Nice 750, Mr. Moore. Any additional photos or a link? I didn't find it on your site. RR

No info. Look at the company who built it and found nothing.

I'm surprised that the Norton fairing and tail (along with the Lyta-style tank) work so well on the CB750. I think the upswept exhaust and round oil tank are perhaps the key. IMHO, nice lean look. RR

If I remember correctly the Norton accessories were made by Dunstall and they also had the same fairing and seat available to fit the Honda 750's at that time.  That was in the mid 70's. Dunstall also had performance exhaust systems but I think they were only available for Nortons.

Dunstall made a kit similar but the original "Production Racer" was from the factory:

those RG500's are SICK. A guy local has two of them and they're nutty. Super light and tons of power.

Think I've seen the orange one around here, but not the brown one.   I really dig the brown.

The motor looks great.. Except for the donkeydick hanging off the front. Is it really that hard to get the stocker off, plus you get to inspect the debris inside the stocker.
