81 cb750k cafe brat something or other build

[Bunz]

Started with a 1981 cb750k. How she looked when I got her home. Then after removal of parts.

At this point I'm only in it for the gas it cost to drive an hour to pick it up. I did a trade for some home audio equipment that I got for free. The previous owner tried to do a backyard cafe build using some sketchy parts and a few cans of spray bomb truck bed liner. The bed liner was on everything except the seat and head light glass. I have many many many hours in sandblasting and cleaning of the parts as I took each piece off and cleaned then repainted. Plan is to do a mild brat cafe style build. This is how it sits now. Still have to chop off the top of the stock seat frame. I plan on running the new seat tube straight off the backbone of the frame to the rear hoop above the back tire. The shock mounts will be removed and relocated after new tube is welded in it place to support the seat tube. I would like to cut off the rear foot peg mounts and build a tube structure to hold the new rearsets.

I'll tag along... always nice to see another DOHC 750 build!

Not sure what you mean by this, looks like you've cut the tubes for the seat out of the frame already.

This is what kind of what I want to do. Tied this on for a mockup. Instead of cutting and splicing here and there ill just cut it all off and make one new piece. The seat will be the DCC brat seat with the kick up on the rear.
