Can anyone reccomend a user group for the early Honda cb750's. My son just bought a 1974 cb750. We could use a good site like this one for that model bike.

I can understand the desire to turn it into a Cafe Racer but I think it would be awesome to keep it like it is. There are very few 70's style choppers around these days.stratocat":1vh3jtci said:That's why I asked, I knew someone would have some info. I don't think he'll have it ready to ride by next weekend. I'll Post some pics.

In that era most 750's ended up with z-bars, t-bars and rear sets. And 4 into1's were hot snot.
I remember seeing a lot of early 750 cases welded. When guys would get on it from stop light to stop light, eventually they'd snap the chain and bust a chunk out of the case. These bikes had some power, dude! A few years into this and Honda put that rubber bushing in the rear hub to absorb the shock. I don't remember what year they started, but the 78 model in my picture had the rubber in the hub.
Well, he should at least keep that seat around. Those will come back in style eventually :grin:stratocat":2bh960ku said:No way, that seat has got to go. If it were mine i'd put it back to the original, but it's my son's project. The cafe style seems to be becomming quite popular for these early Honda CB's.
