HI all,
For years I've wanted to take on a project. So I'm taking the plunge with a 1975 CB750 K5. For starter, the original bike. It runs and was on the road just last year. Having never rebuilt an engine, I wanted to avoid this as much as possible. The bike was brought home early May.
The plan is fairly simple (at least in my mind). Clubman handle bars, change the gauges to something more modern. Change the seat to something that sits directly on the frame, change the exhaust to a 4 in 1 and updating various things like bearings, bushings and electrical and the likes.
The first step is to figure out the seat arrangement and whatever needs to be trimmed or welded. Then complete tear down and send the frame for powder coating.
I hope I'm not trying to bite too much at one time :
