Potential chop
« on: May 20, 2025, 01:31:44 PM »
Hi all I’m really wanting to chop my cb750 but I have no idea where to start. It’s a 1977 and runs great. It’s already a bit chopped but I want to put it on a rigid frame. I know the 77 had a wider back wheel so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a frame for it and other advice?
This one is mine.


Inspo 1 with rigid frame.



Inspo 2 without but I don’t know why kind of frame this is.

All depends on what you want to spend on a frame. Cycle one makes some super nice frames as well as cycle X

All depends on your budget and fab skills. Nothing is going to just bolt right in without some persuasion. Late model wheels are not hard to get aligned in hardtail frames, you usually have to make custom wheel spacers anyways. I have a 77 motor and rear wheel in a c&g frame which wasn't difficult to get rear wheel alignment perfect.

As said look at cyclex, cycle one, voodoo vintage fabrication

Depending on your state and titling look into facebook marketplace, craigslist and ebay for full survivor frames.

IDK what your fab skills are but there are so many unloved and unwanted chopper frames out there, just keep your eye out and a few will come across ur path. I picked one up and got it back to running and riding condition. I would find one and slap your motor in it.
I love the look of a rigid frame but I probably won't ride one again in Michigan bc of the roads.
