Tango's Latest Find 78 CB750 - More Pics Added
« on: March 31, 2012, 06:03:27 AM »
Traded my bmw r1100rt plus some $$$ to me for this lil beauty. Needs just a couple little tweaks, but all in all its ready to roll.  ill get some better pics tonight when i ride to yatz with some vintage riders. A local friend built this bike 6 months ago.  He did a really nice job.

no engine mods, just re jetted for the velocity stacks and the 4-1.  if you look at the rear set, its one up, 4 down, didnt take long to get use to.  He also mounted the rear brakes down low for a cleaner look.
hard to see in these night photos, but ill get more up.  i might be able to get build photos.

Looks to me like a modern reproduction for some reason. Maybe the engine paint. Nice sickle.

The bike runs great, it has Velocity stacks with screens  in them.   Ill have to ask Kim, how he has it jetted.   I know he has it geared crazy high.   bigger front sprocket and smaller rear.  Sounds great, ill get a video up tomorrow.
