    That Cb750 tickles a special place in my heart. I remember a few of my dads friends having very similar builds back in the 90's. Definitely some cool nostalgia and fits the sketchiness a lot of other bikes you've had.

      "back in the 90's"??? The CB750 came out around 1969, I had a new one in 1976 and bought a used one in the mid '80's. These bike go forever and are real classics.

      I know the CB came out way before the 90's. My first experience and earliestmemories of them are from the 90's They were probably the first bikes I saw with raked out front ends and custom tanks. My dad road typical so cal style stock Harleys. @@tokairic3925

    Here's an observation. How are you going to shift with the existing exhaust? The original mid mount shifter lever is all but touching the exhaust header. So you may be stuck with forward controls unless you can find a set of headers and pipes that route differently. I always admired those old CB750 Choppers. Dead reliable and still a blast to ride.

    The front hub and brake look like Honda ct90, it was common to use them on choppers in SoCal. There was also a “Stop-a-Chopper” system that was worthless. In 1970 I had a Frisco style ‘49 Indian Chief with no front brake. Fun at stop lights on hills with the foot clutch.

    Hi Josh, just wanted to share some personal experience. I’ve been to Japan several times for work and have walked and gawked for a bunch of hours. In the places I have been, I have actually seen more sportsters than Honda trails! Doesn’t make sense, but I think there is some displacement tier system that makes anything over a certain displacement difficult to obtain. Anything over that threshold is expensive to get and similarly difficult.
    Most of what I see are blatantly scooters, as their displacement has tax, licensing, and parking advantages.

    It wasn't because of wolves. The Christmas truce happened the first Xmas of WW1. A large section of the west front. Both sides simply stopped fighting and met in no man's land, exchanged cigarettes, rations, sang songs, shared booze (that didn't exist at the front) . It ended when some French officers, fearing the war might break down broke up the "fun" at gun point, sent their men back to their trenches. The Germans and Brits also retuned to their respective sides. The war started again the next morning. No other stop in the fighting for 4 more years. I'm a historian as a hobby.
