Right Side cyclinder head

DONE :)

Finally got around to doing this, didn't take too long. Most of the afternoon so not too bad.
Still gotta get things put back on like the radiator and carbs ect.

Pictures of the goldwing in the almost finished state

Here's some pictures of the goldwing...almost finished except now it needs a new right cylinder housing since the old one has decided to keep cracking at the bolt hole.

Another Project

Well it seems I've acquired another project...not sure what keeps getting into me :)

Anyway, it's a '76 Honda CB750 SS.
It's pretty much ugly as can be, the yellow really doesn't do it any justice.

The good news is it's coming apart easily, managed to pull the rotting rear tire off, brakes since those had locked up and the seat, and tank.

Makes it look much better without the really cruddy parts so far.
To test out if the wiring harness might be able to be saved my buddy swung by with a fresh battery and we hooked it up and 'WOW' no fire nothing blew up, the lights actually worked.
That was amazing.

Now it's time to plan the rebuild, and start getting parts in and things ready for powder coating.

Well that didn't work

Yeah the fix on the engine block didn't hold worth a lick.
Just kept cracking and breaking as I tried to fix it a few times.
Solution: EBAY picked up the right side cylinder head block for 20 bucks. Cheap...just gotta pull the old one off.

So more work on the bike

Well I managed to break a bolt hole on the right side engine block valve cover.
So I had to come up with a way to fix it without welding.
JB weld, a stainless steel collar from lowes, helicoil fix-a-thread.

tap the steel collar, got a 1/4" x3/4" x 3/8" I think, the 1/4" hole was a good match to the helicoil M6 thread saver, no drilling just tap the collar.
Then put 2 of those fix-a-threads in the collar make sure to use lock-tight, and then jb weld the whole thing into place.

Most likely you'll need to touch up the area with a drill bit to make it fit nicely.

AWESOME !!!!!

Ok, so I'm able to ride around town now.
Bled the brakes, and got the license plate on and brake light all ready to go.
I'm not a big fan of the mirrors on the bike, and I still have to figure out how to put the side covers on the rear back on, that'll be done once I pick up/find some cotter pins for the mounting pins.

Anyway, here are some pics.
Oh and it sounds SICK AWESOME.

Current setup

Got the tail and blinkers in, and almost finished up the rear fender.
Put some paint on it to see what it'll kinda look like.

I'm going to paint the chrome piece on the tail light since it stands out wayyyyy too much.
