Newbie - South East
« on: September 17, 2015, 10:04:15 AM »
Morning All,

Recently bought a CB750 for a cafe racer project. I am missing so many bits that I should probably just call it a frame with potential!

French, lived in the UK for many years so no need to explain to me what banter means  ;)

I look forward to seeing what people are up to (ie: restoration, mods...)

Thank you All for the warm welcome.

I have a 1978 CB750 frame with V5 in my name and also a rusty tank; I am gonna need pretty much everything else.

The idea is a cafe racer with USD front end conversion and monoshock.

The first piece of puzzle is an engine for that frame. I will post an advert in the appropriate section asap.

A 1978 frame will make it an F2 or K7. That puts it right down my street. Welcome to the forum.

Check out Bike bits in Ramsgate.
Rumor has it he has a few breakers tucked away if you can persuade him to part with them!
Will be my first port of call for spares.
