Everyone's a comedian. Don't give him ideas. He's only about block down the street from me so he'll get to see/hear it enough to ward off the separation anxiety.

So that pretty much brings us up to date. The headlight has been painted to match the tank, rearsets are going on as we speak, the wiring has been tucked away, and a few other things are going still being done. I know I've posted what feels like a ton today consider this is my first time to...

We'd talked and talked about different options for the seat. We finally settled on doing a leather, stitched seat. We ran down to the local leather store (not as exciting as some leather stores I'd been to) and found a couple pieces we liked. We couldn't decide which we liked and they were both...

Uncountable hours went into getting the tank finished and ready to paint. I think Freeride could go the rest of his life and not touch another gas tank. New rear wheel and spokes, laced a little smarter with experience JT front and rear sprocket D.I.D 525 Pro-Street VX X-Ring chain Bridgestone...

After the inside of the tank was painstakingly finished. The loooong journey of the outside of the tank was underway. Here it is with the following new parts: Mini-gauges from Dime City Rear shocks from PartsNMore Fork gaiters Dual Front Rotors Fabricated rotor-to-hub adapter OEM front wheel...

After stripping the donor tank, I cut it in half so we could lengthen it by 3". After welding in the extension, Freeride hammered in the knee indents. He also bent and welded up an angled rear hoop. For the rear cover, he cut off the back end of a 650 tank, cut out a section down the middle...

Once we got the engine pretty much buttoned up, we moved on to the rest of the bike. The forks were shot, the rear shocks were wrong (eye to eye instead of clevis) and too short, and the list goes on. The tank and seat weren't the look I was going for so I traded them to Freeride in exchange for...

I decided on a black, gray, and gold paint scheme for the engine.

With everything removed and cleaned, the next step was deciding what to put back in. The decision: Almost everything. We kept the crankshaft and gears plus a few small parts but everything else went in new. I used Cycle X for the cam, chain, pistons, valves, springs, etc. Freeride did a...

With all the internals removed, I sandblasted the case, painted the outside, and lined the inside with Glyptal. After I finished the Glyptal, freeride came back after me and actually did it the right way. I'm not as incompetent as it sounds but you wouldn't know it to work with me sometimes...

After taking the head off and seeing even more of the bike, we thought it would be best to go ahead and crack the case open and see exactly what we were dealing with. Freeride's garage is way more equipped than mine to deal with the effort so I threw the engine in the back of the Bronco and...

Re: Re: 1976 CB750 - First...everything Thanks Rich! We've been working on it off and on for over a year. It still isn't finished but I wanted to go ahead and get a build thread started. I'm going to put up a few posts today to outline each section

After pushing the bike into the garage, it sat for quite a while as I was working on another eternal project, my 1976 Ford Bronco. I finally got around to getting started on the bike and freerideordie stopped by the house to take a look. And a laugh. Little did I know that I was the new owner of...

Hey guys. I've been on the site for about a year and a half now but haven't really been involved, unfortunately. Since I was young, I've always loved the look and idea of classic anything. Cars, music, clothes, and bikes. Last year, I found a semi-local guy with a chopped '76 CB750 that he was...

Hey guys. New member from Tulsa, Ok here. I picked up a rough '76 CB750 last night that I'm really excited about. I'm new to bikes so I'm a little over my head with one that doesn't run but I'm looking forward to learning. Any locals willing to help a noob would be more than welcome First step...
