Title: 1976 CB750 Rat chop thing (AKA the big pile of rusty scrap)
Post by: Cannonfodder on May 17, 2020, 05:43:37 PM: I thought I would share a couple of pics of my Pile of rusty Scrap... I mean my project Bike. It will be staying as a rat chop no polished chrome and shiny paint jobs on this project. Please beware the pics are not for the faint of heart you have been warned :P

Like the tank job

Post by: Trigger on May 18, 2020, 07:17:20 PM: I would not even turn that over. The amount of crap that must of gone inside with it open may damage any moving parts.
