CB750 / Back to life...
« on: April 07, 2015, 11:54:55 AM »
After 10 months and more than £50 spent...
Originally a good-looking US K4 that turned out to be a hound.  Not used for several years, big hole in the gearbox where the chain had broken, oil full of water and debris, holes in #2 and 3, gummed up carbs, etc etc.  Most work done in the garage.
Carbs and cases aqua blasted.
Originally orange, but very sun-faded.  My paint shop had a lot of trouble replicating the candy and, in the end it bubbled up under the decals.  So, I decided on something completely different - a Bentley grey based on a lovely cafe racer I saw last year.  Stripes are now painted and look superb.
I realise this will divide opinion, but at least now I do not have to answer to anyone who can spot the myriad details that are not quite right.
Either way, it attracts a lot of attention from men of a certain age...  Great ride!
Let me know what you think.
