    Looking for advice regarding an upcoming purchase

    Yeah I mean it may be a museum quality bike and that could merit the price but your not gonna use it for that. Keep checkin craigslist, and youll find a nice smaller cc cb or similar for way less. Never been ridden isnt always better either. if someone is riding it now, you know everything is...

    the shocks where purely cosmetic, for now at least. I would eventually like to do a mono rear conversion, or get one of carpy's boxed swing arms and some nice shocks, but i dont know enough nor do i have the money tree grown that tall yet lol. this is taking priority over the swing arm simply...

    Front end swap questions...

    Thanks for the info. I understand more now. Anyone done a front end swap on doch cb750? I believe my forks are roughly 31 in from cap to axel center, uncompressed, but on my bike i have them pushed up around 2 inches to level the bike, as i have shorter rear shocks. Any one know of a place to...

    1979 CB750k "bones"

    thanks spalding. I believe my tire is like 130/90-18 or 130/80-18 one of the two for sure. I kind of wish i would have gone with a slightly wider tire. I dont think much if any fab would need to be done, and it would ride and look even sweeter ;D

    1979 CB750k "bones"

    I couldnt slide the forks up at first becuase the tops of the tubes hit the bars. But luckly the guy i bought it from was tryin to make it a choper and had some up and back bar risers.

    Let me see your tail section with lights

    Man some of these lights are freakin sweet!. I love the carbide lamps, just a really awsome look. the old ford light is cool as well. I strongly considered red lensed blinkers or clear lenses with red bulbs/leds. I found this thing at cyclegear, and thought it would work out a bit different...

Im runnin clubman bars and with the original routing of my cables, my throttle was baisicly unuseable. i just ran them out and around in the most gradual curves possible and everythings silky smooth now. I might even go as far as to say the throttle is smoother and snaps...
