I had the modified signal stay mounted this weekend at a shop, meanwhile I cut and brazed the aluminum brackets for the rear signals. when I got the bike back, everything was assembled and connected using the custom wire harness adapters I made a while back. Voila!! So that's a project complete. I'm juggling a couple of different ideas in my head for the next change I can make to bring the bike closer to the look of an '82 CB750F. Some items on the list are Exhaust (which i'm doing next spring/summer), side covers (not sure how to do this yet), and a period-correct paint job (ouch expensive). any other suggestions?

I also gave the bike a proper spit shine and header polish, so I took a pic for Peterbaron, who was questioning whether or not you could bring the discolored steel headers of a well ridden CB back to a factory polish. Here you'll see one header treated with Optiglanz and Mothers, and the one next to it only cleaned with traditional cleaners. it makes a world of difference, even after thousands of miles.
Looks good. Curious - How much muscle sweat did you have to exert?
