Bought me a CB750 for my birthday
« on: July 20, 2009, 06:58:54 AM »
Ever since I stumbled into Benjiescaferacers I've been wanting one.  Not as radical a bike as Benji builds, but something with that '70s look.  I almost picked up a new Triumph Bonneville, but then came to my senses when I realized my bike would exist mostly for tinkering.  So one day I found myself with a few G's in my pocket and the bike I had been looking for turned up on Craigslist about an hour from home.  It was in beautiful, yet used, condition and I bought it on the spot.  I put about 100 miles on it over the course of a month and realized that the front brake sucks and the seat foam was about done.  Solution was a Giuliari reproduction Cafe seat and the dual-disc conversion (knowledge compliments of these forums/anubis cycles and eBay, eBay, eBay).  The rotors have been cross-drilled and the new SS cables are fed by the master cylinder from a '75 Goldwing.

I'm pretty active in my Buell forums and have found lots of good rides and friends, so I figured I'd come out of lurker-mode over here and innerdeuce myself.  Hi.  I'm Scott.  Or Scotteronomy if you're into the whole brevity thing.
