Thanks Daren. You have a good looking build, too. Is that a red stainless line going to the rear brake? Where did you get it?
That 82 is such a beautiful build, totally custom. I like those barebones bikes. What are those tires?
I've seen that carb setup on CycleX and on other bikes but didn't know if users
thought they were worth the price. I saw a 1 into 4 manifold on Ebay, much easier to dial in I guess.
Thanks for your comment on my bike, have a good one.
Thank you motogtp. Yes red stainless lines. I got lucky and found a hardly used set on Ebay cheap.
They were not made for my bike but one of the set fit my rear brake, so I had to match the front in red too.
I got the fronts from www.apexbrakes.com, they are reasonable and can custom make anything you want in many colors.

I've seen a couple people talk about the "usual upgrades". What do these upgrades consist of? I'm trying to remain stock as much as possible but I have put the PAMCO ignition on and my grandfather put a 4 to 2 exhaust on it before I acquired it. I'm also aware that I need to replace my swing arm bushing but haven't the time/money. It's hard to do lots of work on my summer daily driver while in college and working.

Daren - what bars are you running? Are they bolted to the fork legs above the triple tree?
motogtp,
yes, needing to lower the bike a little I passed the fork tubes through the triple tree by 2" and also got 11" shocks for the rear. Once you pass the forks through the triple tree you can't use the handlebar mounts and clubmans would not work, so I ended up getting some clip-ons. Since I installed headlight ears from a K series which cover the fork tubes there was no way to hook up the clip-ons below the triple tree. Worked out OK because I don't have rearsets and mounting above the triple tree allows me a more comfortable riding position, I'm not leaning over the tank as much. The trouble I ran into was finding some clip-ons which fit down into the recess around the fork tube on top of the triple tree. I can post some images if you want, let me know. Have a good one.
You may want to look into conical bearings for the headset, upgraded regulator/rectifier, oil pressure gauge (although not stock), upgraded fuse box, just a few things off the top of my ignorant head. Good luck, post images.

Yeah, I would like to see some pics. Where did you get them?
Search this eBay item number: 190714880810. The triple tree has a recess and flat spot where the fork tube protrudes. The clip-ons with the mounting hardware on the very end of the clamp don't fit into the recess. I don't have the tools to grind down the triple tree and make it look good so this was one option. These clip-ons fit snugly into the flat spot. The listing says "fixed" and I'm assuming they are referring to the angle because the length of the bar is adjustable. One thing I did encounter though is the master cylinder spout where it connects to the brake line has trouble clearing the clip-on clamp depending on the placement and angle. Hope this is what you needed, happy to help.

Hey guys, I'm new to this site.
I'm looking to build a cafe racer from this 1978 CB750F SS
I hate these comstar wheels and I will try to modify the rear wheel into a wired wheel.

That green powder coat looks great.

I already have a dual disc CB550F front wheel to replace the ugly Comstar

Daren - thanks for the pics. That is a great solution to cleaning up the "dropped front" fork tube look.

ok hear are some pictures of my bike it is an 1982 Honda 750 nighthawk (cb750 sc) which was made in 82 and 83 only from what I have found when I got the bike it had a windjammer on the front I took it off, with the slim line body the windjammer just did not look right on the bike. I just cobbled the front together to make it legal for the road till I can get something better I payed $350 for the bike but it barely made it home wide open in 3 gear doing 40 PO said it ran find till it fell off the trailer I had to fix the front brakes new battery one of the cam caps is damaged and leaking oil , with all this being the minor issues getting the engine running right is what I am working on took the carbs off found that boot 4 was on 1 boot 3 was on 2 boot 2 was on 3 and boot 1 was on 4 put them in the right order then opened the cards and sprayed the carbs clean fought with carbs to put them back in and now the bike runs at 3500 to 4000 rmp and no way to slow it down to idol took it down the road and back runs out fine just has the high idol going to take the carbs off again and clean them out again reset everything and hopping things go good for me
