Hi All, I love what many members have done in the way of custom SOHC's, but I guess I'm a bit of a purist at heart, thus my nomination for kghost's Black Bullet.

Hey folks,

The Line-X'ed tank has now been replaced with a stock low-Gloss one, along with a smooth top triple-tree  (like on my CB450) - No Gauges - etc..

Oh' It's so  ;D
Another member of this board is now the proud owner of the Line-X'ed Tank...
I am still in the midst of getting the tank dent free and painted, as well as the top triple tree smoothed
and so on, so no new pics at the moment. But the bike will be finished well before the month is over...

Once all is said and done the CB750 will look just like my CB450 --->
