There are some KILLER black bikes in this thread, but "Roadkill" I really love your CB750 Bobber!  Totally FINE!  Okay, Dude, I'm inspired.  I've gotta use that NOS weld-on hardtail I've been sitting on!  Thanks!  RR

That is awesome.  Is it an oil in the frame with gas in the oil tank by the seat? ???

all THREE look great, but does the second one actually move without eating you? I could see that chain so close to the seat enjesting any threads that may be wearing, or is spandex requireed?

chain is pretty tucked in there and the controls are forward.  i might be in trouble if i wore MC hammer pants though :D

Hi all been a long time from my last posting.
Here is my bike as it sits only ten mints ago. Sad part is I am selling it because my health has forced me to stop riding. It was shut down in Oct and at the time was yellow as in my avatar. It is now black and still running never been rebuilt at all and is numbers matched. What would you all say is a fare price to ask? I am thinking about $1200.00 or is that too much? This would make a good cheap tour bike, platform for a chopper of cafe racer and or a restore. As only bolt ons and paint have been changed from stock. Man this was my dream and I always wanted to make a chopper out of it but not any more as I do not want to build it if I can not ride it. If the price is to much do you think I should break it apart and sell it bit and pieces? Hate to do that my self but I also need to get the most for it I can. I will post it on the for sale page here in a few days and the price there will only be for people on here at  SOHC when I do it will be $1000.00 but in the paper and crags list it will be the 12

Don't get rid of your stock exhaust, you'll need it for the MOT if the new ones are that loud and not stamped. ;)
