Took a few pic of the two CB's together.

Completed the 1978 cb750f this past weekend.  

Plan was to keep this one close to stock with a vintage 

feel but add some modern upgrades.  Complete frame up rebuild.  836 engine with APE racing headwork.  Completely rebuilt bottom end and CR29 racing carbs.

Got a bunch of the wiring completed today.  Getting close to being completed, just need to complete the wiring and a few other small details.

Some of the other bits as I got them ready for this build.

Here is the paint for this build.  Stock CBX scheme, thanks Larry at Meticulous paint!

Started another build.  1978 cb750f that will lean on the side of more stock than not.


I spent some time in the garage yesterday and was able to get it into a roller.

DONE!

1977 cb750f, frame up rebuild.  915cc engine stage4 head by JMR racing, RS34 carbs, Dyna2000 ignition, HD primary and cam chains, M3 racing cam chain tensioner, APE extra plate race clutch and a few more bits mixed in there.

Just got back into town to find my freshly painted tins waiting for me.  I could not resist a quick mock up.  Thanks again to Larry at meticulous paint for his excellent vision and tremendous skills!

After going back and forth regarding paint for months I decided to get my bike professionally painted.  This was a difficult decision since my Dad laid down the original paint in the garage.  It looked great, but just wasn't what I had in my head for the bike.  I really wanted something unique but still had the vintage roots.  Since I am color blind I see colors differently than most, so I wanted a painter who I knew had great vision and would be honest with me if I the color combo I chose didn't work.  My inspiration for the paint was the new Ducati Monster evo.  I hooked up with my friend Larry at Meticulous paint and below are the results.  Larry is a very gifted painter and artist.  http://www.meticulouspaint.com/

I finally finished up the rearsets for my 77f.  Since only one company makes bolt on rearsets for the 1977 cb750f I worked with my good friends to make these happen.  Me and branden (has a amazing 78F) mocked everything up  how it needed to be to function correctly.  Our good friend Jim put his garage machining skills to work and made us some one off brackets that had a hanger for the new Brembo master cylinder complete with heel guards.  I decided to go with a set of the new Joker Machine universal arms, Thanks for the link Branden!
