Hey everyone,
I'm Tristan, 30 y.o., and from the Netherlands. Currently working on my CB750K1 hardtail chopper, which I obtained from inheritance.
The K1 engine was completely shot, so I put in a K7 engine from a bike that had to be torn down. After 8 years of (part-time evening) work the bike is finally ridable, however there are still some minor issues to be fixed.
You can see the bike here:
With 4 in to 1 short open exhaust:
With 4 in to 1 exhaust with expansion chamber:
The second project that I started on is a K6 that was dredged up out of the canal in Rotterdam. I'm searching for parts and I am still in doubt if I will try to make it as original as possible or build another custom.. Luckily the engine was still full of oil, the carbs were busted and the outside of the engine is badly corroded.
From what I've seen and read I can get a lot of information from the site, and am happy to share my knowledge and experience with you, cheers!
