My CB750F cafe racer build

[cborders]

Here is my project 1978 cb750 F. Its taken me two years off and on but its finally so close to being done.
Started out as an old, neglected bike laying behind a guys house. I stripped it down to the frame, rewelded all the welds, removed extra brackets, modified the tail.

Added knee indents to the stock tank, sealed it, and had a friend hand letter the tanks.

Built a custom rear fender and frenched an LED taillight.

Replace shocks, tires, signals, mirrors, bars, cables, grips, etc. Rebuilt brake calipers, added stainless lines and newer mastercylinder off a GSXR.
Shot some paint, built a custom seat, rewired it, rebuilt and jetted the carbs. All that is left is fine tune the carbs now that it is getting warm enough to ride regularly.

Nice bike man. I am working on a 77cb750f.

I LOVE those F models with the Com Stars! Nice work!!!

But what's up with the tank? I doesn't look like it's sitting level. Looks like it's sitting right in the first few pics...

The hand-lettered Honda script is my favorite touch! Nice job!

Yes the tank doesn't sit level- I had so much trouble with the 78 carbs I switched to a set of 76 carbs. The brackets for the throttle cables comes off differently so I had to raise the rear of the tank to clear it. I don't like it as much but it was that or have it run like crap (if it wanted to run at all).
Anyone put a set of these carbs on that can tell me any tricks to make it work without raising the tank?

I hate to hear that, my '78 is expecting to sport a set of '76 carbs. Let me know if your work it out before I get to that point.

Hello there,
I am looking to make a similar seat with the tail light. Where did you get the light and how did you secure it in the tail section?
