1981 HONDA CB750C CAFE RACER

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Build a cool Cafe Racer…on a budget. Yes, I spent more than I planned (like always) but it didn’t get completely out of hand.

1Saw the bike sitting on the side of the road. Always, wanted a CB750. It was in great shape. Bought it for $1,000. Thus the project began.

Building the structure under the seat pan. Something you don’t see but it required a good bit of engineering and execution to make it work.

The project required that I get some things welded. With that in mind I bought a TIG welder and did it myself!

The are amazed by the transformation. The tired old ugly duckling gets a new lease on life as a hot rod.
