My 1980 CB750c Cafe Project

[slategrey66]

Just started the teardown of my 80' CB750c, its off to powdercoating next week, and now i gotta decide on the seat, and if i'm gonna stick with my stock tank. i was thinking of going with the roccity roadracer seat. I also just picked up some CB750K spoke wheels to replace these ugly ass comstars!

here's a couple pictures of the tear down.

I want to swap out my wheels to spoked as well. Can't find anything locally, I need to find a site that sells compatible finished ones or something. I'm too lazy now to do anything myself.

i got both front a rears off of ebay from the matching year cb750k for 75 bucks shipped.

I thought I had notifications for all the dual cam builds but I guess not

I feel your apt pain. Rented a storage unit that gets a little water in it for half off that let me work on bike. Only street parking for me in the city.
