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 guy down to $550 and rode it home. Gonna end up stripping it down completely and rebuilding it from the ground up...Ill keep updating this thread as i make progress

Here is when i first took a look at it
