Live, breath, sleep HONDA!
Some of you may remember the demise of my baby this past May resulting in the dismantling of what remained of my bike and acquiring some new hardware in my hip.
Well things have returned to pretty much normal status again. My good friend Art has given me a reason to rebuild my bike, of which I can not refuse.
Here is her new back bone. A 1972 CB750K frame modified for drag racing. The modifications include center tube sub-support relocation to allow the valve cover to be removed with out engine removal. Also a custom aluminum racing tank which holds just over a gallon of fuel and is super light, less than a pound, with quick twist fasteners at the tree and an aircraft petcock. Passenger foot peg mounts have also been removed.
New back bone
I plan to install a set of later model bearings and races to accommodate a cb750F front end with dual disk brakes. Also in my possession I have a new set of TT drag headers and mag wheels. The power house of my bike will be the engine from my previous racer. I also plan to stick with the orange and black color scheme with polished aluminum elements.
TT Pipes
The power house:
This will be the 3rd and final time I will build this bike. I intend to take my time with no finish date in mind and really go all out on the details. I don't plan on this being a daily rider but more a show piece or a testament of what I have learned and the skills I have developed over the years in this hobby. I hope to include the help and suggestions of friends along the way.
