This is my first bike and definitely not the last.
'76 CB750F I picked up from a friend of a friend. It's getting really  close to being done all I need is to make a battery box, get a battery, chain, do the wiring, install points and condenser plate, find a few fittings to convert the 3/8 harley oil lines to hondas 1/2" (cycle exchange had them but are out of stock) if anyone knows where i can pick some up let me know. I found some at a fitting store but they're really bulky.
I was wanting to build up a 19" rear wheel to match the front but it looks like getting custom length spokes would be a little too pricey as this build is going to come in under $1500.
I've been reading this off and on and have found lots of great information and can't wait to get this girl on the road!

Haha, definitely true.
I also forgot to mention that I couldn't find rear brake caliper pistons so I'm having some made from stainless at this machine shop in town.
