LOL, that is actually a kewl ride.  It has a seat that goes on the back for 2up riding.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

I thought I would drop in some before's, during's and after's ..... I always enjoy seeing how a bike transformed through the build!  It started as a 1978 CB750K that was dormant for a decade.

Most of you know it's a 850cc "Git Kit" bike with an aluminum replica tank from Ireland and Airtech seat.  I used a GL1000 front end, A D.I.D. 18 x 3.00 aluminum rear rim, full Dyna ignition/coils and cut down, cleaned out and rewelded stock pipes.  Most everything else is pretty obvious from the pics.

Some of the best pics I took were before the seat was made ... I did all the work except the 850 engine build, the paint job, powdercoating and the seat upholstery.  Thanks for the consideration!  Mike

Before:



During:




And after:

        I'll tell you that there are a lot of bikes on this place that there is no way I could Safely ride them. I'd fall off and wreck, because I'd be looking at all of the details of each one AS I TRIED TO RIDE IT! ::) :D
