Hi guys,
I bought my first bike about a month ago, a MINT CB750C. Just came across this site and thought I'd introduce myself.
I've taken the goofy windshield off:
The bike is great and pulls and revs like a demon; other than it sitting for 2 years (needed a good carb cleaning and fresh fuel filter), it's awesome. I'm planning on a cafe/bobber build over winter. |

Hi there, and welcome, but why do you want to take a 'mint' condition bike like that - which is very nice by the way - and destroy it by turning it into a chopped up confusion of a machine? |

Hi and welcome. If you must .... just get in touch with Holysmokes, and he'll send you some spare hacksaw blades. |

Agreed, that bike appears to be in nice shape.
Welcome to the forum. |

Thanks for the welcome guys!
I'm ansty for a project and the lines of the CBC fit well with what I have in mind. I understand the mentality of keeping it stock and keeping it mint, but there is part of me that can't leave anything alone |

you probably couldn't make it "mint" if you wanted to. parts are getting too hard to find anymore.....because too many people get a hold of these bikes and cut them all up.....sound familiar?
a word of advise. get it running good first and ride it as it was meant to be before you go and invest a bunch of time modifying it. you may or may not change your mind about the chop job, but at least you will have a better idea what a good bike is like before you make irreversible changes.
funny, there are so many XS750s and GS750s out there just crying for modification.... |
