Not your standard CB750 restoration, it's more a sample of "Deviant Behavior". Slated for completion summer 2010 I have much more to do before I knock it down to apply paint and polish. I have ridden her to test some key design areas with minor changes on the blackboard.

Here are a few images to give you an idea of what she will become

What frame and tank are you using?

What exhaust is that?

I like the way it follows the line of the lower frame rail.

Cqyqte · « **Reply #4 on:** December 13, 2009, 03:53:55 PM »

The tank is from Kustom Khrome and the frame is a CycleX pro-boxer with an 18" rear and 21" front. The tank was an 1 1/2" too long for the frames backbone, so I needed to scallop the sides of the tunnel to make room for the seat side bars.

The donor bike had a 4-2-1 exhaust with the Kirker megaphone. I chopped the 4-2-1 and made a 4-1 and used the original Kirker megaphone. I am going to ceramic coat the primaries and collector pipes flat black and rechrome the megaphone.

That sets it off, lets it flow real nicely.

Yeah, that is a nice looking ride you've got there. I like the pipe!

Cqyqte · « **Reply #9 on:** December 14, 2009, 02:52:31 PM »

Thanks for the comps... I'll keep you advised as to when she is done.

Yes very modern looking I love the rear wheel. Can't wait to see it finished!

This bike has been nominated in the "bike of the month" thread, anyone wish to second that...

What front end setup is that? Looks beefy

What about the rear disc?

Cqyqte · « **Reply #13 on:** December 15, 2009, 04:24:40 AM »

It's a DNA wideglide front end I bought from Liquid Choppers, they also sell NOS pieces for the CB750's. The rear disc I bought from the Wheel Shop in Pheonix Az when I went to the Grand Canyon this year, I don't know what it's off of, just know it'll fit an '84 to '96 Harley. I brought 50 pounds of chrome back in the airplane. They loved me at the security gate.... ahahahaha!

HedNut · « **Reply #14 on:** December 15, 2009, 04:31:24 AM »

I'm not a chopper guy....but the way you put that CB together makes me wanna be one! ahah Good job... Love the bike, and can't wait to see it complete.

Cqyqte · « **Reply #15 on:** December 15, 2009, 02:33:24 PM »

To be honest I am not a fan of the old school choppers with the peanut tank, extended forks and sissy bars. I wanted to create something that gave that "boardtrack style racer" with a modern look. Not sure what she'll look like with paint, but that's what I'm planning. Thus the name "Deviant" which will be worked into something, ie battery cover or seat leather.

Mick

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 15, 2009, 06:15:10 PM »

Cqyqte,
Thanks for the info. When I save up an extra $500 I may have to pull the trigger...

Did it bolt on ok or did you have to do some mods to make it fit?

Trav-i · « **Reply #19 on:** December 15, 2009, 06:22:17 PM »

Just gotta say that's a mighty fine lookin bike ya got there

. It's good to see some other people building cool looking hardtails. I'm looking foward to seeing your progress. My bike is going for paint and powder coat this winter as well.

Good Luck
Travis

Would have like to have used the holidays to work on mounting a rear fender, but the fenders didn't arrive in time. Always the way, things never arrive when you want them!

Cqyqte · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2010, 07:42:06 AM »

Been awhile, working now and then to finish all of the fabrication on this build. Last week the last of the welding on the frame was completed. I sent the header pipes off to be ceramic coated along with a couple of boxes of small parts for powdercoating. I found a leatherworker close to home and sent my seat pan to be covered... I think he did a great job

Just the tins need to be sent to the painter as soon I get some cash saved up. Going to spend some time now finishing up small details, painting and heat shrinking wiring. Jeez I hope I remember how everything goes back together!

Forgot to add the last pic before I tore her down for paint

Nice little hardtail you have built there!

The hardtail I had used to shake stuff loose all teh time, so I advise the usage of locktite on re-assembly...

Is the motor a stock 736cc?

What color.....black? (that would be the way to go for me PERSONALLY)

Thanks Joe, it's one of Ken's (CycleX) pro-boxer hardtails and red locktite flows through my veins.

No the motor is one of Ken's Streetfighters, so there are 849cc pistons in it with the PowerArc ignitions. I have only rolled it around the parking lot a couple of times, so I don't know what she'll do. But she sure sounded real mean with that exhaust with no baffles.

A man after my own taste, there is only one color for a bike and black she will be. Can't wait'til spring. I'll be broke but pleased I think.
