1971 CB750 Chopper custum build

I picked this bike up a while back, it's been sitting since 2008, been bugging the owner to sell it to me. He finally broke down and let me have it. The bike was built in the early 80's for displaying at the Spokane Auto/boat speed show. Needed quite a bit of work to get it running again. Rebuild the carbs, head seals were warn out, oil leaking out the front, valves off, timing off, spark arrestor had loose springs, quite a few more items. Repaired all of it (thanks to TOOLS help) and it now purrs. Rev it up and it sounds mean. Not the best pic, it my messy shop, took it yesterday. Too cold to take it out, but can't wait until spring!

Very cool. That's the first Invader rim I've seen with a disc on it. I noticed your kick starter, does it work OK in that position?

Any clue what frame that is?

Kick start works fine, the only problem is the foot brake. Really want to put forward controls on it, but with these pipes, I don't see any way possible. I was told it is a "Savior" frame.

Cycle one sells a really nice forward control kit that you can pretty much place the controls anywhere on the bananas (mounts).

Actually I meant "AMEN" frame, not a "Savior" frame.
