Been Around the Block
Hey guys! Picked up this 1981 CB750C about a month ago with plans to do a Cafe-ish build. Little did I know that I picked the worst start for a Cafe bike, with it being a C. Nonetheless, it was in quite good condition, being pretty much all original with only 19,XXX miles on it and I picked it up for $850. Carbs were recently done and the previous owner rode it to work and back. It was a 2 owner bike. So, I have a good start. This is my first bike build. I've had two '82 CB650s, but never did much with them. I'm a car guy and that's what I normally build.
Started tearing into it, as seen below. It's just going to be a budget build, that I can cruise around on, to the gym and with my girlfriend on the back.
I spray painted and clear coated a bunch of stuff on it, cut down the stock seat foam and re-wrapped it, sprayed the frame, threw on some cafe handlebars, and a few other things here and there. Waiting on a bunch of parts (All new controls, gauges, lights, etc) to install in the mean time.
Where it's currently sitting at:
Feel free to throw me some comments/criticism. I'd like to know.
