almost forgot...

Not only have I been working on the CB750, I have finished rebuilng the engine for the little CL90.


After I reseal (and weld) the tank, I'll FINALLY be able to test fire this little guy. Since it is winter and it needs new rubbers anyway, this may become my winter ice tracker. Really just to tide me over until spring. More to come on this one soon too...

been WAAAAY too long...

Yeah, well I made it to the other side of the holidays, liver and mind mostly intact. Sorry it's been so long since the last post. I started a new job and I've been working more for the old and side jobs. LOTS to do, not to mention trying to find productive time in the shop. So, to show that I haven't been totally neglecting my own work, here's what has been going on:
I finally started and am nicely underway with my first go around with making a tank for the CB750...



still a long way to go, but not nearly as long as I thought it might take. Of course, I will have to make another seat to go along with the new tank. The one that's on it now is my first go with my english wheel and for a different set-up.
Stay tuned, I'm working on the plans tonight for the seat and should get the bulk done this weekend!

and art...

Just so there's not an idea that I'm only working on bikes...


Bits and molds for new works.



oh yeah, and some bikes!


A nice little 90cc tear-down. More to come on that later. First I gotta worry about priorities! Kinda...

the 450...


Yeah, I should be focusing on the sculpture right now, where's the fun in worrying about deadlines that aren't here yet? I've been rebuilding a 1970 cb450 from the frame up over the winter and should be firing it up for the first time really soon. I hope. Still plenty to do (and some to redo) but here we are right now.
