750 black beauty scrambleresque project
« on: June 20, 2012, 08:04:11 AM »
Pretty uneducated on builds and I am starting in on this 76  750 F for a project,  it is pretty rough so I am looking to go with an almost rat rod scrambler look in the end.   
 
Attached are photos of it as is and a photo of the exquisite build of Steve Lowe's 750.  Hopefully mine could end up somewhat close to this great bike.

They did not want the higher pipes so they would not be burned on the legs and have their hands burned also. Also hot pipes next to the hot oil tank. Another way to burn yourself


Smart thinking.

You obviously don't know what a scrambler is..
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!
Helmets save brains. Always wear one and ride like everyone is trying to kill you....

Great idea on the pipes on the right! 

I do know what a scrambler is,  and this will not be a scrambler in any way, but have a little of the scrambler look.

Thanks
