CB750 Cafe project complete
« on: August 12, 2008, 03:22:03 PM »
Well pretty much complete. Still working on mirrors and maybe some turn signals. Also may make some jetting changes, need to get a few more miles on it before I make any changes.

Its not real bright and flashy but I kind of like it. I initially planned on painting all the white bits but just hand polished them a bit.

WOW!! Nice job!  And now for the usual questions ;)  Are the fairing, tank and tail vintage or reproductions?  And do you have any close-up pics of your rear-sets? ;D 

Again, killer work man!!

Fairing is vintage Read-Titan, tank and seat are vintage Dick's Cycle West. Original finish on fairing and seat. The tank pads are actually from a Honda Dream.

Yes, a mount needs to be rigged. For now I just took the whole rear switch off.

Thanks for the pics, I see that those are Raask rearsets.  +1 for what Kottke said, where did you find those #$%*in velocity stacks? :o
