At least there's room to work on the engine without taking it out of the frame!

I can't imagine it would go very fast on those stinky little wheels-

Dennis · « **Reply #5 on:** June 02, 2005, 09:58:42 PM »

I can't imagine that it would be very fast either.
Looks like it doesn't have carbs installed.

very cool, great idea, carbs should be easier than 79 cbx , keep up the good work.

I've got the best part of a 38 Chief sitting in my garage right next to my F1. I never thought of combining the two.

Sorry to disagree... but I think it's a pretty cool looking little cruiser. Who knew Honda 750 SOHC = Chevy sb 350 ?!?

Simply put, it is the ugliest custom bike I've ever seen. A Chief is a Chief, and a CB750 is a CB750. If you want a Chief, buy a Chief. If you want a custom bike, make your own.

Well I like that "indian" bike, a lot. I saw one just like it in the 1970's in an Iron Horse magazine, before they became a pseudo Harley mag, but who-ever is building this one is quite smart, there's probably not one Indian part on it, it's just the valanced fenders that give it that look, the rest is just your average custom catalogue parts.

It just goes to show that the CB750 engine is the most beautiful, most practical, most versatile across the frame four ever built! Cheers, Terry.

dusterdude · « **Reply #15 on:** June 07, 2005, 05:23:08 AM »

terry,have you read the new version of iron horse mag,its called the horse bach street choppers,quite good

gregk · « **Reply #16 on:** June 07, 2005, 06:35:17 AM »

Looks like a sprung frame Indian to me. probably late forties.

Pretty cool. I prefer a CB750 engine on a BSA Rocket III frame, it's almost a perfect fit.

I remember seeing an magazine article where a guy put a SOHC CB750 engine in a BSA Rocket III frame because his original BSA engine just wasn't reliable enough. With a reliability of the CB750 engine and a great handling of a BSA frame, that bike must've been a sleeper. It was enough that I started to look for an affordable BSA frame. I can't remember what title or what issue that article came from because I have too many magazines piled up.

Thanks Dusty, I just checked it out on line, very nice! I wonder if it's still owned by Easy Riders? Cheers, Terry.

It's a little late to "butt in" here, if anyone wants to know that article on the BSA/HONDA Rocket Four was from issue #69 Old Bike Journal. Very nicely done.

Thanks mate, are you able to scan/send the article for me? I'd love to see it? Cheers, Terry.

A cross reference of the location of the seller came up with Dr. Moreau's Island. Whereever that is...
