Hello first time posting to sohc4.net, and I just wanted to share the status of the current bike I purchased. Here are some pictures I took while purchasing, and the early stages of disassembly.

I'm in the middle of doing one of a CB750 F1 restoration at the moment, trying to keep it original with a few modern improvements (tyres, shocks, K&N filters). What are your plans for it - restore to original / cafe / something else?

I'll probably go the cafe route.

It's a brewstand not a bench

and I use it home brew beer

The kegs are actually called keggles.

Don't hold out on us! Where do you live and when are you serving the beer?

You can probably muster some Texas volunteer labor for some suds!

Sounds great to me, don't know too many people who ride bikes in Texas.

We have several very experienced builder members on the forum in Texas.

Welcome from Lake Travis! I was just in Ft Worth two weeks ago.

Greenjeans is in Denton, CBGhia is in Keller, PecanTree in Austin, Trey is in New Braunfels and Really? is somewhere in DFW too.

I have a nice parts stash, let me know if you need anything. So does Trey....

That's a damn good start. Thanks, Stev-O!

At first, I though that bike had 61 miles on it. Then I realized that the picture is upside down.

Don't forget kmb69 in Pearland!

I'm in North Fort Worth/Keller, and I have a 750F model.

Does the engine run? That's a good starting point.

Got the old crusty wiring harness removed today.

Davidov · « **Reply #19 on:** June 08, 2015, 03:08:58 PM »

I recommend saving the old harness, even if it's corroded and crusty.
It will help down the road if you need a spare connector or something.

The shop manual arrived in the mail today, and in it there was this gem

Made some progress with the wiring harness the other day

I don't like the looks of that left side down tube! Is that rusted through?

I don't think so, it's just some surface rust as far as I can tell.

SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan · « **Reply #24 on:** June 15, 2015, 02:56:03 PM »

It could be caked on grease. Hard to tell from the photo. Make sure you if it IS rust that you get down to bare metal and repair any compromised metal, and then hit it with a rust inhibitor before painting or powdercoating.
