build thread

Build this bike a little over a year ago and finally have some time to post it up in this forum. Fairly knew to posting on forums. This build took me clost to a year to build and made sure I didn't cut corners. Focused in the importance of detailed work. Hopefully you enjoy.

Evening all. So previously I had owned sports bikes, but a career in the Army, playing rugby and going to the gym took a tole, so I have recently sold my 2000 Honda SP1 and picked up a pretty clean, running and MOT'd '78 CB750 SuperSport. I have decided to turn it into something fun. A...

Hello, I am new here and wanted to say hello to everyone. I am in the early stages of my project an 81 cb750c with 14,000 miles....any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated....still trying to figure out if I can post photos?

So I picked up a 80' cb750c a couple weeks ago Started tearing it down completely was thinking about doing a single sided hard tail before I realized the frame is bolted together...I have autocad and solid edge experience so still might try and design a weld on single sided hard tail kit and...

Hi, I'm completely new to the Honda world, and I want to build a bike like this one : I was wondering if this bike: would be a proper basis for it? If not, what other kinds would be appropriate for the project? The "target" bike was built from a honda cb750kz and the "source" one is a...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and new to on-road bikes in general! I picked up this '81 CB750 the other day after doing a lot of research on café platforms and as you all know, if you research café racers the name "Honda CB***" comes up again and again. so the bike was for sale for $900 and...

I just bought this 1979 cb750L for a great price.. runs great and only has 14000 on it.. I am gonna swap out many parts to transform it to a cafe racer. Here is what I have to work with:

As you may notice, this is my first post/thread on CB750.com I wanted to share a few photos of my build in progress for your enjoyment, criticism, ideas, etc. I purchased this bike in September and it had 8,000 original miles (original owner). It wasn't in perfect condition but it was in very...

New to the forum. This is Lucy. She's a '73 750 I got from a friend that used to work in the bike shop with me. We're closing down the shop so she was a parting gift. I've loved CB750s since My 92 Nighthawk, Reba. Right now she's pretty rough. Engine needs rebuilt and there's alot of...

I'm back. I just can't stay away from these old Honda CB750 choppers. It's an addiction. A couple of weeks ago I got the opportunity to trade my wifes XS400 for this gem. A 1970-ish CB750 Santee Rigid Arm Chopper (as Santee called the frame back in the day). I traded this: For this...

Hi, all. New to the group. My primary bike is an '02 Shadow Sabre. I'd been looking for a project bike for a little while, but everything was too expensive, too junked, etc... Lo and behold, a '78 CB750F pops up on Craigslist last week for a good price. Runs great, all electric works...

I bought this bike a couple weeks ago and its currently down to nothing but a frame. When I bought it you could tell it leaked oiled and I was told I should do a head gasket form the previous owner. The PO gave me a new gasket set when I bought the bike so I figured it needed to...

Recently I purchased a 1980 CB750c in northern Michigan. I wanted something I could work on and get involved with. I just left my girlfriend so I needed something new to throw money and time at. I got it for a fair price given its condition. The first thing that screamed out at me was that...

This bike is being built in Central Point, Oregon by Ray Wasson and Tom Smurzynski at Unique Fabrication. Tom Smurzynski and Ray Wasson have built many race cars over the years, but now have started building custom Honda's as another addition to Tom's business. I am Ray's son and will be the...

It came like this. The whole bike looked like this. Some wet/dry emery, steel wool, and elbow grease and she looks like this. Everything but the swingarm, engine, and oil tank came off and the frame sprayed with engine enamel. Cleaned and polished carbs, rebuild not needed yet. Re-did...

Hi all, Ive been here a while lurking in the background and figured its about time I posted some shots of what im attempting to ressurect! As with everyone money is very tight at the moment and im quite time poor also, so this will be a slow moving build for the most part. Im trying to do as...

New member to the forum, just getting started on a new project…. Recently aquired a 1978 Honda cb750k and began the process last Saturday.. Removed a bunch of weight and trying to decide how far we want to go with this one. It's my understanding in order to remove the valve cover you have to...

Ive wanted to build a cafe racer for a while now and finally decided to take the leap. I found a 1981 CB750F on craigslist for $700 with a clean and clear title so i decided to check it out. I test rode it and it ran beautifully...nice smooth throttle and smooth shifting. I ended up talking the...

Here is my barn find.:D Picked it up 2 weeks ago. The inspection sticker on the fork is from 1978. The gas tank looks like the fuel has been in there that long.:eek:

Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I just purchased a 1977 hardtail from a guy down the street. He was moving and didnt have room to take it. He wanted 2k for it, but I talked him down to 1500. I thought it was a pretty good deal. The bike is no means a show bike, but I like...

Help Where should I begin? I picked up this 82 CB750C as a canvas to build my first cafe racer. So far I have added cafe bars and removed some non-essential touring items. Besides rebuilding the front brake calipers and replacing the master cylinder. It is in great riding condition and of all...

Long time reader, first time poster here. I've been riding an '88 Shadow VLX that started as a bucket of parts since 2008, but always had the itch for a 70's CB750. After getting serious on Craigslist these last few weeks I came across a '74 for $200 outside of Nashville, and I couldn't pass it...

ii am in the process of purchasing a picked clean bare bones CB750 rolling frame with engine. i may build it up into a cool cafe or combine it with my current GS750.

I've been wanting to start a thread about my K6 but have been putting it off until somebody asked me about it. I don't have all of my pictures since my last computer died so I'll have to start when I'm into the project a bit. Here's the story behind the bike. When I was 18 somebody I knew had...
