    Dude, love’n all that black on the frame, wheels, forks, etc. Then the Cream tank with brown leather on the seat! Great color scheme with a real throwback pre 1940’s feel!!! You should be so proud of this bike. It’s class son, class!!!

    I have a CB750 I'm currently working on myself and I love how you showed exactly how to do the rear u-bar/seat it turned out fantastic. I think the bike would be flawless with different gauges that sit a little lower.

      ua-cam.com/video/A1rE5FgIUk0/v-deo.html check this video out. He uses pea shooter exhausts, which they have a unique sound. Twin exhaust pipes will improve the sound of the 4-cylinder engines,so as a mechanical engineer i recommend that option👌

    @blakewixom2893 10 місяців тому

    I like that you kept the stock carburetor setup, Often times the 2 carburetor setups for these bikes make it run worse and are harder to tune, and when all 4 carbs have pod filters sometimes when going fast the engine bogs from the 2 center cylinders not getting enough air.

The parts list is up to about 500+ in parts to get it mechanically right, that's if i don't have to dig into the engine. Would be totally worth it though.

I had one build where I cheaped it and ordered a Cafe seat from Ebay and man, what garbage, hard to sell a build with materials like that, just my two cent.

    The bike does look great I’ve owned a lot of Honda 650 and 750 fours over the years love the motors weight to power ratio and reliability the only negative I know on the bikes is on the late 1970s and early 80s when the laws changed about riding day and night with the headlight on Honda and most other Japanese bikes did not upgrade the charging system to accommodate the drain from that headlight the easiest solution is to put a switch on the headlight to not run it during daytime for me if I got pulled over for it I just played dumb and said I forgot to switch it on it’s hard to tell in the daytime that it’s off because I can see fine

    Silly question do you ever ride when its raining? Fenders (mud guards) are a thing for a reason.

      yes. If you are riding in the rain, you're getting wet anyway.

      @@motoblast3574 My point is no mudguard means all the wet muck from the road will be thrown all over you and the bike. Yes I have ridden in the rain I live in England where it rains more often than it does not, it also get pretty cold in the winter round here (live in the Chilerns a high area) but we don't get snow much thank god. Yes have ridden all year round, it gets tough on the bike and rider I find. Mudguards, fairings and proper chain guards blunt some of the down side of wet weather unless of cause you like hunting for mystery electrical issues at the side of the road in the rain.

      @@motoblast3574 Thanks, it's not the wet I have issue with it's the mix of smutts of fuel, brake & tyre dust, mud and other stuff that gets plastered all over everything in a grey/brown grimmy layer thats the problem.
