Wrench weekend

Carburetor solution: As mentioned earlier, I had some carburetor problems. After installing the CV carburetor everything went better and I thought that I just had to change the jet and make a few adjustments. But it turned out that no matter what I did, it wasn't good enough!
After a lot of troubles I ended up installing a Dellorto carburetor, the bike starts easy and runs very good now.
After the installation of the Dellorto carburetor I just had to figure out a way to install the aircleaner, but together with my father we found a sulution. (no pictures at the moment)

Wing nuts:
I had promised myself that I would not put anymore brass at the bike, but in the end of the fender struts I had installed stainless acorn nuts, and it looked very modern, so I decided to Install two brass wing nuts I got from a guy named Rolf, thanks body !
















I had a few oil leaks at the bike and some clutch issues witch is also corrected now, that means I will soon be riding the bike all over the country.

Carburetor

Last weekend I adjusted the Ignition and started the Ironhead, It starts very easy and sounds very good. Unfortunatly I wasn't able to turn off the choker of the Edelbrock carburetor, without cutting off the engine as well. I tried to make a lot of adjusting, but I didn't get a good result. This forced me to the decition of installing another carburetor to see how that works.

This weekend I installed a Keihin CV carbretor instead, this time with much better results ! but it's still not perfect. I'll try to install a fresh set of condenser and contactors in the magneto, to se if I can make it run more smooth.

Cat eye

The glass of my tail light is not approved as a reflector, for that reason I have Installed a red refector or "cat eye" at the rear stand of the Ironhead. It's a nice little detail I think : )

More Honda CB 750

Instead of the CB 750 K4 my father just sold, he bought this beautiful Honda CB 750 K5, with just 10.427 miles on the clock! That is a difference of 30.000 miles!


Compared to the old one, this one got the original paintjob, original exhaust, original seat, nice wheels and so on, and so on.. In Denmark you don't see a unrestored K5 in this good condition anywhere else.

Mmm



Bobber

The Ironhead is almost finish.
Today I installed the hook for the rear stand, it works perfedt and looks really cool. After that I installed the gas tank correctly with the gas lines in the correct position.
The ignition is now correctly installed which allowed med to installe the carburator, airclener and engine top mount correctly.
That means all that is left is a red reflector "cat eye" on the rear stand, adjustment of the cable for the clutch and some really small snacks before the bike is all done.

I added oil and gosoline and tried to start the bike, but the timing of the ignition is not correct yet, I will try again thursday.

Primary transmission

Due to a fucked needle bearing in the clutch, I haven't been able to assembly the primary transmission, the left hand floor board and the rear brake push/ pull rods untill now, but sweet jesus it looks good :)
Tomorrow I'll poste pictures of all of the bike.
