Hello all! Rookie on the forum and at the motorcycle modifications.  

Basically, I recently purchased a 1982 CB750 that has been previously bobbed, but there is definitely room for improvement and personal touches.  I plan on loading some pics of before, during, and after.

Any help, advice, suggestions, critiques, or other comments will all be welcomed.  My goal is to keep this simple, cheap, and basic ... I am really digging the "rat rod" style, and appreciate the artistic license it provides (can also be read as "sloppy? It is supposed to be that way!") ...

Currently: I have unmounted the bobber seat as it was bolted to the frame with a single ill-fitting bolt and had no spring support ... In the process of building a support frame and getting proper bolts in place.

Also, the straight pipes need some new paint and rust treatment, so that is currently underway as well ... Work note: header wrap is some itchy, sloppy shtuff- long sleeves, pants, and gloves a good idea!

It is a running work in progress, and hope to keep the updates coming
