'76 CB750F Cafe

Hey Everyone-
I'm relatively new to this forum but thought I should start posting some of my stuff.  First, let me say, that my builds are relatively simple and I can't hold a candle to the talents of many on this forum.  I do love reading posts and trying to sponge up the information.  The 750F is really more of a cosmetic modification than it is a build, but some may find it interesting.  I plan to make it reminiscent of a Norton Commando fastback with a Honda logo done in Norton script on the tank with racing stripes and a gold on black color scheme.  I like to put a couple of unique features into every bike I put together so I did the gas cap cover in a flying spade design containing the 59 Club logo.  I will post more pics as I go.

Here are a couple of pics of the sandcast project I recently sold.  The 750F will have the opposite color scheme- mostly metallic black with gold accents.

After a long hiatus, the 750 is closer to done.  Paint job- definitely no concourse winner!  Not bad for rattle can and a guy with mediocre paint skills.  Looks good from 10 feet away in dim lighting so good enough for me. ;)  Still needs some mechanical attention but I've had it around the block and it rides nice!  Will post better pics soon.
