New guy here...Here's my '72 chopper project..
« on: October 16, 2012, 03:04:22 PM »
I'm Fred from upstate NY, I just picked up this project. Its a '72 C&G Frame, Hallcrafts 19in front wheel and drum, Unsure of what the rear wheel is and unsure of the springer. I had intentions of selling it but now I'm looking for a 750 for it! I've tried finding old info on these frames and came up with nothing. I'd appreciate any info anyone has. Thanks, Fred.

Nothing screams 70's retro like a cb750 chopper. Find a motor and a Led Zeppelin t-shirt and you're ready to rock. Lots of knowledgeable guys on this site, you can also look at cb750chopper.com, but keep posting here, not enough chopper builds.

You know you've achieved perfection in design, not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing left to take away.

Thanks guys.. the hunt is on for a engine. I've got a spare 750 in pieces that has a cracked case. But I'm lookin for a complete rebuilt mill with low miles and maybe some good hipo parts in it. Fred..
