I love the craftsmanship, but I have to say this because I owned one. If that is a 68-69 K1 CB450 they only made 6000 of them. Would be worth way more to restore it. I know it's your bike and your choice. But the reason I sold mine is because I wanted something I could cut up and still be able...

I live in sacramento!

Re: Vinnie's CB750 Cafe build - ASSEMBLY!!! Thanks guys, this bike has definitely been a humbling experience. Everything that could...did. If you catch my drift.

Sorry for the lack of updates, vendor issues and laziness has frustrated me. So the bike is just getting slapped back together for the riding season. It will be fully painted this next winter. Until then I am just going to ride. Better pics will come after the bike is completely back...

Re: 73 CB200 straight up Cafe racer!! "Smokey"??!! I did it on a CL175 project, first bike ever back in the day. It's not too difficult and can be done quite easily; Only needs patience. http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-wheels/spoke-wheels/

WOW. This is what I am talking about. Your attention to detail on the cowl nothing short of amazing. It looks like it belongs on this bike and it ties the bike completely together. Not just a set of bolted on components. Brilliant man. Keep it up!

From what I've seen 360's can be turned into a pretty cool ride. Don't let the wiring scare you, these are old girls with just the basics to get along. Incase you don't want to wait for the manual: Remember green is ground and black is hot. I cannot stress how important a good ground is...

Re: CB360 Project: Lucky 7even! ( Getting close April 12/10 ) Digging it! Very clean looking. Kudos man kudos.

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated. I am 2 1/2 months into the rebuild, and really trying to keep a solid progress going. This weeks goals: Fab up the oil tank brackets. (Final frame fabrication!) Clean up the frame, and send it out for powder coating. Drop the seat off at the upholsterers...

Re: She may not be the prettiest girl... I like the paint ideas running through your head. Although at this point I would focus more on the lines of the bike. Paint is the icing on the cake. Maybe make sure the cowl compliments the lines of the tank. That way it looks thought out, like if...

Thanks Ian! Yes the 35mm the diameter of my cb750's fork tubes. There is enough to travel lock to lock on my new setup. The clip-ons reduced the amount of travel I had before (Due to them hitting the tank) So the damper is acting as my lock to lock stops, which stops the bars less than a 1/4...

@fastcat14 Thanks, I am trying. This is my first time attempting anything this in depth. @thompsonmx100 I feel your paranoia :) I made sure everything is extra clean, and I'm sure I'll octuple check again before assembly. @Firestarter Thank you very much. I am going to paint the cowl and tank...

Ordered the 50 over kit from cycleX today! excited.

Not sure, just used what ever they had. It was about the same size as the soda I was shooting originally. I upgraded the studs because I've heard it's hard to get the correct torque on old worn out studs. I had the money so I figured what the hell. I am glad I did, there is a big difference...

Steering damper showed up today!

Re: 73 CB200 straight up Cafe racer!! "Smokey"??!! Great job on the engine and wheels, looking forward to assembly

Re: Super Happy Fun Time cl350 Nice choice going with the silver. I love me some hondas dressed in silver.

Update: The engine case, I spent hours today cleaning and prepping the case for paint. Tedious work but it's all in the details. The onto the cylinder head...I ran into a problem. Soda blasting is great except for one glaring issue. If you have oil on the part you are trying to clean it will...

Re: 79 GS550 and 74 CB750 They should fit pretty easily. I'd say try putting them on the right way. I am not sure about performance. I am nearly positive that oil reservoir was made to be a certain way up. Personal opinion: If I saw someone with shocks installed upside down I would think they...

Re: 79 GS550 and 74 CB750 I'll buy those off of you if they are not "modified" to work with your bike. I have a CB750 that I would like to put them one
