CB750F1 78 Project

[martin_uk]

The cafe project is not fully finished,but I am thinking about the next one

I bought this in May 2014 along with another F1

Lots of bits missing, plus I used the engine to rebuild and put in my first,  stock F1.

However, thanks to Pete on here I have a dismantled engine to rebuild for this one.

Cost is a major consideration but I have bought quite a few of the parts, thanks Bryan for carbs but have just spent £500 at DSS and Cruisin image 

I do like the cafe style and I am thinking of a more ally theme, but also like the idea of a Bugati Blue.

Alloy rims would be nice.

I was a bit ahead of myself with zinc plating, as I already had quite a few bits done for last project using bits from a spare engine and have bought various job lots of bits since which I need to go through.

I am also wondering if this will be my last SOHC project, as I have run out of space

I can relate to the lack of space problem. Thinking of selling a bike or two just to make moving stuff around a bit easier.

It doesnt look too bad, but on close examination the frame has rust and finish not great, so have stripped frame ready for blast and powder coat, along with other black parts.
