Love the speedo mock up, looks beautiful!
'73 CB750k engine, hubs, and a '76 tank, on 'a 78 frame. Go figure.

Looking great man!

Thanks guys...though this is my first CB 750 build...I am am already working on building another one after this one that will have a vintage aircraft flare to it  ....polished aluminum parts and tank complete with rivets..and an airspeed indicator used for speedo...slowly gathering parts since i need to make use of the second engine i have on the floor...BUT ..one project at a time...because of the budget thing. This one is progressing slow but so far so good ..and i think it will be  awesome when done.
