New Build!!

[preddy08]

Drove up to Souix Falls SD last saturday and picked up a 1977 cb750 for pretty damn cheap. I'm planning on doing a modern cafe racer style bike. Right now I'm thinking of a R1 front end setup and a honda VFR single sidded swingarm.

Here's a pic of how she looks now

motorcycles with no pillion seat are for dudes lookin for other dudes.  JK (sorta) unless you are racing it.

bitchin Mano.  Cant wait to see it.. standards are the way to go, seems like the chopper fad is fading.... FINALLY.

No "2 years" memes yet

Happy for you Preds........I'm not into old motorcycles.......but with you working on it it's going to look bad ass.

If I was Preddy, I would have waited until the bike was done and say.. "look what I built" just to avoid the punishment of another build thread!
