This is a 1978 Honda CB750F built as a 70s period correct american cafe bike.
My father and I will be building this bike. It is all handmade in my Garage.
The bike was purchased from Cerberus Motorcycles in San Diego CA. for $1250 with no wiring and the rest was complete
update
Finished the Build in August of 2014.
It's first ride was in Sturgis, South Dakota for the 2014 rally. Sturgis is a life changing place everyone should go.
The bike has been a weekend riding bike. I recently had a child and it is time to sell the bike. It will be going on the Mecum auction block June 3rd 2017 in Las Vegas, NV.

Home and ready to be changed for life.
Lets build a tail from fiberglass
Im thinking a 4 into 1 exhaust
Scaling the bike.
She weighs in at 488 lbs
Stripping the tank with paint stripper.
She needs some work
De-tabbing the frame for the new seat and tail
Clean frame
Arts and crafts time
Time to cut
This is the start. I need to fine tune the design.
I designed my own tail out of foam. It resembles the Kawasaki tail with some flare.
Taped and ready to be waxed and fiberglassed. This took some time.
Prepping the tail with some cheap wax I found at the auto parts store.
First layer of fiberglass.
I sanded the first layer and added a second layer of fiberglass. I have about 12 hour invested so far.
After 2 layer of fiberglass, I was able to pull the foam. It is very solid and ready to be sanded.
I spent about 4 more hours sanding. I then took the tail to my body shop guy to have him do the fine tuning and get it to primer.
Wire wheeling the tank
Filler panel for the tank.
We are going to fab in a new brass fuel cap.
I was not able to find a rear set that fit the 78, So I made my own. Dime City pegs, used the stock master with brackets that I made.
Did my own carb rebuilds.
Wiring and switches
Oil PSI Gauge
I made these because all the aftermarket products are shit. i will have them chromed
Tail light
Coming together
