Re: 1980 cb 750c Need input That's the guy from vietnam, right? There's a few posts on here about those seats.

Joe, will you guys strip an exhaust header? I know some places don't want the carbon deposits in their tanks.

I hate the air forks on my 900. I need to change out the springs and go with a heavier oil for next season.

Do you have any programming experience? I work for an industrial automation firm, and we had a guy who was going to train to be a robot programmer (which is what I do) but he left because his old company made a ridiculous offer to bring him back. Don't have to know how to program robots, you...

there's also something to be said about the carb bank pulling from a common air source. Something that can't be achieved using pods.

Re: 1980 cb 750c Need input Something I just noticed is that it looks like you have the Cycle-X 4-2-1 header with the unbaffled exhaust tip. That's a $360 piece of kit. Nice score. http://www.cyclexchange.net You should be able to put a slip-on on there to replace that tip, no problem.

Re: 1980 cb 750c Need input DOHCs will make a better brat or bobber, IMHO. Take a look at Brat Style, Wrench Monkees or Cafe Racer Dreams bikes to see what I'm talking about. They've all made DOHC bikes that look fantastic. Unless you're a skilled fabricator or don't mind spending a lot on...

Joe, do you sandblast and powder coat frames too?

no worries. shit happens.

let's all just take a few steps back and breathe. there's no reason this thread had to devolve like this. the guy just asked a simple question.

Why does it always have to be an argument?

Valuing custom vehicles is tricky. It doesn't follow any sort of standard model, because the value is not always the sum of the parts. Sometimes it can be more, and sometimes it's less. That being said, I don't think $3-$4k is unreasonable. It would cost somebody that much to do it themselves...

wipe off the blood and strip it naked

Oh hell yeah... that's a sweet bike.

good call. I was about to post this.

If you can get one at a good price, and it's what you want, go for it... It's still a good bike. Tons of parts available for it and lots of knowledge to go around. http://forums.sohc4.net/ is a great resource.

maybe I'll catch hell for this but whatever... I think the sohc cb750 is over valued at the moment. I think there are good offerings from yamaha, suzuki and kawasaki in that displacement and age range that will be cheaper. If I had to do it over again, I probably wouldn't have gone with a DOHC...

not if it's that $50k santiago one, for sure...

this thread was... interesting. With all that being said, I would not kick a norley out of bed.

Kinda how I am feeling right now... I wish I could trade in my civic for a golf like my wife's. Japanese cars have been good to me, but german cars are more fun.
