Thanks for the quick response. I have been looking at those exact mufflers for my 77 bmw 75/7.

Love this build. Where did you get your shorty mufflers and how do they sound?

Still open to different ideas. Really like the raw look with the unfinished welds. Might find a local source. Not sure yet.

any recommendations for a muffler?

It's in the tail....

Thanks! It was my 1st build and I learned a lot in the process! I am working on a cl175 for my gf right now. It will be more of a Brat bike though, not really a cafe.

I have added cb750 carbs since that video was made. Still need to figure out some type of muffler as it just isnt running very well with the pods and open headers. Its loud, but I like it. Tires and maybe new shocks in the back will be next.

Here is a video to get a little more detail... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-KfVIfa1YQ&context=C3f87560ADOEgsToPDskIm3sKps-cGVehhdyfZe8M4 Let me know what you guys think.

Mine is a 80 cb650 custom. The cb450 forks fit right in the 650 trees. No mods. Here is the initial inspiration for the build.... I think I got pretty close. Couldnt be happier with the bike.

all together

hand built tail..

Beneli tank, cb450 front forks, shorter rear shocks, and a custom seat give me the stance that I was looking for.

Tear down and clean up process.....
