Hello All,

I'm 81CharlieBravo out of Spokane WA. Just bought an 81 CB750C with 30k miles on it for just under $600 last October from a good friend. My plan was to tear it up and bob it, but then my boss smacked me upside the head and showed me Cafe Racer TV, and so Cafe it is! Since I love history and motorcycles and this is a combo of both it suits me just fine. I am pretty green when it comes to bikes and engines and, well, pretty much anything in that area at all and I really want to learn as much as I can and would love to build this into a cool cafe. Any ideas, hints, tips, thoughts, and or direction would be much appreciated. Ive already started doing some research and looking at builders and getting ideas rolling around my head. This will be a lengthy process Im sure so if at all possible. I would like to be able to make mods as I go and still be able to ride it around during the transformation. Anyway, anything helps and I plan on posting a lot during the build and asking a lot of questions. Thanks and look forward to talking with ya.

Welcome, It,s good to see someone from Eastern Wa. on this forum. Good luck, peace and grease!
 
Hi, welcome and good luck with your build.I am glad to see a custom transformed into something else,just never liked all those wannabe choppers from the eighties,even back when they were new.
 
More and more of the DOHC CB750's showing up these days - good starting point and welcome to the forum.

As long as your mods aren't extensive, you should be able to keep it on the road while you do them. It's a good way of not falling into the pit of endless projects filling up your garage. Figure out what you want to do to it first and then one step at a time.
 
welcome! East coast rep!. let me know if you want anything polished on the bike.. starting with the carb covers. !
