1978 CB750k build Project "Hiroko"

[OMGoddard]

Had this bike for about 5 months and finally getting to tear into it.

Naming it Hiroko, which was my late japanese grandmas given name when she was born. When she moved to America she picked the name Nancy, which doesn't sound as cool on a license plate. 8)

Beside its lil bro..79 cx500.

Pile of parts.


For the life of me can't figure out what I want to do for a seat or tank...go carpy/dunstall style, or grab a benji/bubble style.

More stripping of the bike.

Big things left to order are tank/seat.

Finished wrapping exhaust other night.

What are you doing for rearsets. I can't find anything that will fit mine.

Re: 1978 CB750k build

Sneak peek of the motor.

Gotta clean up carbs, tanks in the mail, find a seat...and put on a bunch of parts.

I know, right? I was questioning whether I made a mistake not using the stock tank for awhile. It'll all come together here soon when I get my seat.

Looks great, now help me out, I'm also working on a 78 cb 750. Where did you get the tank, gauges and rearsets?

Re: 1978 CB750k build

Everything's from DCC.

Re: 1978 CB750k build

Sat the rear seat on for an idea.

Messing around with the rear sets.
