My 1979 CB750(K?) RESTO BUILD

[ThatBroseph]

Hey everyone this is my first time building a bike by myself. I picked up this hacked up CB750 for cheap. The guy started to do a resto. I want to get this build finished as cheap as possible.


The guy I bought it from chopped the seat


He also chopped the side tubes, and I cannot find a good tank for it. Can anyone give me some advice on a gas tank? there is only a 13 inches on the back bone. Links would be much apriciated.


My todo list:

• 
  Remove everything from the frame (Completed 5/10/2015)

• Correct the frame INPROG

• Rust-X and repaint frame

• Redo the motor(Includes repainting due to rust) INPROG

• Refurbish Wiring

• Rebuild Carburator

• 

(Will be posting more todo's )

If you have any questions, comments, or advice it would be greatly apriciated! Again this is my first Motorcycle build, and I always can use the help!

Finally removed the Motor and front forks on the bike. Next step is to fix the frame then rebuild the entire engine!

Heres the progress update picture!

Began to fix the frame.. Pictures before/after

I'm nowhere near confident enough in my skills to take a project like this on. Excited to see what you do!

Looks good so far! If you need advice with the carbs let me know. I was so afraid to do mine at first, but I'm glad I did. I also have a 79 cb750,. So we should have the same carbs.
