Keep up the good work!

Nice blue color!
Add side covers in same color and CB750 badges with diamonds will make it to look really good!

If tank has clear coat, possible to sand it and add graphics plus more clear too

Looking great! Where did you get the tach and speedo? I see sets like that at vintagecb750.com. They look good! Fit/work OK?

I have the matching side covers and will not be sanding the tank, it's in near perfect cond!

I like to simple design without the stripes, this is not even close to being an original resto.

The thought here was to put this bike together spending the least possible dollars with parts I have on the shelf.

Bought the gauges on ebay about 3 yrs ago, sorry dont recall the seller, think I paid around $100?

They came with the bracket but the bracket was the wrong angle and the gauges didnt sit right, so I tossed it and used one I had on the shelf.  Have not tested them yet.

She lives!   Have not been good about updating this thread but the bike is now together and running good.

Only 37 test miles so far but all systems go!!

Started with this back in '17...



It's been an off and on project, used the bodywork off the old "Big Bang Bike"...



Always love polished engine covers...



The Kerker exhaust looks and sounds good...



Last registered 1974!  [kidding]



Aftermarket gauges...




New chain on old powdercoated sprocket...



So this one is done!  Have decided my next project will be a proper restore of my
1974 Kawasaki H1 500. Picked it up for $200 a couple years ago.

Well done Stev-o, looks great.

Nice assemble Steve.
You bought the H1 for $200 !! Did you spy it at a Yard sale on a dead end road??  WOW,what a deal..
I'm looking forward to your H1 restore

Where will you document the H1 project, I want to follow it!

[seanbarney41]

Steve-O, tell us about the gauges...brand new reproductions?

Thanks guys.  Yes, the H1 was basically a basket case, listed on Craigslist and I jumped on it. The guy "inherited" from his neighbor and really just wanted it gone. No problem!
No title but that is not an issue.  I will most likely do a build thread on my ongoing Kawasaki thread...

Hey Sean...yes, the gauges are new re-pops.  I bought the set on eBay a couple years ago for around a 100 bucks if I remember correctly. You experts could tell the difference but they look good and seem to work good as well. This bike is hardly correct so was a good fit.
