New Age Cafe Racer - Honda CB750 -79 from Finland

Finally tools and other stuff has found their spots in the garage.
As you can see, bikes has been multiplied during this week


Have to move other bikes, if I want to work with the project, but its just a small thing to do




Engine has arrived and it's now in perfect condition. Faulty gasket and all other gaskets has been changed and should run smoothly


Just finished to-do-list and now all I have to do is work, work, work...

I made a promise few weeks ago, that I don't make any other deadlines to this but summer 2020.
Well... I just made a promise to finish bike externally to Finland's biggest bike show on January 31. - February 2. 2020.
This is third time I promise bike to be ready for the show, so maybe this third time is the right time

Man the look on your face when the bike started the first time - that's a happy man!

I was a happy man!
Feeling was great and I was amazed for the sound it produced.

After some hard work I finally made it run!

"Promise is a promise"
...Well not always

Project is still a project and there hasn't been any progress.
Although the bike has moved 2 meters in the garage.

I got a few PM's about this project and how it's going, so here is a little update.

My motivation for this project has been totally 0% for some time now.

This summer motivation dropped even more when I bought bike that I have dreamed for years.

Ducati 899 Panigale

I have worked with Ducati for some time now, installing huge load of carbon parts and other cool parts.
Ducati should be ready in few weeks and I was thinking finish my CB build.

Time is right, cause everything is closed and I can't do anything else right now.
Hopefully this all will fade away soon...


Situation atm


Like I wrote in my last post before this, engine is completely rebuilded.

Overall this project is something like 75-80% finished.
Most of the parts are ready for paint. Few mods to do before that.

I will activate and put my gloves on.

This time I will not promise anything

I'll keep you updated!
