Really that low profile looks bad to the bone. And 16" rear adds to it. PO's of both my 750's put 16" rears on them, just a common practice back in the day, but I have not lowered them still at stock height.

Yeah, she was 16 in the back and rolling frame I got was 16 rear wheel too. I prefer them stock height, it just feels better- among other things.

I did not think it looked good on momma's bike. That seat had to go too. Comfy seat though. I had a new layer of memory foam put in.

Edit:  I meant the 18' rim did not look good to me, neither did the seat.  Thought I put the rim part in there, guess not.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

No need to talk her into painting it blue.  She would prefer it to be blue.  I just need to fix the few teeny dents in it and have it painted or build a small booth and do it myself.  I haven't painted like this since I was 16.  I have the equipment to do it.
