CB750 Oil Filter Adapter

     We have 9 remaining oil filter adapters from a small production run. Finish off that CB750 winter project by cleaning up the stock filter! This easy thread on adapter eliminates the ugly basket on the front of your SOHC motor. It provides male 13/16"-16 threads allowing you to use off the shelf oil filters.

     $50 each shipping included. First come first served. PayPal me at dmiklich@kent.edu. As always, made in the USA!

Ignore last years road grime and notice how sexy this setup is.

Spit's XS650 Hard Tail - David Bird Style

     Amidst the yellowish tint of the shop is Clint's (Spit) XS650 frame. This is my first experience installing a David Bird rigid frame kit. I have to say it is very well thought out and super easy to fit up. The welds from David's kit look great and the segments were nice and square right from the crate. It doesn't get much easier to make a huge impact with your chopper project. Granted, the variables on forty year old Japanese frames leave much to be desired, there's plenty of forgiveness built into the kit. Here's some shots of the finished frame. What do ya think?

Lowbrow Customs offers two types for the XS, Straight (like this one) and Looped.
