CB750K7 Cafe Racer Build

[Steve-E]

Nice tank very nice build.
I assume it was built by either Tab Classics or The Tank Shop (maybe Holtworks) I can't understand why you should want to keep it a secret though.
I've heard of one guy that ordered 2 tanks from The Tank Shop, paid in full, then had to wait for 2 years for them to be delivered.
I have had 6 alloy tanks made by a company in Colchester (moto-tanks.co.uk) and have been very happy with their work.

There's also a company in Canada that looks like it does great work but the quote I ended up with was pretty high up there. 10 week turnaround though. I'm just browsing around.

Withers... could you tell me which company here in Canada is fabbing tanks? I live in Ontario and am currently shopping around for two café tanks.. I am still undecided what style but want to see options..

Thanks,
HR

Hi y'all. Got a little time to do stuff today so built the seat top and bottom sub-frames. The seat will go for upholstery tomorrow & I've decided against that diamond black with the white stitching so we'll have to see what else we can come up with?

Frame fabrication should be finished this weekend so that'll get painted next week and then we are full throttle to get the bike finished by the 2nd week in April.

Anyone fancy a ride out?

Get some rubber bushings between the seat sub-frame and the bike frame - save your butt

Indeed. My bony a**s needs all the comfort it can get. I'm fixing neoprene to the underside of the plywood so the whole thing is cushioned. I was going to start with 3mm but may end up with 6mm. Might work? I'll put up an image once it's finished.
