How do you categorize your bike? Take the poll and explain yourself...

I'd categorize my bike as a stock modified cafe'.

Black 1972 CB750 stock except for the color, the big bore kit and the oil cooler.

Gold 1972 CB750 Completely stock except for 4-2 exhaust

Green 1973 CB350 Stock except for the 4-2 (too cheap to pay $2000 for a set)

Frankenbike....says honda on the stator and valve covers

sparty, I couldn't find the " in 10,000 pieces" option so have had to go for cafe.

Oh that was funny

Jonesy · « **Reply #6 on:** January 08, 2007, 02:29:09 PM »

Right now I'm mostly stock as the PO bastardized mine really bad... I'm gradually working to the "100% Stock" status...

csendker · « **Reply #7 on:** January 08, 2007, 03:31:28 PM »

4-1 exhaust where it should be a 4-4, bar end mirrors, different taillight and added a windscreen & luggage rack. And red paint. Does the Uni foam drop-in air filter count? That's all I can think of, it's just your basic daily rider...

medic09 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 08, 2007, 03:40:28 PM »

Mostly stock. PO switched some relatively minor things anyone might do for a regular ride: headlight bucket and ears, rear taillights now operate through the Bates bags mounted on the bike, handgrips (I put originals back on 'cause I actually like them), exhaust is now 2-into-1 on each side. I switched to a cut down seat and lower rear shocks to compensate for my height disability.

Oh, and I've got LOTS of splices and connectors in the way of repairs I just did to fried wiring. Still working on that.

That is quite a tall pair of Clubmans.

Mostly stock:
Upgraded front and rear suspension, Dyna ignition and LOUD horns, but no modifications to the engine.

upperlake04 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 09, 2007, 06:42:24 AM »

mostly stock - working towards 100% stock. Need headlight bucket, fork ears, and ignition switch

Cafe- not quite in 10,000 pieces, but its definitely a work in progress

. Right now its got :

77 750F tank (modified)
fiberglass cafe seat
Telefix clip-ons
CB650 rear wheel
4-4 drag pipes
pod filters
dual discs
rear seats
5 3/4" headlight
relocated battery and electrics
polished frame with all tabs removed
CL360 gauges

And some other stuff I know I forgot....

johnny-from-bel · « **Reply #16 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:32:13 AM »

Mine is stock modified. It used to have a Yamaha exaust but is recently replaced it by and 750 2F2 4-in-1.
All of the parts are now honda but not CB750.

neudl · « **Reply #17 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:37:57 AM »

Mostly stock, I think - besides the clubman bars, the paint, and the fact that the engine is from a '74 CB500, while everything else is from a '77 CB550k.

ProTeal55 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:53:46 AM »

I think everyone would agree my CB750 could be classified as a "hooligan"

Streetfighter/Cafe also works I think...

medic09 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 11, 2007, 05:44:20 PM »

Hooligan is a good choice.

If you sell it, be sure to advertise it that way.

DME · « **Reply #20 on:** January 13, 2007, 04:04:16 PM »

Cafe perhaps?

Hockers Choppers · « **Reply #21 on:** January 13, 2007, 04:22:34 PM »

I put my 78 cb750f as 10,000 pieces but I have everything clean and painted so I can start putting things back together now. I do have the front and rear wheel assemblies together so I guess I can go with 9750 pieces? Once I get the engine back together I should have it on the road in a week?

Hoping anyway!

I'll take lots of pics once its not in 10 different piles. It's snowing here in Kansas so I'm not getting to excited.

Mostly stock. However, Sophie is going through a retrofication before the start of the riding season:

seat redone to be the same thickness all along (to look more like the early 750 seat); no rider 'scoop out' at the front
older looking (smaller, round) turn signals to replace the square monsters on there now
older, polished alloy (from a CB175) switch gear
older tail light (from a CB160)

Long term I want to hack off the passenger peg/exhaust brackets and replace them with a pair of bolt on alloy ones from an '82.

Jury is out on the exhaust. I like the 4 into 2 stockers (which are still in pretty good shape). I also really like the 4 into 1 (400) look.
