81 CB750F Cafe Racer project

nhowells
Hi all, Just joined this forum. After a 10 year hiatus, I have re-joined the land of 2 wheels with my recent purchase of a 1981 CB750F. Got this for a great price (under a grand) on ebay. Tipping the good price was due to not being made in the 70's - and therefore not being as sought after. Still a great looking platform. Have included some pics of what it looked like when I picked up - and some of the subsequent photo's as I strip the fat from it.As advertised

Thanks mate. Couple of questions - bear with me as I am new to forums! Do I hot "reply" to continue adding to my forum? I could not seem to find any other way. Also - the first photo went in nicely - second is too big (as my wife always says to me). How do I fix this?

Yes you just keep replying to post more. On the photo, click on edit. You can replace the picture, and use the resizing feature to reduce the picture.
