'74 CB750K4 Cafe Project - Second Bike, First Build
« on: September 11, 2010, 04:11:12 PM »
Hello all,

I recently purchased a CB750K4 from my old neighbour. I don't know the history of the bike except that someone had converted some of the wiring to have double headlights. I got the bike and stripped it down. My goal is to modify the frame and attempt to put a thinner flat seat a la wrench monkees. The new parts I've got are:

-New Wiring Harness from partnsmore
-Set of allen key bolts for the engine case from someone here on the board?
-Stainless steel braided brake lines from slingshot cycles
-Clubmans

Things I plan on getting as things get further along:
-Pod filters
-Carb Kits
-Hondaman's ignition and swingarm bearings

I'm going to blast and powder coat the frame and various other pieces. I'm going to rebuild as much of the engine as I can for as cheap as I can and then paint it. I plan on powdercoating the rim and respoking the wheels.

I'd like to hear any advice you guys have, I've been lurking and reading many other threads.

Here are some 'before pics':
