Hi
Thought I’d finally get round to making a thread on here for my CB750 build after being on here a while looking at everyone else’s build.
I bought the bike in January, looking like this and although fairly original, it had been sat a long time after a partial restoration and under closer inspection, it wasn’t quite as immaculate as it appears on the photos!
Within a week the bike was stripped fully whilst I worked out which way I was going to go as I really like the mix of cafe/brat bikes.
The rear of the frame was cut and an upswept hoop added, ready for moulding a fibreglass hump and aluminium seat pan.
The tank was blasted at work, which I found had a good few dents in, hidden by filler so plenty of new parts have been ordered from 4into1 which I shall update with as I am currently waiting on that much I’ve lost track of what’s actually been ordered. I treated it to a replacement exhaust as the black one was a bit rough and didn’t quite fit with the look I wanted so opted for a Delkevic stainless system and a new throttle assembly for minimal hand controls too.
I also shaved the top yoke/clamp as I wanted a minimal cockpit but this has now been sold as I’ve replaced it with a billet one from Cognito Moto
When welding the hoop, I turned two plugs and plug welded them into the hoop and frame then seam welded them.
I didn’t want to leave an open gusset so shortened the original sheet metal shock gusset and welded them back on, so they just need the welds fettling to smooth them out.
