1981 Honda CB750c - Cafe Racer

This bike recently emerged from my shop after two years of effort. I am guessing I have something like 200 hours of work into this bike. I also have over $5. 00 invested in the bike. parts. paint. carb rebuild and powder coating. No. needless to say this project bike isn't going to make me rich but it did provide me with the opportunity to do something I really enjoy. This bike is a Cafe Racer conversion of a 1981 Honda CB750c. The donor bike had 18. 00 miles on it before the project began. It has just over 300 miles put on it since the conversion. The conversion was a full frame off project. Many parts were powder coated along the way. including the frame. I purchased many new parts and custom fabricated others. It runs great and looks even better. Needless to say it came out awesome and gets rave reviews wherever it goes. Note: this was not a down and dirty garage project. It was completed by an motorcycle craftsman in a full blown shop. The paint was applied by a professional paint shop. It is a first class build all the way. The key to making a 30+ year old bike run properly is to have the carbs in tip top condition. If the carbs are dirty and components are worn out there is no way to get a bike to run properly. With that in mind I had Mike Nixon rebuild the carbs at a cost of $500. You can check him and his work out on the web by searching for Mike Nixon Motorcycle Project. He is a guru when it comes to rebuilding CB750c carbs. Note: the odometer currently shows just over 300 miles on it. As part of the build I replaced the old speedometer with a brand new one which is why the total mileage doesn't show on the current odometer. Please contact me with any questions you might have. I have a website that further details this build. I will be happy to send the link if you ask me for it.
