Hi I’m a new member, ride a CB750 k5 with rigid frame, twin carb conversion and 20 inch over girders. I spend most of my time avoiding bumpy roads …and corners. Soon as I work out how to post a photo of my bike , I will

Firstly welcome to the sohc forum.
Rigid frame -has it been converted into a Bobber then? :o :o :o
I would be looking to return it to having rear suspension sharpish. ;D ;D ;D

Welcome Adrian. You’ve come to a great place here. “why would you want a rigid frame”?? Sorry I lack imagination sometimes!😂😂
-
Welcome Adrian. I will be fascinated to see a photo in due course..

My BiL told me that Bobbers were a craze much like Cafe racers.

Rigid frame more likely to be a seventies chopper than a bobber. Be great to see a piccie....coffin tank / twisted border forks etc etc

My BIL has a 750 chop.

....how annoying...in my previous post I was also going to mention a sissy bar and stacked headlights, but I ran out of energy...that chopper has the full house!
It's of its era, but not one for my garage.☺

I like the little chap on the rear mudguard.....

Do 750's run well with those air filters instead of an air box?
-
Not normaly but then the carbs come off and on easy!

The clue is in the username - I have no idea what 20" over girder are - tall ape hangers?

The eyes of the skeleton light up with the brake lights, looks great from the back.

Nicely finished and looks split mint so I appreciate all the work and expertise and this is no disrespect to your BiL Ken but that represents everything I loathe about choppers ;D
Love the fact that its another two wheels on the road but I simply can't see the attraction so deffo not for me.
Love the chap on the back mind, thats ace!
Call yer BiL a Greebo for me though, wont you ;) ;D

He'd probably think that was a compliment Roo.
I hate the chopper, it's just a waste of 2 wheels IMO, doesn't handle, don't go fast, turns like a petrol tanker. I refuse to ride with him when he's on it as I dislike going that slow.
It did get it's own back on him though, trying to turn round near Sheffield one day and it fell over on him, at the time he had those spiked footrests, one of these went right through his ankle and pinned him to the road. Serves him right for being a prat. A case of form over function.

That's Ogri the God of Bikers, punishing him for having shit taste.
