Title: CB750 F1 Cafe nearly finished
Post by: NigelWilmshurst on September 16, 2015, 10:32:57 AM

The build is never over, but I am getting close, pin holes in the alloy petrol tank now welded, rear sets in the right place, really need to find a period set, dunstall or similar if anybody can help please, bell mouths have been ordered from America, 30 miles on the clock since full big bore rebuild, rides very solid and yes those rear sets are in the pillion passenger peg holes!

Great getting it back on the road, worth all the blood, sweat and tears.

Great looking machine, just one thing I'd remove the crash bar but that's just me.

Yeah if it sells I'm going to go for a different shape but if not it will be staying .

Crash bars save engine casings! I have chucked this bike down the road a few times in the past, now I'm a bit older I shall try my best to resist taking it to the edge... I don't think I will bounce like I used to
