1974 Honda bobber project
« on: June 04, 2010, 05:54:47 PM »
This is my 74 Honda cb750 hardtail bobber project. I bought the bike running, and decided to tear it down and redo it my way. The picture of the bike in the gold is what it looked like when  i  bought it, and the pic with the green frame is the progress i have made on it.

here is an updated picture, hopefully i get the motor in this week. Does anyone have any tricks or ideas on an easy way to install the motor without scratching or banging the frame much?

theres one guy on here that used milk jugs, a section of pipe and some jack stands...  hung the motor on the pipe supported by the stands on top of the crates, then inched the frame over.

other than that, set the motor on its side with lots of padding underneath, lay your frame down over the motor, bolt it up and then pick the bike up.  this seems to be the most common way.  don't forget to tape the crap out of your frame!!

what color green is that, and was it painted or powder coated?
