Starting Honda cafe bike build today

Today I bought a pile of junk that I am going to build into a cafe racer.
I went to the DMV and took care of the paperwork and fees today.

I will post build photos this week.

 

Are you starting with a Harley?

 

It is a HONDA.

 

EXCELLENT!!!!! Can't wait to see where you go. My 81 CB750 cafe-style is at a stand still due to 2 Kaws in my shop taking up my free time.

 

Cool project on that late model DOHC 750.
I like that front wheel and forks. What is it from?

The back wheel does not look right and why is the ass end of the seat kicked up?
Just asking.

Keep us posted.

 

its the 92 viffer forks and cbr900 wheel and rotors, the tail is high as it is cause it's gonna be kinda street-fighter hybrid. Failed on the 180 rear so it's a 160 cruiser tire on thw stock CB rim. Still playing with it. I'm in no hurry. Bike has been down for years to to a deer strike. If I hate it I'll grab the SawzAll again.

 

The HELL with My bike, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

 

Lots of custom builds here:

Cafe racers, custom motorcycles and bobbers

Not many farklechoppers on this one.

 

I will not get the bike to my house until Tuesday or Thursday July 12th or 14th.
Here are two photos of the bike at the salvage yard.

Year 1978 Honda CB750K2 28,000 miles.
Turns over. Frame no. CB750K2822402

That is all I know so far.
Oh...it has a Kerker 4 into one exhaust.

 

Are you going to be building a new frame for it? Going to get one of those RC 836 kits?

 

Maybe it already has the 836 kit. We will see...
Will keep the stock frame and get rid of all the trash .
My ultrasonic cleaner will be busy!

 

I sell them.
I use the money for the next build.
It is a disease.
The last build gave me 3 years of fun.

My last build (VF1000R chopper) is now living in San Francisco.
Very fitting place for it.

 

DB, an interesting site - this may be of interest to you. Good luck with your project and keep us posted.

Honda 750 Frames

 

Sorry to hear you sold the 1KR but that's been my MO too...

Good luck on the cafe build, that was my first, the CB750...still miss that bike.

 

vfrcapn> what swing arm is that?

 

since we are on the topic of cafe builds, here is mine:

1982 Kawasaki GPZ750R1




The seat and tail section are to be redone in the near future to make it look like a cafe style solo seat/tail section...

 

I have always liked cafe bikes. I can't wait to see how your build comes out!
