Hi Rocco. I have an old Honda cb750 supersport Boesman. It belongs to a client and he decided to abandon the project. It already has Gsxr front end and 17 inch spoke wheels. Some parts missing (carbs and wiring)but the motor looks clean and solid. Owner is in Joberg but bike with me in Cape...

He also requested a small rack in the place of the pillion seat. Made up a billet ally rack that slots into the old bracket for the pillion seat. Also modified the tailpiece to mount another two small motogadget indicators. We are also ditching the big rear fender and Ive made up a thinner fender.

Client wanted bar end indicators as well as bar en mirrors so we went with the little Motogadgets and a special fitting that I turned up. Still waiting on the mirrors to arrive.

Then it came to fitting the Renthal style fat bars. Made up new risers and also had them ceramic coated. The rims and hubs ceramiced and the spokes nickel plated and assembled. Also the headlight glass was broken and the light rim damaged so those were replaced and the bowl of the light black...

Client has spent quite a few hours riding around and seems as if there are no issues with it touching. It was a concern though.

Thanks Mr Fuzzy.. :thumleft:

Thanks for the great pics Mr Teebag. :thumleft:

All done. Some custom cnc routed badges arriving tomorrow for the final touch. She leaves for her new home in George on Wednesday.

Made up a bracket to hold the breather pipe with a small filter on the other side to collect oil vapor. Also a little drip tray to collect oil drops and can be cleaned as part of servicing.

Indeed it is Joe... :thumleft: I must give credit to Donovan of Beaming Motorcycles in George for the work on the motor. I'm only involved in the other custom work. Freek busy with the paint on the tank.

Thanks Poffmuis. They are Motogadget.
