that is going to be one Kick ass ride!  I want to be your neighbor!  Any concern on the rear tire rubbing the seat bar?  In the pick, clearance looks minimal.

Any chance you want to post a video of that beast running!?!

That's flippin' nice!
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

fiberglass is easy acept for the sanding, and sanding, and sanding......did i mention the sanding. still working out a few kinks before turn it over. fixed a minor oil leak from the generator cover. i knew i didn't use enough sealer where the wiring harness came out. forgot to plug up the neutral light so i hade to take one cover off anyway. its kickstart only right now. i need a starter flywheel and a spedo cable. trying to find one cheap is a chore. total cost. $600 including the $80 purchase price of the bike. most expensive item was the $100 in tires. one word in tires, bikebandit.com. ordered tuesday at 2pm. they were at the house on thursday. also gonna throw a shout out to 10diamond, he actually did more hard work than i did, polishing welding, and he made the rear sets. he also did the sanding on the tail. i really can't tell you how much i hate sanding. competition honda as always hooked me up with the motor parts at a discount. if you live in the orlando are hit them up for oem parts, ask for Ben.

so whats next? as many know i sold trixie on ebay. i'm working on a 1972 cb750. i'm thinking 836, and soon another cb350. not exactly sure where i'm going with them, but one thing is certain, they won't have a black frame. they tend to talk to me and tell me what they want. well that's all for now.

cheers ;D
