just a quick hello from the sunny uk.
i recently aquired a tyred looking 1980 cb750f for a bit of a project. im building it into a modern classic.
im gonna keep the origional look just bring all the brakes tyres suspension and wheels a bit more upto date.
the bike when i got is was all there just tatty.

im fitting 2001 kawasaki zzr600 fron and rear to it but keepin the twin shock.
its going well so far,  the front is all fitted and the rear all i have left to do is make the mounts for the rear shocks and get them welded to the swing arm.

  Hello! Welcome!
That front end looks pretty darn good on there... Nice job.
Just a heads-up you want to copy the "direct link" from your photobucket account for the pic and use the "insert Images" button along the top of the text box when you post pictures here, not the [IMG]***[/IMG] code you might be used to on other forums.

Don't wait for opportunity to knock... kick the door down and drag the old harlot in!

well it runs at the min, just badly, ive yet to sort the jetting out but i wont bother until ive got the new exhaust on in the new year.
the bike is gonna be a sunny day and show toy so its not that important.
