Been Around the Block
Ok, this is only my second build so I'm still very much learning. I couldn't find the info lurkin' and searchin' so I'm askin'...
I picked up a '71 CB750 with the integrated rhino horn guage bracket and it doesn't fit in with my image of what this bike will be, especially with the current clip-ons. At first I was just going to grind it down but then I saw what they are going for on Ebay and figured I better not. I'd like to get a simple billet top triple to replace it BUT all the ones I've found drop the front end of the bike by and inch and a quarter. I'm 6'6, the and I really don't want this bike any shorter. In fact the height is perfect for the look I want as well.
I saw Joker makes a whole triple set, but it's way too blingtacular for my tastes. So do I have any other options? Does anyone make a top triple for a '71 that's simple aluminum but doesn't drop the front end?...or is there a way to replace/extend the fork tubes that isn't hokey so that I could use the aftermarket triples I see? ...or is there another option that I'm just too green to have figured out yet? Thanks.
