CB750 Cafe Project Cpt.A
« on: July 05, 2009, 03:03:10 PM »
Alright gents. I feel now is as good a time as any. I picked my 1978 CB750 off Craigslist for $500.00. It ran fine has 23,000 on her. She idled rough but once she got going she was purring along. Now i have not decided on exactly what is going on, mostly for the fact that later on i would be like ohhhh,ya that would have been fantastic. So any ideas from your creative minds would be taken into consideration.





I got her stripped the engine is waiting to come out, i have not decided on what it is i am going to do to it but paydays coming up and feel the urge to spend. ;D


(how about those phone pics)

Have you checked out the inspiration gallery?  That will give you enough ideas to severly damage your wallet.

Looks like a good bike to start with.

I think I have that same seat in storage.... and the 3ft sissy bar that matches it  :P. I agree, ride it till you HAVE to pull the engine. Winter'll be here soon enough  ::)

Ya i hear ya. But i have another bike that is keeping me occupied now, so it is either this or i will never stop playing Call Of Duty 4 and well quite frankly when i play golf nobody's happy. 

That seat is amazingly comfortable.
