    Hey all, im in need of some references or links to articles that will help me fabricate a seat pan for my CB750F. Its a stepped design in the frame and I want to keep it that way, I think it looks pretty nice. I heard fiberglass and metal mesh is the way to go, and this will be a first time...

    Found a 1981 DOHC CB750C or K, absolutely beautiful 11k original... to buy or n

    The owner says he is very open to offers. Honestly I was thinking something like 600. Although, doing a mobile compression test sounds like the best option, but the bike is 4-5 hours from where I live. One way. The reason I was all giggity about it was that the owner consistently makes...

    1980 CB750F for $180, modern suspension and upgrades for a cafe racer build

    Well, I went with paint. VHT Cast Iron Gray for the main enginr body, and Rustoleum Professional series Truck Bed Liner for the pulse cover, clutch cover and rotor cover. Looks fantastic. I painted most each parts separate, then installed them all and buttoned the engine up. Turns out I...

    1980 CB750F for $180, modern suspension and upgrades for a cafe racer build

    Its on my list of post rolling mods. Right now priorities are focused on budget and getting it ready to ride. Some of the real race experienced CBF builders ive talked to say that in my stock engine ill have absolutely no issues having the engine painted. But believe me, I want that cooler...

    1980 CB750F for $180, modern suspension and upgrades for a cafe racer build

    In my head I think it looks good, especially with the polished stainless engine dress bolts. Now my imaginations got me going again, I am looking in to Monstaliner. Its a huge hit in my Jeep crew community as being the best roll on bedliner/ paint out there, along with having the largest...

    1980 CB750F for $180, modern suspension and upgrades for a cafe racer build

    I emailed VHT last week, they finally got around to answering me. I inquired the best product and the application process for an air cooled engine, and they stated that the VHT engine Enamel would be the best option, and with proper prep work a primer is not needed. So, it looks like I'm...

    1980 CB750F for $180, modern suspension and upgrades for a cafe racer build

    Well its too late for the pistons not being cleaned, they each got a couple days soak in the chemdip, and all the carbon wiped off. Planning on a simple green ultrasonic clean on them before install too just to make sure the ring grooves are completely cleaned. I have decided NOT to polish ANY...

    1980 CB750F for $180, modern suspension and upgrades for a cafe racer build

    Got the Pistons out, and crankcase split. That was absolutely horrible because I left the alternator rotor attached until the case came apart, then realized that it's not gonna come apart with that rotor still on. Lots of scraped and bleeding knuckles, a shot of fine ass tequila and some...

    Frame is still sitting in the shop, my CL175 forks got ruined while attempting seal replacements, and my Jeep contracted Death wobble... next step? Begin the engine disassembly on my CB to keep positive. So, I've started the engine disassembly. Everything's looking pretty solid so far, I...

    1980 CB750F for $180, modern suspension and upgrades for a cafe racer build

    Yeah I was playing with ideas of having rearsets, but decided against. I actually like long distance rides, and my girl likes to two up along, so.id need the passenger pegs anyways. This F model will be a bit different because I am planning on fabricating an easy removal sissy bar for packing...
