Google "Gaslight, Alfred Hitchcock". You might want to check, for it on Netflix.

Everyone sees blue and green differently.
Same with red-orange.

If you see red as grey then you really are "colorblind".

If you are colour blind, which I am, you see red as red.  It's just that it's your red.  If someone that's not colour blind saw what I see, they might call it grey, but then they might also call it yellow or blue, we just don't know because you can't see what I see.  Another way of looking at is that I'm not colour blind, it's the rest of you that call colours by the wrong name.

I found a guy on Craigslist who sold his 750 for a very nice Harley. Well he listed all his parts under CB 750 instead of CB750. I ended up taking everything for my 2012 summer chopper build. I got a Niche exhaust, chrome motor mounts, oldschool sissy bar, 13 cables set including throttle and clutch. Chrome pegs, aftermarket chrome kick stand, Dyna electronic ignition, one stock 77/78 cb750k stock forks and one with 8 over. One chrome set with 8 over also but don't know what year Honda they belong to. All got to find me is a frame. These guys are the one's, anybody know? and these front brake also, they're nicely polished but don't know year? Thank you!

You found a gold mine. That set of forks is from a 69-72 CB 750. the front break is a 69-78 K model caliper.

I'm not sure what front break, you have, but it will work, for duel disc breaks. If, you want the break line to come out the back side just pull the seat out of the bleeder hole, and put it in the line hole. Then put the bleeder in the other hole.

Thanks Tools for your help. I'm sure you heard of Denver Choppers. I want to build a bad ass chopper by finding a Denver frame, but, then I think he only built about 2000 frames and they're rare. Since his shop was in Hollywood my chance should be good. It's a 1 1/2hr drive from here and been checking on L.A. to  San Francisco's craigslist. The second thing Denver did build the first Hondamatic and I thought my motor is a great start for that instead, what a better way to cruise in a chopper right? I want to use my automatic for that and just use the other to just to hit those gears hard! So, I'm leaving the hondamatic the way it is till I find a frame, then swap the motor out for the other. Then plan with automatic frame before the swap is to cut the neck, rake the frame, add the 8 over forks, do a drop seat, take the rear wheel off a regular cb750 and swap the hub for a front one, and add drag bars. But will the tire come close to rubbing the forks? Thanks!not only a legend bit also a Honda rider

Red at Cycle one can build, you a copy of a Denvers frame (he has a Denvers copy in the shop right now), and even make the mounts fit the matic. I just had him build a hard tail section, for my matic.

Since I have had Choppers in the past, and never had a Bobber I am trying to go Bobber. I want something light, and maneuverable, for bar hopping type stuff. Now if I could just stop watching the old 60's, and 70's biker movies.
