My 1974 CB 750

I just got this a month ago and am so excited... As of now it is running great so really no engine mods need to be done now. I am slowly going to change this to a semi- cafe racer, but I really like the original look of the bike... I will keep you all updated! Good to be here.

Welcome to the forum. That is a nice looking bike. It is rare to find one with the original 4 into 4 exhaust on it.

Re: My 1974 CB 750

Interesting. Today I was fantasizing about making my bike lighter by removing the 4 into 4 pipes. You guys are right, that would take from the bike's identity.

Re: My 1974 CB 750

Everyone seems to really be interested in these OEM pipes... I did some research, and to find these new its just about the price I paid for the bike! I will definitely keep everyone posted When I do decide to sell them.

Cheers.

Re: My 1974 CB 750

An update for all... Just got the tank mounted... It took a bit longer because the old gas lines were toast so I had to replace. It was a bit tricky and to get to one outlet I had to remove the air box. I have recently replaced the rear brake light with something a bit more modern and brighter, and also switched out those old turn signals. Hope you like...

That Ole Girl is looking Hot

,
Pipes N Tank can make are break the look of the bike more then color,In my opinion.
My thought was to imitate the "Y" on both sides with a wide diameter piping.

I have my originals but they are not for sale. Replaced them with Mack 4 into 1 as to preserve the others while I ride.
