LJWalter Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Hey remember back in the day when people used to talk & post about motorcycles on this site? Dont get me wrong, gun control debates are fun, just moving in a different direction for a moment. "Obama gona tak er guns"Here we go;I have wanted to do one for a while. Partnered up with a buddy and in October we picked up a 77 Honda CB750F Supersport. Decent condition & the price was right. Low budget build, goal is to stay below $2500 total spent. So far on track. Shortly after we got it;More updates coming soon! Edited January 10, 2013 by LJWalter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJWalter Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Rear shocks & forks gold. Just a small pop of color. Also re-built calipers & installed a master cylinder from a busa Edited January 10, 2013 by LJWalter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Polished/painted side case & going with a "Frankenstein" points cover. Really cool stuff, http://www.fb-stuff.com Edited January 10, 2013 by LJWalter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Going with Dyna coils/points & Accel wires. Carbs already had larger than stock main jets, so they just got a good cleaning. To increase air flow i went with some large k&n's. Had to raise the 2 in the center to insure no contact with the throttle cable. Edited January 10, 2013 by LJWalter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Lookin good! I go to www.cyclexchange.net for all my cb750 stuff, they have EVERYTHING. Also airtech makes a lot of nice cowl/seat pan combos and a few bikini fairings IIRC. Love the see-thru points cover, how much was it? Pm me if you need any parts, I may have something laying around you might want and keep the pics coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks Sam! Ill let u know if i do need something. The points cover was $50 shipped, not too bad. Find them here: http://fb-stuff.com Just a guy in New England making stuff. The fb is for "Franken-Bike"The tail/seat is the "bugeye" from Dime city; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 looking good, very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I like that tail, is that the tail light integrated into it? Sexy.... You gonna go clip-ons, clubmans or upside-down stock bars?I like the k&n filters, I went for the true race engine look and put some NOS polished aluminum velocity stacks on mine. Keeping that exhaust? Cycle x has some real nice setups in the $300 range. I'll definitely check out frankenbike. Did you go with the dyna-s inductive ignition or just replacement breaker points? It's hard to tell from the pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
