1970 CB750 Tracker Build

Hey all,

Recently picked up this 1970 CB750. Ordered a new gasket kit, brake caliper rebuild kit, carb rebuild kit, etc and tools from partsnmore. I will be doing all of the work that I can do inside of my apt (conveniently located on the second floor ).

First item on the agenda is to build a work bench and clear space out in my extra room.

Best,
Alex

At the shop where the guy from craigslist left it at

Next to my daily in my apt complex with the windscreen and saddlebags removed

From bare wall to workbench. The calm before the storm of parts that will cover just about everything as I go on.

Getting it up there in pieces I can see. Getting the assembled bike back down is going to be fun. Good luck with this, I will be following along. I am doing a build in a shed smaller than your room, but it is at ground level.

haha, I will probably assemble it downstairs too. I need a stool down there though, because my back is killing me.



I started disassembly yesterday and saw that whoever had it before, never replaced the frame rails after removing them!! :-[


Also, the right bracket on the top triple tree was cracked and you can see it if you look closely (It came off with the bolt)


So, here is how she sits, waiting for more money and parts to be thrown at her


Any suggestions for the frame rails? I'm thinking about the gordon kit i've read about
I am also looking for a top triple tree (I am indifferent to whether it has a mount for gauges or not, I like the aluminum one at dimecitycycles without the Honda logo)

I will be continuing the build on sohc4
