CB750 Addict
Well, I know I havent posted any progress pictures of this and as soon as I get all the pictures on to my computer I will post them in this topic.
But here is what I started with....
1979 Honda CB750 in an Amen hardtail frame. I got the bike almost as what you see here and rode it like that for a year and a half. I did add the bars, controls, and clean it up a lot right away after I got it.
The bars are 15" TC Bros apes
Forward controls are the universal TC Bros forward controls and then modified a tiny bit to work on this frame.
Before...
And this was taken yesterday when I was bringing it home from the shop.
After...
Here is my new tail light and license plate holder I made as well. Not bad for about $7 worth of materials.
I replaced the AMEN gas tank and old Harley sportster rear fender that had seen a better day and got rid of the sissy bar and gave the new rear fender and the sportser king tank and new rear fender about 5 coats of Electric lime green and 4 coats of clear. Still needs a final wet sand and buff to really make it shine. All in all took me about 6 weeks from start to what you see here. All thats left to do is put some gas in it and go for a ride but thanks to mother nature, that wont be happening anytime in the next week.
Hope you like it and like I said, I will post more pictures very very soon. It looks like a whole new bike and I cant wait to go riding.
P.S. And yes I will be fixing the pods on the carbs and taking it in to get them tuned. It needs it really bad. lol
