Not much visual progress yet, but lots of time online ordering parts. The motor is pretty much apart and ready for clean up and a new top end.

I am not a huge honda-fan (because "everybody" else is...LOL), but seeing your builds might convert me to get a 750 ;D.

Yeah there are lots of Hondas out there, I do love how you can take the exact same bike and build it to suit endless different styles though.

Yes the bike in the background was one of the first ones we built...a 74K.
