I'm not new to the forum per say... but I took about a 20 year hiatus from working on my cb750k5 in lieu of other projects.
I'm slowly putting the cb750 back together.... I just sent the head and block out to be machined.

I put Hagon shocks, a cb200 front end with gold valve emulators, rear sets, clip-on handle bars, a dyna S ignition, a kibblewhite valve-train, a Mega Cycle cam in my CL175 and called it a race bike. It's fun, but I'm not very competitive on it.

I also run my CB400f in Ahrma... production lightweight.  Koni rear shocks, gold valves and new springs up front, rear-sets, new bars, upgraded brake bits and a new muffler is all I had to do to call that one a race bike. I'm a bit more competitive on this bike... but haven't set any records yet.
I initially was going to set up my cb750 as a production heavyweight race bike... but the 400f does just fine in that class... so I think I'm going to set that up as a street bike again.

My GS1100 has been continuously upgraded over the past 20 years or so. It's a solid bike, but getting up there with 50k miles.   

CB750K5 - Slowly putting back together.
GS1100LT - Nicely upgraded over the years.
CB400F - Production lightweight race bike.
Cl175k7 - Gp200 race bike.
