74 CB750 cafe project
« on: March 11, 2009, 08:49:39 PM »
Bought her over a year ago, and just recently got back on track. 

As I got her, needing TLC.


Removed the fairing, and cleaned her up some.


Stripped her down to sell some OE parts, and buy cafe racer replacements.  Circa one year ago.


Started mocking things up a few weeks ago.


Got the rolling chassis mocked up, but will tear down for tapered head bearings, swingarm bushings, and wheel bearings.

I really like the rim and tire combo. What kind of tires are those?

Bridgestone Spitfires is written on the sidewalls.

*Puts on foil hat and hums lightly*

I think they are Bridgestones.
