But I've been able to obtain a dozen or so NOS 970 and 971 items, for most parts I've got some spares so I decided to build a second bike while I'm still at it.

That sounds like a good plan  ;)

Digging this project back up after a long time doing other things!

I still have  a huge list of things to do and I am working through this, but it has been handy to have a break in order to properly research some aspects of the build.

A big part of kicking off the project was a chance to see an extremely well done CR750 replica at Mallory Park. This was built by Eric who I got in touch with through this forum. As I am sure many members are aware, the attention to detail on this build is fantastic, the project has taken a long time to get right but was well worth it. It both looks and sounds spectacular. If my bike turns out anything like this I will be very pleased!



The weather was a little soggy earlier on in the day when I took the 'detail' images:












Please see the start up video below (sound on!)

I also met another chap who I have been dealing with for a long time during this project, he took along his Honda 750 race bike which is kitted out with many genuine original CR750 honda parts. Including the tank, rear wheel, front hub and carbs.










I also picked up a brand new copy of the October 1970 'Cycle' magazine which I have been searching for for a while.











Hopefully I will be able to provide some more regular updates on various parts of the project soon. I would really like to get a rolling chassis complete this year.

Cheers!

Hi CR21. Good to hear your enthusiasm has returned and it looks like you have some more information progress with the build. Keep the progress photos coming as we all want to follow the build.

The bike looks even better in the flesh and sounds awesome,,, it certainly shook up the café diners when he fired her up on Sunday morning!

Those original CR carbs look very "sand cast"... almost home made  :o

philward:
Eric's bike is on another level, the originality is suburb - and Scott's will be I'm sure. Scott and Eric have helped with my build (although my road going CR Rep isn't in the same league!)
Keep the build thread going Scott
