Storm Trooper CB750A

1978 CB750A.  A friend gave me this bike as a none runner.  It sat for 20 years and had 15,000 miles on it when I got it.  I rebuilt the break system, installed a new steel break line, flushed and sealed the gas tank, rebuilt the carburetors (about 7 times), installed a flat handle bar, bobbed the fenders, shaved the lower folks, reshaped the original seat foam and recovered the seat, install new Avon tires, used about a dozen cans of spray paint on the wheels, lower folks, exhaust, tank and side covers, mounted the license plate and rear break light on the left side of the bike.  After seeing the bike my wife called it the "Storm Trooper" I think it fits.

great work..love it..

did you consider an earlier cb750 tank?

I was just about NOT going to get a 750A..this has now got me rethinking!

amazing what a difference a less bulky seat makes, and the shorter guards
