[Mopar244]

I must know where you came up with those wheels ! Please tell! Your bike is awesome dude!

 

[Mopar244]

Sorry, I was referring to the wheels/tire combo on the Menace just in case that last reply didn't work correctly . Awesome looking ride !

My 82, its a Brat and is called Menace

Have a look at the carbs, so much easier to dial 2 in than opposed to 4! Cycle X is the only shop selling the kit I think.

There are more pictures of the build and the bike in the Gallery

I love the chrome spoked/black rim combo....... Any suggestions or tips on doing mine that way?

Gorgeous.

Bought this bike in card board boxes. Doing everything in my garage. Its a learning experience for sure. The fender is cut and fit, just dont have a recent pic up. i know its not a show bike. But hope to have it screamin through Pittsburgh soon (regardless of the weather)

I just showed your bike to my wife,wondering how it is possible to get a motorcycle in that condition.It must have been outside all of it's life

 

[velsu]

Your bike is what I dreamed/planned 1982,when I bought my K2.Now it's 2014,and the bike is still looking everything else,but chopper.Today,for me,to build a bike like Yours,would be so expensive that maybe I will keep it like it is now

 

[Vicman]

Velsu,
Who's bike are you referring to?

 

[dan1951]

I,m confused too Vicman.

RE: Black rim & chrome spokes

A few years back I helped a friend do this same look to his bike, Remove the spokes media blast the rim and have it powder coated and relace the wheel.

 

[The Menace]

Thanks, I just got off a Supermoto before this bike and loved the feel of that F 17x3.5 R 17x5, stable quick to get to speed and plenty of tire choices. It may of also helped that a shop I knew of was selling a rim set.
Thanks glad ya like it.

Here's an updated pic of my "HondaHa" 1974 CB750 SOHC with a front end from a '81 XS650 including the 64 spoke wheel, caliper, disc, fender and forks. The update is the 64 spoke wheel and the floating / drilled disk.

CR750 tank?

1980 cb750f - still needs some leather on the seat.

 

[losttravlyr]

this is a 78 i built that i am getting ready to remove the engine for a redo. dunno if i am going back with this chassis or after rebuilding this engine use it in a very very sad shape stock 75 that i am awaiting a title on before really getting into cleaning it up. the 75 has been sitting since 81 with a hole in the case where the chain busted it. it will need a lot but working on them is as much fun as riding them so decision decisions

[edit} crappy cell phone pics,but all i have for a camera

 

[Hippie459MN]

losttravlyr, That thing looks sweet. I would love to see more picks of it. I say keep the rigid myself.

Hi all,
even though I'm not done I thought I would join this thread.
My very budget, very humble build, compared to most other builds on this site it's amateurish, don't laugh please.

Looks good Daren. Lots of guys here on pretty tight budgets. Just makes you more creative. I learned to weld, polish, and make brackets because I couldn't afford to have someone else do it.

 

[Daren]

Much appreciated, welding is one of those things I always wanted to learn but never seem to get the time.
Looking forward to seeing your finished project, looks sweet already, very clean.

Bought my first CB750four a week ago - 1975. Couldn't wait to strip all that road stuff off, found a nice bike underneath. Bit of a tune-up after sitting covered for a long time - I Love It! Been riding a 1971 CB350 for a long time, this is quite a change . . . but feels very familiar in a much bigger way.

Ordered stock bars and grips, headlight ring kit, and then onto recovering a seat I found locally.
