Sorry guys, I never had the chance to get up a build thread while i was workin on her...
Picked up a 1980 CB750k and had every intention of doing a simple restoration so that i had a 2-up for the wife and I. Luckily, she knows i woulda never been happy on something with a fairing and luggage bags. So last winter i got told to build another Cafe. Damn, it felt good to be back in the game!
I still have a few bugs left to work out, and then its on to working on more HP. Here she is, my 1980 CB750, "Home Wrecker"
What i started with:
rebuilt motor from bottom up:
what she's become today:
Ignore the broken speedo, its been replaced since this pic was taken
custom machined rearsets( sure comes in handy being a machinist )
dont think i could have lived with myself if i didnt replace that ugly fuse block cover. thought about just relocating it all, but this gave me a little more chance to make her my own:
battery box/ electronics rack
