Hello from Seattle with my '81 CB750C

New to the CB scene and have enjoyed tearing into my new project. Miles are higher on the engine, hoping to connect with others in Western Washington who can recommend a good machine shop.

Welcome here wave

I know people in Oregon. What do you need machined?

Member SeanG is in Seattle area, maybe he has info.

Funny! I sent all my CB work down to Ape in LA! I have a guy up here, but he's a Hardley Ableson guy. Rolling Eyes

I've managed to find a guy selling a cylinder head that was just refreshed by Ape but he never got around to installing it. I'd like to get the cylinders honed and crank/rod bearings measured for replacement. I lack the tools to properly measure everything myself.

You might try Jim Sawtell "JES Built" in Sandy, Oregon (~160 miles from you) if you don't want to send stuff.
