Nice job on your 71, I am in the process of building a 72 with a GSXR front and Honda 600r rear, I like the look of the spoke rims also, would love to know if you found any, also could you show a close up of your rear sets, looking to see how you did the Master cylinder,

Yes. The project is dead and dormant. Someday I would like to finish it but I keep getting distracted by life and other 2 wheeled vehicles so the CB750 sits and waits. I've tossed around the idea of selling it as it sits but I would really kick myself if I did that.
Incoming shameless photo dump of my other distractions.

Well looks like you have a few quality reasons for the distractions. I'm on the East Coast but have a friend in Golden and have visited a few times. You're in one of the greatest places to ride/drive/live in my opinion.

I have a 71' I've been slacking on myself but trying to get back into it. Sold my GSXR1000 because I knew if I didnt, I'd just keep riding that. Giving me incentive to get the CB on the road.

Get back to it!

This one was fairly close to completion but is now for sale, with LOTS of nice parts:

The bike has been sold. It will be headed to Florida to it's new owner.
I'm sure I will regret selling it but sometimes you just need to let go of lingering unfinished projects.

Ah man, that's too bad. I drew a lot of inspiration from your bike. Tell the new owner to update the thread! haha Glad to see your enjoying your other bikes. Love the KTM.
