Cb750 cafe project

Ok guys so this is my first time working with a motorcycle period.
I love the way a cafe/brat looks and thats my goal to make this cb750
Into a cafe ... Its a DOCH so i know its not going to be as easy as the SOCH
Or the older bikes (mine is a 1981).
But this is what i got so far . This is what it looked like when i bought it

I clean engines with Easy Off oven cleaner, soap, and water. Then paint them with Rustolium Acrylic Enamel. You can paint the whole engine if you want.

Re: Cb750 cafe project

Thank you for your response , but do you take the whole engine apart or just clean just how it is?
