New owner of a cb750

Butterfacebikeshop
I have recently been given a cb750 by a buddy of mine for some work that I did for him. I am a HUGE Indian Larry fan and I am looking at building a tribute bike. Going to do a bobber style with a hard tail.....any of you all know where I can find a good website for tanks and such? Would love to go with a wider rear tire and a small 8 inch ape hanger...the paint is whats going to be wicked. Black gloss with metal flake, Rat Fink and Indian Larry stickers all over it then clear coated. I cant wait to get this project started. Any help would be great!!!

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a really neat project. It's about time we had something on here that was not a cafe bike. Pagucho has quite a few different tanks. However, you can get them cheaper off ebay. I just picked up a Mustang tank with duel caps, for $120.00, and free shipping. Also Cycle-one has a killer hardtail, for the CB 750's. I just got one, for an automatic. It was the first one they have made, for the matic. Also Cycle-one will get, you any part, you want. Just call, and tell Kate what, you are after.

TC Bros does have some nice stuff, but their hardtail is not as nice as the Cycle-one, and they are pricy on things like forward controls.

  Hello N Welcome
 Very much A Larry follower some might say,He did a lot of carving in his own bikes ,Paul Cox has lots of stuff besides stickers,,I think the tank and his chained frames were some of his best,Lost another great David Mann all within the same period,Both left a lot to be desired in bike building.
  Good luck can make you some custom designs myself if you have an Idea what you wont ,C.W.signs(curtis) can put it to vinyl for ya to.
