Also should mention I like the look of old school military writing and that was what I was trying to replicate on the tank and side covers...probably going to get a vinyl sticker made up for the tank but as for the covers any one know of stencils pre made? Otherwise I'm thinking I'll make them...

Internet is down at work and it's a slow day. Got an idea as I have been contemplating what I want to do about side covers. I like the look of a metal grate on many bikes from this forum as the world wife web. Also when I started this project I liked the idea of a number plate...so sitting here...

hey all! not much going on with the build but have run into a few problems that has hindered me in progressing as much as I would have liked. first, I painted my swing arm and center stand with the vht roll bar paint just as I did with my frame, everything turned out great and I was pleased...

thanks scratcher and octane! I will continue to research but will take this information for when the time comes...hopefully soon. one question I have on what you guys said is about the multi stage system? what do you mean by this? As in spray light coats with heavier one then let dry then after...

Hey guys, I am planning on doing my cb750 gas tank two toned to help the aesthetics of the line of the bike. Top half is going to be an olive drab and bottom will be either a brown to go with the leather seat or just black. Leaning towards black but will play around with photoshop to get some...

Nice to see another DOHC...an 81 to boot! cant wait to see what you got planned. best of luck!

thanks von,jrod, and jp for all your inpput! super helpful and will continue to add this info to my research!

looking into getting a modern front end for my 81 cb750 k. found a couple ads on local craigslist and checked the compatability on all balls racing fork conversions and they seem to match up. one of them is a 2003 sv650 complete front end. my question is would this be a quality swap if the...

awesome thanks I will do that!

thanks for your input carnivorous! I was thinking this prior to reading that everyone seems to recommend a carb rebuild...Would like to give PO the benefit of the doubt since he was a nice older man who was pretty honest about the bike from the get go. Still debating but will probably take them...

i would love too...but money is a cold hearted dictator :( gonna rebuild what I can and upgrade more expensive parts once she is back up and running...I heard these projects are rarely ever "finished" and I now see why

great looking bike you are starting with! listen to trek on keeping those couple of stock items. take your time and do not rush anything will be checking back on this one as I am also on my first build..love seeing what other first timers are doing! shaggy

Re: Salt City Cafe Build 1970 CB750 Seat looks great! cant wait to do this myself, ill be following similar techniques as you, always nice to see someone doing something relatively similar...gives that extra little confidence, along with the beer. you mentioned you built this all from what you...

great looking build so far! Im also working on my first build and love seeing others doing the same for inspiration. one thing I would recommend from research I have done, you mentioned in your first post that you were not going to use a front fender...a lot of the older bikes used the fender...

being my first bike build I was over zealous to get going on it and yes I realize I didnt do things the proper way in terms of a tear down and how to rebuild the bike. I have already made mistakes and will continue to make mistakes throughout this process. As I continue to do research and read...

just read through this whole thread...so much negative feedback! hahah oh man I am glad I didnt get this kind of introduction when I made my first post! anyways, keep it up man do what you want and keep on learning! like some of the other guys have said, once you are riding this bike, who cares...

Hey everyone! so got out to the garage day prior to heading to class tonight and pulled off the covers on the engine to help in the cleaning process of sanding them and giving them a bit of life again. Just like SaturdaysWrench mentioned in one of his videos, that first crack on loosening a...
