1971 CB750K1: Bought as a non-runner for $200 in 2000

The goal was to build a CR replica for the street. This plan quickly morphed into building a Dunstall CB750

It took 9 years to acquire all the correct Dunstall parts. The build started in January 2008.

The goal was to build a bike that could have existed in the mid 70s. It gets ridden regularly and is not allowed inside the house.

Tintop · « **Reply #17 on:** August 18, 2013, 06:23:41 PM »

Great diversity of styles this month,

making for a hard decision. But choice is made, and vote cast.

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2013, 08:11:45 PM »

Hey 736cc, I nominated your bike mainly so you would have to give us a more complete write up on that thing. Then you took a little flak for it being a show piece and not a rider. I bet a lot of guys would ease up a bit if you spilled whatever beans you got about the story of this bike and it's never before seen parts...but don't worry about me, I already voted

cheftuskey121 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 18, 2013, 08:37:14 PM »

Yeah guys let's hear stories and see before and after pictures. You need to win our vote

Ecosse · « **Reply #20 on:** August 19, 2013, 12:14:02 AM »

this one is tougher than usual for me. gotta think on it for a bit.

LesterPiglet · « **Reply #21 on:** August 19, 2013, 02:56:01 AM »

I surprised myself this time. I never thought I'd vote for this style of bike but I like the work gone into Tacticals bobber.

Scott S · « **Reply #22 on:** August 19, 2013, 04:40:42 AM »

I bought this '72 CB500 (actually, according to the VIN and engine numbers, it's an early '71 build) from a co-worker in March of 2010. It was a non-runner and had been in his barn for 28 years. Got it and the title for $300.

Got it running, made her pretty....

Swapped in a 550 engine. Added 400F bars and footpegs.

Then came a CB650 engine, a seat change and a restored set of Lester wheels.

Wow that things a sleeper for a "500". Great work!
