Hello, new member here that has been wanting to do a scrambler/tracker build for many years. With the extra time during the pandemic, the fire started burning again so I started to look for donor bikes. After lots of searching and passing on bikes that I later wished I had taken, I realized unless I made up my mind, this project would never happen... So I settled on wanting a Honda CB. I almost pulled the trigger a couple of times, but then came across a bike that really got my interest. 1979 CB750L. A previous owner had already started the build with a café racer as his end goal. Unfortunately he had some medical issues and had to sell it to come up with cash before he could get the bike completed. Claimed to have it running and taken a couple test rides but never got the carbs dialed in. He sold it to the kid I bought it from back in Jan of 2020. The kid had good intentions but having just started a family was short on time and ended up never touching the bike. He had posted it online, I contacted him and we ended up making a deal.
Goal is to transition this from the café style towards the scrambler I have always envisioned. Looks like there will be some challenges along the way, but excited to get started. I've tried to attach some pics and will be trying to document thing as progress is made. Currently going through the 4 boxes of misc. parts and trying to catalog them to come up with a shopping list. Certainly will have lots of questions as this will be my first build.
