I could not agree more! building it yourself will bring you so much personal satisfaction, not only when you are done but getting to build it is enjoyable too! And I totally understand about changing your mind through the process! I am constantly changing things up on every build I do!

Well after a year break due to house repair to get on market followed by failed listing...then more repairs and relisting and finally selling and moving.

I am finally getting back into this and boy am I glad!!!

Took the frame to the powder coater today.  Frame, swing arm, battery box..etc.  All getting shiny black after blasting.  After I spoke with the guy I have decided I am going to take some more parts to them on Tuesday as I thought some things could not be powder coated

Glad to be back!!

Do yourself a favor and don't buy the 'push' throttle cable.  My 71 CB500 does just fine with just the 'pull' cable even though it came with both.

Anybody done that with a 750?

Yes. Many times.

Forgot to mention there's a bunch of Hondamatic triple trees - just not sure if they'd work.

Frank, Nice work! Don't forget to pull the oil passage restrictors going to the cam towers. They should be cleaned out and new o-rings installed.

They look awesome..better than expected.

Super Wet Black is the color.

A few pictures in the garage.  Will get better pictures during the day.

Did not notice the dust till in the pictures.  :-X

Yea nerves a little on edge after this step is done..not sure why...I think its excitement coupled with nervousness of screwing it up.

Very Nice! This is part in the project where the adrenaline starts to flow. Look forward to seeing your progress.
