Project Board / 1976 CB750 Cafe Racer Build
« on: April 04, 2016, 01:27:39 PM »
Good afternoon guys,
I joined the forum a while back and have been simply amazed at the amount of knowledge that the collective has here. A real gold mine of information and very interesting to read though the various posts.
Unlike a lot of the members here, I have very little mechanical or practical skill, or interest for that matter, to do my own build. I know plenty of friends who are well into years of restoring the same bike and not really closer to an end product. Fun for them but not actually a useable build. so I decided to just pay someone a lot of money and have them build me a bike.
I chose a CB750 as it was a bike my dad had in the late 70's and I remember it as a young child. And given the history of builds and knowledge out there, I thought you could do a lot worse.
Its been around 6 months since first discussion with a two-Brother team in Southend called, 'Autofabrica', and we're progressing along nicely with a rolling chassis.
This is what we started with, a donor bike found in Aberdeen I think.
