Oddly I like that look. Wonder if its doable?

seeing that the motor is rubbing on the back tire i dont think it will fit to well.

Yea, but the frame in front is not lined up correctly perhaps once its moved forward a bit? Hum...

It would be easier to modify the 750 frame to suit....

some framework and an extended swingarm like mine would fix that.

Eh, once some of the tread wears off it'll be fine... No worries.

that's true, that's what happened to my parts bike.

Yup that would do it. I am guessing that the tread on the tires would not last one day..

why would you put risers on and then dropped bars?

The 750/BSA I posted was a SOHC photoshopped into a B40 trials bike. What I had in mind was converting a CB750 to give it the 'offroad' look.
Those knobblies do look good but you'd want some kind of enduro/tarmac tyre if you wanted reasonable handling.

But that look really appeals to me, reminds me of the big offroaders of the '60s

Hey,, thats me. Jay Allen from Vancouver Island. Ask away. I have built many street bike based dirt bikes/hillclimbers. My favorites I had in this thread but someone removed all the pictures. Email me at jayal09@telus.net and will send pix with info. I have two real sweet XR750 Honda's made from XR350/CB750 . We just took them out a couple weeks ago and jawdropped all the local dirt bikers. Loads o fun. They feel & handle like factory bikes

How about starting a separate thread for this guys, lets have some more pics please....

I believe they are shorty shocks by Forza, not sure where to get them however if you google (or your favorite internet search) you should come up with some thing.

I love these Rotax motors!

One of my favorites,.....MV Agusta, built by the American Albert Bold.
Headers were made out of a swimming pool ladder and the brake discs out of manhole covers. (written in the article)
I found the article in an old German motorcycle magazine from 1994.
Sorry for the scan quality.
