hey guys,thought i'd show some pics of my bike.just won first place in my category at the gastown show and shine on aug.16/09.now i can focus on riding it.
 
the frame is a '74 cb750,motor is mostly a k4 with the 836 kit ,wiseco pistons etc.most everything else is a mix of other parts or one off.
 
thanks very much.ok ,heres the deal ,i understand your from oz;how about during our respective winters we swap places.i hate rain and snow,i love australia,and we can check out each others bikes. good deal huh.
 
Have you been Down Under?

Funny that you should suggest the swap, as it so happens, Vancouver is on my "Must Visit" List! I don't care what time of year I go...Winter would be low season to travel I'm guessing & I have family in Seattle so I could visit them too....

Why would you come visit here in Winter, come in Summer...Beach, BBQ & Beer! I have a big 4x4 which we take out onto the beach. The riding is great here too...down the coast on a Pub Hop....and while you are here, you can help me finish my 200 Twin!

Are you still wanting to come visit? Bring on Summer ;D
 
what i meant to say was,during my winter i head there and vice versa,yadayada yada.any way one of these days wifey and i are goin to make the trip.i've always had the impression that the lifestyles in southern british columbia and the sydney area are pretty similar,we do a lot of 4x4'n,boating(wake boarding etc),and to be honest you could ride all year long with our mild winters.so there ,hows that for a travel guide.good luck with the 200 .
 
I understood the trade off of winters but I thought Summer is a much better season to visit Oz. Winter sux!

Not a bad comparison.. If you like British Columbia, you should like Sydney.....(not wanting to talk it up)
My wife is a travel agent & we have seen a fair chunk of the U.S but have still to venture into Canada...we would love to also visit Alaska....

Whenever you decide to travel "Down Under", maybe you should let us Aussies know & we could all catch up.. Do The Ton. There are a few of us within a close radius of Sydney!
 
the tank and seat pan are fiberglass and from airtech.wish they were hand bashed aluminum but my skills are pretty lame;still there was a fair bit of modifying to do.was going to paint it a ferrari red,but once i saw a 2008 dodge viper,i thought yeah baby.i still may go for something different as a tank graphic though.instead of the sticker maybe something similar painted with silverleaf since the frame is silver.what do you guys think. chris

Here are some links I found for exhaust chambers for thr GT750. I have no idea as to their current status and/or availability, as I have not contacted any of these dealers. I know some systems are $$$$$. I figure the chambers will be the final addition and the most expensive upgrade.

Anyway, hope this is useful to your friend...good luck!

Looking forward to seeing some pics...I will do the same. Have your friend PM me when things get started..perhaps we could share some ideas/suggestions/experiences.
