I said it before and I'll say it again, no tank trim.

Tweakin, do what you want with the trim. Its yours and you will look at it more often than any of us.

Any chance of a ride video, I would love to hear that engine singing at higher revs.

Thanks Tige for the trim photo but have to agree with Retro - no trim if no trim on the seat. I get what you mean though with stock v custom. Either way it looks amazing!

Cant wait for the ride report and some scenic photos!  ;)
Enjoy!

Tige,

I love this bike, as I love all of your builds.  Nothing but the highest quality workmanship.  Bravo.

Obviously do what you want (trim-wise) but I had to chuckle about the no-trim comment.  How old am I??

Again, great work.

I know you're not a BOTM-kind-of-guy, but I am nominating this one tomorrow!!

Hard to add anymore then what's already been said, Tige.  You really are one of the best restorers I've ever seen.  Your attention to detail, a knack for having a vision, and getting everything just right is very admirable.  That bike really is beautiful.  Can't wait to see it in person.

^^ Enough said right there. Nothing I can add. Stunning bike, stunning build.

Thanks to all who take the time to comment or just check out my thread.  I really appreciate everyone's (well, almost everyones  ;D) comments and contributions to the various builds I have been fortunate enough to take part in!  This forum is like a second home, nothing better than having 100's of fellas in the shop with me each night I work on a build.

Pretty rough shape when I brought her home this last November.  Too far gone for a full restore, so I put her back together as close to stock as I could and wanted to.  Feels really good to have brought this one back to life.







1971 cb750 K1 GT





















I could not be happier with how the "Turd" turned out.  It was overcast when I shot the pictures so the Candy Gold paint looked almost orange, pretty cool the way the paint looks different in different lighting.  My oldest daughter came out and said "Daddy, I thought Tweakin's turd was Gold?  This bike looks orange"  This was followed up by "I think you need to change the name...  Its not a turd anymore".

Tige,
Nice looking 848 in the first picture. I was curious about the turn signal indicators you use on this build. Can you provide some additional info?
