Hello from Sweden
« on: June 21, 2011, 01:16:20 PM »
Hi
Name's Per. I live and work in south of Sweden.
Recently I bought me a 78 cb750f2 which lead me to tweakers thread - A second heart.

Right now I'm collecting parts for the chassi. I'm planing on have a somewhat complete roller before I start on the engine. (except for the parts I won't be doing myself.)
I will probably start a project tread as soon as I have something to show you guys.
In the meantime I will continue collecting parts and dreaming of what my bike will look like.

Here is a picture of the bike when I got it.


It's hard to tell from the pictures but it's a custom red paintjob done by the PO with a brush  8)
The seller told be The engine was in very good condition and had a low milage (considering the age)
When I got there after a long drive the engine was just working on 3 cylinders and the milage was 3 times of what the seller told me. But since I got it really cheap I couldn't resist.
Event though the engine wasn't running on all four It seemed quite nice for a 34 year old bike when the engine was disassembled.

Sorry for my bad english and keep looking for my project thread, Hopfully it wont take to long before I have anything to show you.

Hello Per.

If you need any encouragement, go visit Daniel Melander (DME)

He lives up your way and has built one of the finest cafe racers this forum has seen.
