Garage Project #5 - '74 Honda CB750 SOHC

We call it "Mr Green" because my 4th grade teacher's name was Mr Green and he was a right bastard, always throwing chalk at me and often hitting me in the head. By the end of this build you will see why this is relevant.

History of the bike
1974 CB750 K4 imported from the US in good condition (but not great) with less than 3,000 miles on it. It has been in storage for 20+ years.

What are the goals for Garage Project #5 - Mr Green?

• There are thousands of SOHC CB750's that have been modified but we rarely see any that we like. There is nearly always something wrong with them. We'd like to build another show stopper that sets the blogs alight again, just like Garage Projects #1, #2, #3 & #4
• To put a huge smile on our faces as well as the purchaser (yep this one is for sale)
• To push boundaries with certain aspects of the build. If people smile when looking at it, we'll have succeeded.
• A complete ground up build where the engine will be totally overhauled and most original parts will be junked and replaced with our own custom pieces.

Parked next to Projects 6, 7 & 8

Nothing in this picture will remain

One of my favourite looking engines of all time.

While the mufflers will be junked, the headers are too beautiful so will stay.

It won't look anything like this when it's finished!

More updates in mid October

Hell, you could fund the whole build with the money from selling the stock parts. Agreed on the engine, sohc750's have a right sexy mill.

I guess you guys have found your niche. I liked your bratstyle CB350, but its gotta be hard in Australia to compete with Dues.


Hopefully the lineup of CB750s will set you apart.
