newbie here . . '77 CB750F
« on: March 12, 2017, 05:20:26 PM »
I am a bike and car guy. I do restorations on vintage cars mostly, Mustangs more than others. I have built a few bikes, modified etc. I am a Kawasaki and Harley guy mainly, but I have always liked the CB750s and what you can do with them. I'm not after the fastest anymore .  . . so building a brat/cafe/??  750 Super Sport has been a desire. So I picked up a nice 750 Super Sport and plan on making some easy, but obvious, changes in the racing look direction. If anyone has any technical question I can help with shoot them my way. I used to teach Autoshop and obviously am a paint person. Let's have fun.

Pete,

After you get 10 posts in, you should be able to start posting photos.  We like photos!

What condition is the 750F you picked up?  What do you have in mind by "racing look direction"?  Fairing, clip-ons, rear-sets, CR-style gas tank and seat?
