CB750 Cafe Build

[biker_reject]

Cool! Welcome, fellow DOHC'er. Good to see another '79+ CB being converted. I have to ask where you found that hot dog can? I've been searching high and low for something just like that. Good luck with the build. Lookin' good.

Great work so far.

Im really liking this build so far! Especially cool to see a 16 year old getting into this too. I wish id been more into bikes at that age, cause young is the best time. Good luck and can't wait to see a finished corner eater!

you either touch a hot pipe and burn yourself or touch the wrap and get glass all in your hands eventhough i soaked it.

Cheers, i just bought it from the local exhaust shop, 40 bucks, cant wait to hear how it sounds.
I was going to buy a cherrybomb hotdog from your side of the world but i went this way instead.

close, its an xc but it only has a 6 in it doesnt mean a v8 cant go in though

Exhaust looks nice, what kind of paint did you use?

These carbs dont like anything but the OEM box... Show a pic of your stacks to any DOHC750,900 forum out there...

EDIT: Otherwise, fantastic work.

Ya so true Rat, the DOHC fanatics would berate you in an instant, tough crew but they only understand stock? that's strange stok I even have a hard time spelling it...

you can show them a photo for me, the only thing thats going to be DOHC about the bike is the extra cam sitting on top of the engine.

What are you going to do about rear sets, stock location, or passenger peg location/ fab your own mounts? I just got mine back from the machine shop yesterday and it still needs some tweaking. Don't ask how much that cost me. Suffice it to say the invoice was an eye opener. However, they are much more substantial at 1/2" thick than my original home made version of 1/4" thickness (a lot of flex in the lever).
