1975 CB750 Super Sport Project!
« on: February 24, 2009, 03:36:23 PM »
Hi, I stumbled across this website right after I picked up this latest motorcycle. I would like to be a part of the community and show my progress so heres my story: I used to have a standard 1979 cb750 with a springer front end and lowering springs in the rear. I sold that bike to find a Supersport and build a rigid bobber. I found a 1975 CB750F supersport in the local paper for $100.00, and took it home for $75.00 (always bargaining...). The owner current owner was given the bike for free, and it sat in the barn for a while until they needed some extra cash, and sold it to me. Its in great shape mostly, though I dont know if the motor runs yet. I will start posting pictures as soon as I can, I have a couple already, and I will try to document the build as best as I can, hopefully getting help and advice along the way. I am selling the stock tank, fenders, seat and cowl, turn signals, possibly gauges, and handle bars if anyone is interested in those parts.

That went reasonably well. Anyways, as you can see, I stripped off all of the unnecessary parts, got the bars and headlight dialed in how I want them, and approximated where the ride hieght will be. I havent decided on a seat or tank, but I am leaning towards a small Sportster tank, and a comfy solo seat. I also decided that I am NOT going  hard tail, rather I will install 3 inch shorter shocks. I will be cutting the top tube out inbetween the rear tank mount, and the rear shock mount, and lowering the tube 3-4 inches to give that aggressive seating position a chopper should have. I may also install drag bars, because the bars I have are a little too swept back, not really comfortable when the bars are at shoulder height... we will see...
