1968 Cobra rebuild
Some old pics I hadn't put up on my site. Just forgot I guess.
This is my 1968 Cobra project. I had ridden the bike already but had taken it down and used some parts on other bikes, so now it will be put back on the road with a 72 GT750 front end. Slight mods in other places. Using all available good parts and not really going to be a resto.
Hope to get it done for Deal's Gap. I have to get Keith Sutton's 72 GT750 done first. And hope to have some pics of his up here as well soon.

Those are the bushes from Parts n More. They took very little reaming to get the inner bushes to fit properly.
The bars are 72-73 GT750.

Looks pretty whizzy, Eric. Is that the later long-type swingarm or the early short style ?? I just don't know the Cobra as well as I should....

I paid someone to do it. Was in a hurry. Clearcoat over black.deadmeat wrote:Wow Eric, that frame paint does look great! What paint did you use? Did it lay down like that or did you polish it out? Very nice.
