CB750F2 .... silk purse from a sows ear.
SumpMagnet:
Yeah, I can see where you are going with that :)
I have the tailpiece and light etc. and while they are not perfect...it should be repairable. There is a bit of the side trim damaged on one side, but it's by no means beyond saving.
Interesting suggestion :)
Got a few weeks while the forks get done to ponder ideas. Once I got them rebuilt, I can throw the wheels in and actually sit on it and play with ideas a bit more

I had a picture I'd stored but temporarily can't find it to post directly, but the first one in the above link is the bike I was thinking of.
Really neat interpretation of the original Honda design that just looks very crisp :D
SumpMagnet:
Now that does look tidy. I've dug out the tailpiece I have, and will have a look at repairing it. There is some plastic missing from the rear edge in the corner...but the trim that's damaged has beewn removed in those pics.
I even like the colour...well....it looks the same colour my Hornet is. Corbin seat.... find a rear light that fits in there neatly...yes....I can see that working
Ironically....I found another pic of the exact same bike.... with my initial idea done to one that is parked next to it.

So I can make a direct comparison!

Here's another I was thinking of, it's in a build thread over on USA sohc site.
It just seems that Honda almost wasted the style of the F1 andF2 in UK guise as they seem to droop downward at the rear and suck the "sport" element out of them.
The one above, to me at least, appears to make the most of a really good tank and tail shape.
Did you see the program "goblin works garage " in which he did a bespoke seat by using a black yoga mat foam, glued it in a stack to to layer it up, then sculpted it with a very rough emery wheel on a hand grinder.
Pretty effective way of building up a seat foam shape onto original base of your own design with very little cost.
SumpMagnet:
yeah...saw that. Have done it before myself.... used one of those closed cell mats for camping. Then covered it in flat vinyl.
Would have worked far better if the vinyl hadn't been that shiny...
