78 cb750f project
« on: September 22, 2020, 01:21:09 PM »
Hey, new to the forum, but I've lurked for a while. Just wanted to share my project 1978 CB750f resto-mod. Bike was bought in 1982 by my dad, then gifted to me in 2004 when I graduated high school, and he upgraded to a zrx1200r. I rode it for a few years before I ran it outta oil, yes I was dumb, and spun a bearing. It has been sitting since, then this year with all of the free covid time I had I started the rebuild. Updating all of the wiring, led bulbs, dual piston calipers, stainless lines, cartridge fork mod, and lots of powder coating.

What are you plans for restoring the wheels?  Vapor blasting?
