Topic: '76 CB750f - my 1st frame up build

[blacknblue_cafe]

so this was the first bike I ever bought...'76 CB750F that I bought off craigslist about 5 yrs ago or so.  Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch about me altering this antique bike...I just want to say the original tank, and seat were long gone before I bought the bike.  I wasn't a big fan of the aftermarket parts that were installed, so I quickly bought some Carpy parts and replaced them.

Here is the bike the day I bought it home:


Here are a few pics of pieces I quickly ordered and started bolting on the bike:




And here is the bike after I had owned it about a year or so:





Not a lot of miles on this baby:

...so now what?...why did I quit working on the bike?...what happened?

about 3 years ago I started buying other bikes to play with:
here's a shot of a 2010 sportster I kinda built up and sold...went from this:


to this:


needless to say, I kind of lost interest in the Honda for a little while...and that brings us to current time..

Tore the bike down last week:



...now what?...well I guess I have a plan...

I want to grind off the passenger pegs, and clean up the frame as much as possible...if $$$ cooperates I want to powdercoat the frame a metallic blue (as close to the biltwell blue flake as I can get)...and everything else will be black...or as black as I can paint it. 

the spoke rims may go away for a bit....I have some Comstars laying around that should fit...just have to see if the '77 CB750 F brake system will bolt onto my '76.

final part will be to have the tank and seat finished, and a decent brakelight/license frame installed...so the work begins.

updates to come later this week...
