Topic: CB750 Cafe Project (yes another one)

[walkingchaos]

ok so this is my first project so progress might be slow and suggestions and advice are welcome.

heres where we started . . .





First round of disassembly . . .





Second round . . .




Quick test fit on parts on F code frame . . .




The shop . . .

So im going to cut off the rear pegs on this frame ( if i use it ) , media blast, and powder coat. Also im not sure what bike the swing arm below came from. where the F code swing arms different then the K codes ?

biggest issue you might have is that the F's used a disk brake, thus the swing arms are a little bit different as well as the brake peddle area on the frame (kicked out a bit further t make room for the mechanisims.)

Goos lookin start, though.

Mind if I ask about that tail section? Off another bike or custom?

[walkingchaos]

do you mean the seat ? Yes its a custom piece made by a local guy. He made 4 then killed the mold i guess. Its nice thick fiberglass so im hoping ill be able to make it work. Its a bit more shallow then id like

[ev0lve]

Yep the seat. Looks fairly awesome I think 

[walkingchaos]

hehe thanks . . . no i just have to make it work . . .

man working on these things is addictive. i thought doing cars was bad but this is even worse. parts are cheaper, easier to find, and the bike is alot easier to work on then a car

Picked up a different rear wheel for the bike today. Its a 16" wheel, not sure of the width but it fits the bike perfectly.
