The joke on this build has been that my bike should be called santas little helper
its an old drag bike I am puting the factory parts back on. but leaving the  long swing arm. the bike had been putting around then left to sit the motor was broken and missing parts so i found a parts bike in VA and went and got it, switched out the motors and have been problem salving and repairing the whole way. this is my first bike restoration and its been a challenge but I have had some great help from my dad. he let me use all his tools and take over his shop, not to mention he has a wealth of knowledge about bikes.
I am about 60 hrs in to the project. I dont know if I am making good time or not but i am learning alot and I will def do this more. I want to do a real street-tracker next!!! but lets finish the drag bike to street bike conversion first.

I have some pix but I am going to have to get them up next time, for now its back in the shop!! wish me luck!!!

Got my first ride on it today, running ok, its the first cb 750 I ever road. I have an exhaust leak I am going to tackle in the morning and I have to get tires and inspection the the tag ect I think thats all it needs to go for a real spin, I am impressed with the power so far, " for a bike thats been in like a thousand parts all over my floor"  have not used the kick start yet but i am sure its goin to work. the e-starter works instantly and the idel is set kinda high, There are some other small things that need done like washing it and I need to do some small repairs to the plastics., I am not stressin it they are not falling off and its not a show bike I got it running to ride and have some fun with so I am not worried if its not just perfect " i am sure not perfect" guess its off to zzz wish me luck getting it finished ( is it ever finished really )
