I haven’t posted in a while here goes.So my bike is a early CNW build
# 012.I have been the steward of this 71 750 for 20+ years…I feel really lucky and am grateful that I get to enjoy this machine. Had a storage issue and was forced to keep the bike in a enclosed trailer for….longer than it should’ve .
I have been working on undoing what the weather did and I hate to say it…my bad choices.I had the usual suspects that needed attention…fluids…new brake master cylinder..some not so friendly stubborn fasteners. I found a defective LED tail-stop light…that required a bit of engineering as the company that made the light conversion is long gone. I gutted the taillight housing and fabricated a way to mount a complete new light fixture from amazon…wired up simple and better than before. I had to clean and polish all the brite work…a ton of work but worth the effort. I have several body kits for this bike…the stock roadster with the paint and graphics ( see it on the
CNW website in the gallery..find
012 and you’ll see it) the black anodized primary cover has since been swapped out for a super polished one. I also have a nice metal I-state tank…I didn’t come up with the idea…I just copied it.
It is the “interback”…fastback tail and seat with I-state tank and side panels…I have been collecting stuff for the bike for years and as you all know..the bike can be converted to any of the combos.I also have the Long range tank. I can do it in about 90 minutes taking my time
I’m going to set it up with the OE body work. I have “rebonded” with my trusty ole norton annnnd
I found a complete Kehin flatside carb kit…brand new in the box i found a complete rear set kit CNW…I felt like id just invented the wheel when I uncovered this stash.
I hope to keep you guys informed of my progress
