Alright Gents and Ladies,
I have been wanting to build a cafe/brat for a good couple of years and have finally embarked on this wild ride. This is my first build, I won't take offense if you yell and shout about something dumb I'm doing (as long as you help me learn the right way)! I've lurked on the sohc4 forums for awhile and figured I better start sharing.
I obtained a 1978 CB750F in September of last year. 2 PO's, the original had it for 90% of its life. PO was using it as a weekend rider, bought a Vstar and didn't want this beauty anymore. The PO was a really nice guy and was super concerned about the wind jammer and sissy bar not being properly anchored, but I quickly assured him those parts were soon to be off the bike.
The bike was in good condition, 15,000 miles, no signs of sitting outside, I even rode it home. The following weekend I put about 80 miles on it and then snapped a throttle cable. I had to ride home pulling on the cable with a pair of vise grips. Even with that setback, I was over the moon.
Into the garage she went,
stay tuned for disassembly...
