My Bobber build cb 750 Leaf Spring

Its getting close to being finished. I fabbed up a leaf spring for the rear suspension. Thanks for looking!

Making Laps, Twisting the Throttle and Cruzz control, it just don't get any better!

Ok I did a little more work to my Bike today. I made some exhaust for it. I cut a cherry bomb muffler and took the baffles out and slide them into a piece of 2 1/4" exhaust tubing and domed the ends down. The bike has a nice sound now. It took the shrillness out. It also stopped the back firing when you leave off the throttle. I want to repaint them flat black but for today all I had was Alum High Heat paint. I also fabbed up some side covers for the bike. I put about 50 miles on it today. Its been about 10 years since I rode last. I forgot how much the wind blows you around if you get behind a big truck. Thanks for looking!

Never underestimate the power of human ingenuity. Although the original Honda engineers are probably rolling over in their graves, you put your own stamp on that machine. Congratulations, and nicely done.
I'll get mine out of storage this weekend, and maybe get some miles in.
