New to DTT, heard good things about it, figured I'd join up.

Here's some of the more recent shots of my bike. Its a 1977 CB750.
Mod list
- custom rearsets created from buddy mount pegs off a 1980 something shadow, some BMX pegs, GSXR shift and CRB949 brake lever
- Seat and tail piece crafted from the original tail section
- 4-1 exhaust, trimmed
- slightly shortened frame
- stainless brake lines
- 2006 FZ 1 handle bars
- custom gauge faces, with integrated LED indicator lights

Upcoming - New valves and guides, possibly some porting on head

Here's some shots

The first rendition

The damaged, after someone decided it would be awesome to knock the bike over in the parking lot....

The rebuilt

Thanks for looking!

Welcome to DTT! Cool bike man! You should def find whoever knocked it over and murder their face.

 

[b82ta]

Thanks! Oh believe me. I was IRATE and I tried to find who did it, but of course my University fails at security and has no cameras or the like in the parking lots. and since it happened at like 2 am there were no witnesses, so I pretty much got nowhere with that. Although i guess it was a motivator for me to make some changes that I had wanted to do for a while. (trying to look on the bright side, lol)

 

[VonYinzer]

Well it looks awesome man. Well done all around.

 

[b82ta]

Thanks again. Def looking to do more with it. I'd really like to do some drilled rotors, maybe a big bore kit eventually, I'd like to re redo my gauges at some point, possibly a fork swap, and some new shocks at some point?

I can believe someone would knock a bike over. That's pretty f'ed up. That's why my bike's gonna stay in my living room!

 

[b82ta]

Yeah it was pretty terrible! I couldn't believe it either... I was ready for war after that happened. The living room is a good place for a bike, until you want to ride it... haha My roommate has his CB550 in our living room at that moment. My 750 will probably be in there at some point here for a cylinder head swap, if the machinist ever finishes with my head :S
