CB750 CAFE 1

My Honda 1980 Honda CB750 dohc cafe bike! Took about 1 1/2 yr to build. Bought it out of a junkyard for $200. Motor was seized, no seat, wiring fried, everything f@$%...

Sooo... I bobbed the frame a little, rebuilt entire 750 engine from ground up with cb900 cams and carbs, new pistons, rings, seals, crank and rod bearings, cleaned tranny, found nos cylinder std. bore, new valves/springs/seals/lapped, timing chains, gaskets, clutch, stator, new factory wiring connectors, new fork seals, rear shocks, etc...

Then for fun, I mounted a 2002 CBR swingarm and rear wheel to the back, with a couple of shock mounts welded on for that old school look.

Forks came off a gl1000, old school steering damper, Vance & Hines Sidewinder header attached to a ti muffler.

Gauges are killer Motogadget mini, for a clean look.

Got a killer Power Arch ignition from Cycle X.

Stainless brake lines....and much, much more.

I just wanted to get it running originally, but it turned into a HUGE OBSESSION.

Anyway, after two years and about $8 k, it runs incredible!!!!
