hey guys, i'm brand new to the site but have been reading up on various forums to gather the information i need before i make my first bike purchase. but still, i have some questions before i pull the trigger.
so here it goes: i'm set on getting a cb750, but am torn between the original sohc's and the '91+ dohc nighthawks.
i want to build a cafe, but don't have very much experience in the motorcycle fabrication world. i work on cars for a living, so i know my way around a wrench. but i am looking for some input and if any pics to help guide me to the most practical build i can get myself into.
i appreciate the simpler, straighter frame the early cb's had for the easier modification of fitting the cafe seat, but i love the fact that the newer dohc motors are relatively maintenance free (aka, no regular 600/mile valve adjustment).
from what i've seen on this site, the community is very receptive and helpful. once i make my decision, and purchase the bike, progress pics will be the norm. any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
