New member from Minnesota
« on: January 24, 2011, 05:25:23 PM »
Hello, Just picked up a 74 cb750 that I plan to turn into a cafe style bike. Previous owner tried to make it a chopper. It looks pretty clean just missing stuff (seat, gas tank, gauges) and the electrical looks pretty messed up. Already have the engine removed and am fixing the neck, bringing it back to stock (see pic), and having everything blasted this weekend. I have read and learned a lot already but will probably need some help putting it back together since I don't know exactly what I am missing yet. Do the front tubes look like they are original or do they seem longer? Any idea what the original length is?

Welcome aboard. In regards to putting back together, I hope you snapped a bunch of pics of the tear down process. Good luck.

Front end looks to be at least  4 to 6 over.  If you post in items wanted you should eventually be able to get a set from a member, or try Ebay. Have fun and welcome...Larry
