Where it all began.

I purchased a 1976 Honda CB750F for a whopping $450 from a local fella here in northern Minnesota. It was a mess, the electrics were a clusterfuck, the carbs were gunked and had a torpedo for a muffler.





I started by stripping the bike down a bit and repairing the electronics and cleaning the carbs. A previous owner chopped the fuse block out and used wire nuts.


I wired in a factory fuse block from another CB:



Time to scrub the carbs:



Once I got the bike to a rideable state by removing the awful muffler, electrics that don't smoke and carbs that actually deliver gas to the engine I painted the tank and tried out some Comstar wheels:






The bike was at a great state for the summer of 2010 once the qwerks were resolved and I painted the bike and seat cowl.
