Thanks guys, it is above the oil level and thanks for the advice about the brazing, after I cleaned it up, I did get a leak or two that I had to chase😃. Getting it hotter and cleaner with more flux was the answer. I am using one of those small benzomatic propane and oxygen rigs.
Now I’ve got to completely redesign my battery tray and electrics, I’d already made one to go in the normal place with my home made wiring.

I’ve taken a bit out of the oil tank, not sure if this will be ok?
What do you guys think?

More pics. I am using the F1 frame with the K7 swinging arm and rear hub, as I wanted shoes at the back, not a disc. I had to get 10mm machined off of the sprocket side of the hub so that the sprockets will align.
I am also using a Suzuki GT750 rear brake cable
And converted the front to twin disc

Excellent bike Phil. Mine won’t be as good, I’m sure. You are right John, I’ve been very busy already in retirement.
Yes, James it was going to be a CR replica, but as time went on and I saw those MotoGP pipes etc: I decided to make it more of a cafe racer..
I got 3 bikes from a scrap yard in Saudi, two F1’s and a K7. I’ve posted most of the work I’ve done on the American sohc site.
I’ve retired to Spain and will have difficulty getting it road legal.
The engine is 836, I sent the barrels to APE in the states for the rebore and to supply pistons and a webcam 63a.
I sent the head to Mike Rieck in the states too for porting etc: I had a friend who lived in the states, so he took the parts home in his luggage. I built the engine in Saudi and shipped it back.
I cut bits I didn’t want off of the frame and got it powder coated at Triple S coatings. I polished the wheel hubs and replaced bearings, bought alloy wheel rims off eBay and sent the wheels for lacing at Central Wheel co. I have fitted Bridgestone BT45 tyres. Tarozzi rear sets and clip-ones. I’ve made my own gauges holder and am going to use KOSO Tacho and speedo and a volt meter.
I’ve made my own wiring loom from scratch (I am not an electrician)😀
I had made my own battery tray before buying the fuel tank from James.
I don’t really want to shell out for a CR oil tank, so I’m considering my next move😀
The sump on the fuel tank clashes with the oil tank but I might modify the oil tank to gain clearance, or remove or modify the sump. And then shift the battery.

Built it up to here so far. I’m going to have to make a decision about the sump on the tank, as I had already made my own battery tray.

Just like to thank JamesH again for the fuel tank.👍
I’ve finally retired to Spain and am starting my project build. I actually did most of the work while working in the Middle East, then shipped it back in bits.
It’s been a long time since I fired tyres to a CB750😀

 yeah can't remember why I went for that tacho, probably couldn't get one of the small ones in the right rpm range needed. But hey ho, won't be looking at it much, especially when I miss a gear . Interested to see what you come up with
