Hey everyone, ive been looking around the site at some other build and decided it was time to join and share mine. I purchased a 1975 cb750 in August for $300. It ran and rode but looked horrible. Previous owner had put forward controls, aftermarket bars and some crappy flat black paint on it. That weekend I had it torn down to the frame and sold all the parts I would not be using. So essentially i had a free bike. A good friend of mine had a wrecked GSXR 1000 from 2001 laying around so I purchased his complete front end and sourced a 1988 GSXR 1100 swing arm, 750 wheel with sprocket, rotor and axle. Detabbed the frame and got rid of the shock mounts. Had a guy in Colorado machine me some brass bushings that would allow me to use the stock pivot bolt with the new swinger. Build is at a stand still now until i can get the funds to buy all the parts below.

Hardest part on this build will be the monoshock set up. I hope to run the stock 88 GSXR linkage and shock. Tail section will have a custom oil tank and the seat will be bolted to a cafe style carbon fiber design. Keeping the stock tank but will be painted candy red. Frame and swing arm will be cadillac black diamond. debating on the wheel color still. Motor work will remain minimal, just ignition and exhaust for now and keeping the engine chrome/aluminum. not painting the engine unless it doesn't clean up well.
Since i have some down time with the build, I wanted to start a discussion on the suspension. I want to keep the geometry as close as possible to the 88 GSXR design. What is everyones thoughts on that?
