and a good buff. My friend who makes the tail that is in the pic is getting an email to see if he'll remake it for me in carbon fiber to match. I'm almost to the time when the frame, forks and swinger can go out for powdercoat. Edited February 6, 2016 by NearCanadaFighter Quote Link to comment
NearCanadaFighter Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Getting closer to having it totally stripped. Try to finish that step tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
NearCanadaFighter Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 One side done. Found some bondo. Working on some fixes for that. 2 Quote Link to comment
Oilyspanner Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Carbon's weave is better looking than the original paint that's for sure ! Good work, it's definitely worth it. Quote Link to comment

Good work, it's definitely worth it. Thanks. It's been messy and my shop needs a major cleanup but that's OK. 1 hour ago, FJD said: looking good - how do you strip the paint ? Orbital sander w/120 grit, wet sand 120 grit foam block, wet sand 320 grit paper, 800 paper. 1 Quote Link to comment
