Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er's 1975 CB750F0 parts bike with a 1000cc big bore hot 750 engine

From Jerry:

You are looking at my project put together from scratch 1975 CB750F0 parts bike with a 1000cc big bore hot 750 engine. Fun but challenging project. I still need to fine tune the jetting and get it to the dyno but it runs good and strong.

My thanks go out to Dennis Old Scrambler for helping me tune the RS34s which he runs on his record setting Bonneville bike.

Speedswitch's photos don't show up for me on my Android phone in this thread , nor in his thread you linked to. The link reports a filename as ibb.co/(filename) and I don't think my browser is resolving the address at all. Just broken link icon for the photo with outline of the place where it would be...
My iPad just gives an outline of the photo size but no icon...
