That must be a small battery. What model? Any issues with it spinning the starter?

Finally "finished" my 1981 CB750K, although its never really finished, still have a list of future changes I want to make. It was quite the feeling finally being able to ride it after the 5 years of slowly working on it. I have been a longtime reader on here, and couldn't have completed my bike without this forum, thank you to all who have posted on their builds and insights! I am debating on whether or not to go with emblems or no emblems on the tank, any opinions?

Bike looks good. Not sure how long you could ride it though. I'd change the ergos a little. Say move the pegs forwards about 2 inches and maybe down an inch and raise the bars to give your wrists a rest. When you get a chance to put some miles on it, you'll be able to work out what works best for you.

Yeah I can already tell its not going to be the most comfortable position. This build was a big learning experience, and I will do a lot of things differently on the next one. I didn't think everything through and didn't necessarily have everything planned out at the right times. Cognito Moto now has DOHC rearset brackets that I think would improve the foot location and I may have to purchase after the comfort level of the current position proves to be too much.

The badges are really up to you. I added them on my GL1000, and it really helped. I like your green background on them.

Looks good man! I love how the you painted the engine

Picked up my first DOHC in the fall with some high ambitions.

Alternative body ideas on the free Nighthawk I was given(GS450 tank and a Ducati tail):

I'm a big fan of that Suzi tank, as long as it does not look to small on your bike.
