Thanks for having me! soon will be working on a '80 CB750

[amat91]

Hey guys!

New to this site, been reading up on all the different members projects and figured i'd pipe in. Just bought a '80 CB750 rolling chasis and engine from a cycle salvage and the goal to build a complete bobber that is a BEAST! Tommorrow, a buddy and i will be picking it up, and shortly after will be working on it for sure! My plan was to get it after i sold my current bike (a small cm400 bobber) but now that it is well into winter, i will probably wait to sell it for my moneys worth. The difference between the two projects was that the 400 i bought completely running and just needed a few minor things done to get it to perform better. I havent yet done as much as this project will take (car or bike). Im expecting a money pit, atleast for awhile, but i feel its the pride that will come building a bike that noone else has. I predict that ill have tons of questions and by what i've read from you guys, im hopeful you guys will be a bunch of help!

Always happy to have a new member! One thing to consider with your model is that cb900 cams are supposed to fit and give a nice bump in power. There is more info in past posts. They are supposed to be drop ins though.

Thank you all!

Between work, school, duties at home, and trying to get my 400 up and running, i havent been able to do too much on my 750. Guess its true that its easier to start a project than it is to finish it. Good news though! The 400 fired up for the first time in like a month and a half! I just hope that this weekend i can wrap it up and by next week, with the end of all my finals, i can start pulling apart the 750. I did get it from the salvage yard, and here are some pics:




Funny story about the night i dropped the bike off at my house. I left it outside in the front since i couldnt find my damn key for the gate! I walk out in the morning and the bike was tossed on the ground and dragged as if someone tried to steel it! hell it was hard enough to "roll" it between two people thanks to the flats and bent fenders and what not. Well anyways i learned my lesson and found that damn key

Heres another pic of the "look" im going for more or less:


the tank is from my 400 i tried setting on there to get an idea... I will probably be getting a stock tank and using it (watching a few on ebay) that is unless my buddy comes through with his connection to get a custom tank built for cheap. I just bought a z handlebar for the bike, along with some spoked rims (thank god for ebay!).

Real soon i will be tearing it apart, cleaning, taking inventory and putting it back together! Im too excited to even sleep at night!

Interesting bike. Looks like a K model that someone has put comstars on. There is a guy doing a bike like yours into a chopper/bobber in the build section, but he has not posted anything in awhile.

I know how it feels to have a new project sitting in your shop and no time to work on it.Sleepless nights are part of the fun! Good luck with your bike...and keeping the bandits at bay
