Re: RZ350
The air box on an RZ incorporates the battery box. To eliminate the air box, I cut the battery box off of it. The battery box gets its front mount from the air box. With the air box gone, I built a bracket to stabilize the front of the battery box.

Re: RZ350
The last set of fairing brackets. It stabilizes the rear of the mid fairing to the frame top tube.

Re: RZ350
Next is the rear lower bracket. I built two stays from 3/4" x 3/4" square tube, welded a nut on the back and tack welded to the frame. I made a bracket similar to the factory FZR brackets by shaving off of the 1"x1" square tube.

Re: RZ350
I have been working on finishing the fairing mid and lower brackets. Lots of fab, lots of fitting. But it is coming along. The first image is the front lower fairing frame stays made out of 1"x1" steel tubing, then tack welded to the frame. The second is the mock up with the lower fairing....

Re: 65 Honda CB77 Super Hawk Barn Find
Basically a tear down, refinish and rebuild. I need to check the engine lubrication as it hasn't been registered since 69 and don't know when it's been run last. But that being said, the oil in the engine right now looks new. I think I could fire it up right now but I don't want to risk seizing it u...

65 Honda CB77 Super Hawk Barn Find
Look what I just bought for $600.. A 1965 Honda CB77 Super Hawk 305. I bought it from a friend of mine that was recently widowed. I made the deal assuming the engine was seized, but to my surprise, the rotating assembly turns and has compression. The forks and rear shocks work and the chain is good....

Re: RZ350
I've been trudging along with this project and thought I would post an update: I have been working on securing the mid fairing to the frame this past weekend. Had to fab some brackets and weld to the frame. Getting things level is the hardest part for me. I bought a really cool Craftsman laser level...

Re: RZ350
I have been working on the steering head the past week. I had to create a different fork stop as the factory stop allowed too much travel, allowing my brake reservoir to hit the gauges. Also had to redesign the steering lock as the factory RZ lock stop didn't mate with the FZR600 top tree lock. As w...
