CB750 Cafe is almost done!

[Johnny5]

The last two "bigger" items I need to get are the seat and a chain and sprocket set and it'll be almost finished. Installed new piston rings and gaskets throughout the engine. Repainted and refinished almost every piece.

Just before putting the exhaust and air filters on.

Here's a quick video of it running after putting the engine back in.

did the forks already have that stuff engraved into them? Or did you do that? Bike is looking sweet!

 

[Johnny5]

Thanks!

Yeah, I did the engraving on the forks and rear brake with a dremel. I wanted a subtle look that you really notice once you get close to the bike. But yeah, almost nothing on this bike went without getting hit with some new paint or polishing wheel.

great job!! , what seat are you going with?,

 

[Johnny5]

Probably for now, just a simple bubble racing seat so I can ride it. Then later through the summer, I'll want to glass my own design.

With your choice of exhaust and the pod filters, what jets are you using? By the way, beautiful bike. I hope mine turns out half as nice!

It's a Mac exhaust. 130 mains, needle jet set at 2nd richest, air screw out 1.75 turns, floats and slow jet are stock set.

Thanks for the compliments.

What year model tank is that? Noticed it has a left side petcock.

 

[Johnny5]

I bought it on ebay, and the previous owner didnt know for sure. Im guessing 75-76?
