Honda CB750 Custom

Hi mates! 

I am so glad to share with you all my latest project. I wasn't able to upload the pics before as you know I have been busy with my cycling hobbies ~~ haha ~~
Anyway I am undergoing a transition at work so have been able to get some relief on my evenings. And that's how I have got some quality time to get this project started.

Here is the deal. It is a classic Honda CB750. I know nothing about this ride until I started digging for references on the Internet. And in fact, I still don't know much about it at all now. Yet, I've got some gorgeous pics of some custom builds of this CB750 and these pics inspired me to give a try.

I didn't have a clear idea on where I want it to go. But I think step by step, I will bring it to the finish. 

Here is the original box-art, classic but not so exciting.... LOL

I, of course, started by putting the major blocks of the engine together.

And started pre-assembling the frame.

The original cowlings looks like this.

And that was what I actually pull over... and started reshaping the new fuel tank.

After sanding and sanding and sanding, I think this is what I would like the fuel tank to look like.

Putting aside the sand papers, I have moved to something else. This was real fun to rework the springs and this gives a lot more depth to the details.

The exhausts were prepared. Gaps are filled and the welding was recreated.

I scratch-built the saddle with plastic sheets. I was about to give more volume to it later on.

The tail of the frame has been shorten and I added a copper rod to close both ends.

The saddle will contains better finishes if the edge are well sorted.

I have also added the physical mount which should hold it tight on the frame.

Let's see how these things look when come together.

The handle bar will be with a completely different angle. So the mounts had to be recreated.

I have also got some ideas on the new meter. I will just give one meter on this bike instead of two.

I know it is a bit to digest. Let's stop here for now and I will keep you posted with any updates. Thanks for reading.
