Larry...Thank you! your vision and painting skills really added the finishing touches to both bikes!

What a beautiful pair of bikes, tweakin. I can't pick a favorite. It's like trying to pick a favorite child. Both are so perfect in their own respective ways. Your attention to detail is so spot on for each of them. Can't wait to see brandEn's next to them. Proud to've been a small part of them all. Thanks, man.

Larry

I am pretty new to the forums and read through this entire thread (twice). To say you have inspired me is an understatement!

I have 2 78 750f's. After reading through this I have an idea of what I'm going to do with the one i'm not restoring. Thanks for this great read and the inspiration!

Thanks for taking the time to read through my thread. Great to hear you will be breathing new life into a couple F's.

Do you mind telling me what size tires you are running and where you got your bar switches? Awesome bike BTW!

I have been neglecting the 915 a bit this year since I picked up a modern sport bike but I still love getting out and ripping on it.

Here is a picture of me at this years Isle of Vashon. Another great year with 1000's of vintage bikes and vintage bike enthusiast's on a little island. This pic was taken on an upsweeping corner during the poker run.

What?! A modern sport bike?

So two killer cb750's and a Harley wasn't enough?! You have issues! And a very understanding wife! And I'm jealous!!

Out of interest, what sport bike did you get?

Great pics btw.

Maybe its addressed in the thread (I will have to look through the 30+ pages) but what LED mini-signals did you use? How bright are they? Do you feel safe with them?

HonderCB · « **Reply #806 on:** September 25, 2012, 02:23:50 pm »

i still get... um... excited

... when i see your bike tige. Gorgeous

tweakin · « **Reply #807 on:** September 25, 2012, 06:25:28 pm »

Yes, I do have some serious issues... and my wife puts up with all of them...

Actually I sold the Harley when I picked up the sportbike. I got a Ducati 848evo, it is soooo much fun to rip around on and I don't have to worry about scrapping chrome all the time, lol.

I am running a rear license plate that has led's integrated for the rear and the joker machine led turns in the front. I feel more than safe with my set up. If a cage is going to hit you, it doesn't matter what your blinkers are doing, lol.

Thanks Stev-o. I have wanted a Duc since I started riding, Here are a few pics. Still getting used to it so forgive the chicken strips. Nothing a few track days won't cure.

Ok, I wasn't jealous before but now with that Duc? Just kidding.

I love your '77 cafe,

What brand is that tailsection/seat and where did you get it? I'd love that for my '76 750F.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but it sounds like you found it in my thread.
Good luck with your build.

I remember when you picked up your tins you talked about getting the Ducati, and boy, that thing is gorgeous. Love the white body work and the red frame and wheels..great combo. I can see why you want to ride that thing..I would, too..a LOT. Soooo nice!

Thanks Larry, missed you at IoV this year.

Hi Tweakin, I've got a pic of your bike with the Comstar wheels on in my garage to inspire me as i attempt my first Cafe Racer project. I'm in the UK and i bought a US spec F2 last year and have finally got round to stripping it ready for the project. I don't intend to go as far as you with the build as i don't have the level of expertise as you have but with the picture of your bike in my garage i'm gonna give it a really good go. One thing i've noticed though is we don't seem to have access to custom parts as you have in the US so i maybe limited with how far i can take mine.

I would just like to say i have really enjoyed reading about your build, or should i say build's, and you have the most beautiful CB750 i have seen to date. Well done fella

tweakin · « **Reply #819 on:** November 23, 2012, 06:12:01 am »

Thanks p@ul! I hope you get as much enjoyment out of these 30+ year old machines as I do.

Hey you 2, PM me info on seats and tail pieces and how to do it. It's time to begin bike #2. I've pretty much decided to do it like you guys did. Bike #1 came out better than great so now I can play

The 1000 engine is figured out but I gotta come up with a modern front end solution that's not a PITA to fab. Mucho gracias.

Tweakin can you give the info on the seat base please, what make , model and where from. This seams to be the perfect dimensions and fit for the f2 but i can't seam to find one in the UK. I can see me having to source a lot of the parts i need from the US as the UK Japanese Cafe Racer market hasn't really taken off yet it seams
