Hell yes, I'll take it. PM me!

First off, Its 3am and I have work at 8am. This is my first bike build and its the most addicting drug I have ever encountered. Its all I ever think about!!! Moving on, I have seen a few variations on switching out the swing arms of cb750s and just saw the kz1000 swing arm on a...

Off topic but, sweet oil tank!! Where is that from?

Hey, I am looking for a 1978 CB750 seat pan. I am don't need anything in perfect condition. Wanting to modify the tray to fit the bike so anything will do. Thanks! -Trey

Alright, I have been talking with several fabricators and have lots of interest but it will cost quite a bit. So, I need to sort out a few issues before I think about dumping what little money I have. Would this cause vapor lock? If so, wouldn't the vent tube help eliminate this problem...

Amazing thread!!!!!! I haven't been turning up much on this subject until I found this thread! YAAYYYYYY!! t71ford -- Thanks for doing all the footwork on this one because it really opens quite a few more doors to the versatility in my build right now. Awesome. Have you performed any...

Do you think the gas tank is thin enough to still provide enough productive heat transfer if, the oil tank was placed at the front of the tank? Kong-- I have been looking at those big twin tanks for choppers and like the concept. Naturally, the tank would still be in one piece but with the...

Ok, after some more reading I don't think autoignition of the fuel would be a problem. I looked up the MSDS on several fuels and they all have an autoignition around 500F. Also, if I built two bulkheads to create an air gap between the two tanks then it would buffer the heat transfer, if...

Hey, I am looking to relocate the oil tank of a '78 CB750F into the rear portion of the fuel tank. I read this once as an off handed comment in the SOHC forum and have heard this done on choppers. Thinking that I can take a band saw down the rear portion, replicate original tank assembly...

haha great short movie. Nice post.

The tank looks amazing!!! Great job on keeping the lines of the tank with out having to do an knee dents or major mods!!! Wow. Anymore pics on that process? And, that isn't the stock gas cap is it?? Any advice on how to replicate your great work?

Thanks for all the responses and great explanations!! They guy has been sketchy through the entire process and I didn't even go see the bike. I gave him a call back, we talked about the VIN ordeal and then he proceeded to tell me about another array of problems with the CDI and starter, which...

So, would a mechanics lean be my next option?? I have zero experience nor do I know what that really is. Also, do you think riveting on a makeshift VIN would be acceptable?? I love this bike and its a great price but this VIN deal is a huge hangup... Thanks for the help so far!

Hey, I am about to drive 3 hours to hopefully pick up a '78 CB750f on Sunday. But, the owner just said the VIN was sandblasted off when the frame was powdercoated. Is the VIN imprinted into the frame or is it tacked onto a tag on the bike, like a car??? Is there another way to verify the...

Thanks for all the great advice!! So I have narrowed all this info into one concise question. Should I wait until I find the perfect bike (all the while dying inside because I can't build) or buy an ok bike and have to spend a few more hours and cash??? What would you do??

Sick idea! Will you have a padded seat or just straight sheet metal for the seat?

So, here is my thought process... I am 6'6'' and 218lbs and only getting bigger. I am looking for a bike that I can ride without visually dwarfing and making it look like a childs toy. I have been looking at the cb750s because of the ease of fabrication since this will be my first bike...

Hey, I have been browsing the forum for months and learning tons. I want to begin a cafe build with a CB750K but they are impossible to find in my area or over priced. Should I keep waiting or move towards a bike that would need some serious fab work (cb750f cb900)?? Wait for a decent...
