1973 CB750 Cafe project
« on: June 13, 2017, 06:31:26 AM »
Tons of time and many dollars into this beautiful café project, I have been building this café racer in the true tradition of the early café racer, billet rear sets, 4 into 1 Yoshimura exhaust, lowered front and rear, aluminum tank, Lester wheels, plus much more. truly one of a kind, I just received my aluminum cowl seat and will be mounting it shortly.

Clean-looking 750.  Can you provide more details as to what you did to the bike -- engine rebuild or upgrades, modifications including tank (did you fab your tank or, if not, where did you source it), rearsets, seat, etc.  What condition was the bike when you acquired it?  We love that sort of info and pics!

You do realize that lowering the suspension does not improve performance?
