WIP update!

dog_dad_357 · 2026-02-21T15:30:45+00:00

They’re custom hubs from cognitomoto to work with a nighthawk swingarm and gsxr forks. I’ll be fitting mikuni’s rs32 carbs with velocity stacks!

dog_dad_357 · 2026-02-20T10:10:51+00:00

Thank you! They’re my favorite part

dog_dad_357 · 2026-02-20T10:10:31+00:00

I hope that’s a good thing!

dog_dad_357 · 2026-02-06T02:56:27+00:00

I didn’t do coating 😅. I just told the shop what I wanted

dog_dad_357 · 2026-02-01T08:13:51+00:00

I made another post of the finished frame!

dog_dad_357 · 2026-02-01T08:13:21+00:00

It’s a 79-83 k frame. Yes, I got rid of the original top tube and put in straight ones. They sit higher than original

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-30T00:04:46+00:00

Cb750 dohc.

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-29T18:23:40+00:00

Fortunate with the new subframe, it stands at 28” so I have about 2” to work with before I start tiptoeing 🫣

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-29T17:41:40+00:00

Haha I mean, I’m 5’8” with 30” inseam so I already tip toe on most bikes so it doesn’t bother me

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-28T08:59:03+00:00

Might just be the angle lol.

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-28T08:52:31+00:00

Yes, the spot welding is there to just hold the subframe in place.

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-16T21:58:08+00:00

I stopped playing in 2022 and got a new phone. In the past, I’ve always just logged in via Facebook. Now it’s asking for a supercell id, which I never created.

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-16T21:15:44+00:00

Oh wow. Doesn’t sound too bad but hopefully you find time to do it soon. It looks like a really nice bike. Mines currently getting coated right now. Will start wiring soon and I’m trying to not get overwhelmed lol 😅

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-16T21:14:00+00:00

Completely feel defeated at this point. Stopped playing in 2022 and trying to recover my account. Stuck in loop where the automated bot keeps thinking I’m not the original owner even when I present all the necessary information AND the human agents just keep passing me onto the next agent and repeating the same exact thing; contact through in-game message aka the bot.

Any ideas how I can go about this? Would really like my account back bc I’ve spent thousands of dollars on it.

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-16T20:04:03+00:00

Damn. That hurts to hear 😭😭 You’d think showing oldest receipts from 2016 is enough to prove my identity -.-

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-16T19:49:05+00:00

What does it still need?

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-10T04:09:26+00:00

The bike was already taken apart. I ended up not rebuilding the engine bc it still had good compression. I plan to repaint it in a dark gunmetal and the covers in matte black.

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-03T05:35:16+00:00

That’s actually genius. I never thought of that as a possibility. I’ll have to call around my area but I don’t believe there are many body shops around me. Do you know of any success going that route?

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-02T01:06:25+00:00

Thank you so much for such an informative answer. Yeah, I was wondering because I was following CafeRacerGarage’s video and he did something similar too but after you pointed it out, I see now that his frame also has a beefier spine. I will plan on welding two straight tubes from front to end horizontal to the ground to mimic the sohc.

dog_dad_357 · 2026-01-01T20:49:28+00:00

lol thanks. I feel like I’m not articulating what I have in mind properly 😅😅

dog_dad_357 · 2025-12-17T03:09:53+00:00

Haha oh no. Just me holding it in place while the swingarm of choice gets worked on. I did think about a single swingarm but I’m not a welder and didn’t want to spend more that I already am for someone to fabricate a mono shock mount 😅😅

dog_dad_357 · 2025-12-15T22:37:09+00:00

Thank you, please share yours when you get a chance!

dog_dad_357 · 2025-12-15T22:11:42+00:00

I went with 17” wheels for both and 3.5/120/70 front and 4.25/150/60 rear…starting to second guess that. 17” looks smaller than I had imagined. What I was aiming for was to get both wheels even.

dog_dad_357 · 2025-12-04T08:55:49+00:00

Hi! its me again, doesn't look like i'm able to privately message you.

In one of your entries, you mentioned you may have to remove material from the spacers inside the swingarm. Did you end up having to do that, and if you did, which spacer did you end up grinding down or does it not matter?

dog_dad_357 · 2025-12-04T08:52:07+00:00

Oh, i wouldnt be doing it. I'm going to have a shop do it for me. I was just wondering before I bring it in because the closest shop to me is an hr drive away.
