Hi Pete put a side pic on looking from the angle seems to make bike look long, Best bet get loads of opinions I just fitted a fairing to mine
everyone except me thinks it looks good. Yours may look a lot different when painted.

Ditto UK Pete.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Green 1, let him sell it and get some cash back, just don't let another Honda owner buy it! ;D
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Cheers guys, I think the more I look at it the less I like it.

Its specific to the CB750, so probably wouldn't sell easily.

I think I'll try and mod the tail piece to something more conventional, its fibreglass so should be quite straightforward....

It does look properly scary on the bike, just looks like there is not much to salvage asthetically speaking.
