Operation Facelift - FLYTYM_imp - 01-15-2021

Since it too cold to ride figured I'd start on my face lift,hood to be done by summer. I got the Gull Craft fairing and decided to change it a bit. I started by putting together a shape I liked out of clay and then pull a fiberglass mold off that,hope to have the fairing ready to primer in 2 weeks.

Interesting start.

RE: Operation Facelift - FLYTYM_imp - 01-15-2021

The turn signals I'm using are from MOTO GADGET. I want to mount these out of site so I'm making a bracket to hide them but will be seen when on. It's hard to describe what the finished bracket will look like the it will look like a finned oil cooler.

I never really liked the taillight so I made my own,this was patterned after a 1981 CB750 K. The fenders will be painted. [url=https://postimg.cc/t7T3myBP][Image: 1251f1dd31ef228588eaab31e4fc96b5.jpg][url=https://postimg.cc/5YMxQxjr][Image: f7f3b8a4f06a0a1f4a88ecc6535c53b5.jpg]

FLYTYM: Is your goal to go early 80's retro look?

WoW!!! The pic of the side of your bike takes me w a y back to when I had 75Cb750 with the short shocks on the back! Gorgeous bike man! I'm looking forward to seeing this all come together for you! On a side note is there a link to how you did your spoke wheel mod? I want to do that to my 2013!

Not sure about a link. I built the wheels using all new OEM parts I got through Samurider. The rims and spokes came from Buchanan Spoke and Wheel. While it cost an outrageous amount of money to build these Samurider sells a complete bolt on set,new OEM Honda for $2000,thats tires everything to bolt on the bike.

I love the look of these bikes with the spokes. Granted a lil more maintenance during cleaning, but imo well worth the effort

Awesome FLYTYM. Should be satisfying in the end.

Love the old prints prints of yesteryear. There is soul in those musty old takes.

Also gotta love the age of two-door sedans. Smile

The actual taillight housing is an NOS piece I stole from my 750 parts stash.
