1974 Honda CB

CB7502344568

UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1974 HONDA CB750 SOHC HARDTAIL CHOPPER BOBBER PROJECT. IT IS PRETTY MUCH A ROLLER WITH A DRIVETRAIN. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT PERIODICALLY FOR THE PAST YEAR. I HAVE TOO MANY THINGS GOING ON AND NOT ENOUGH TIME TO DO THEM IN. THIS PROJECT IS AT THE POINT TO BE REASSEMBLED. I HAD THE ORIGINAL FRAME HARDTAILED BY A SHOP UP IN IOWA WHEN I GOT IT BACK I DID A FULL MOCK UP WITH ALL MY PARTS(WHICH WILL ALL BE INCLUDED). AFTER I HAD EVERYTHING WHERE I WANTED IT, I WELDED IT ALL SOLID, GROUND THE WELDS A BIT AND SMOOTHED THEM WITH BODY FILLER FOLLOWED BY NUMEROUS COATS OF FILL PRIMER ON THE ENTIRE FRAME AND THAT WAS SANDED SMOOTH. I SPRAYED IT DUPONT IMRON GLOSS BLACK, WHEN CLEAN IT LOOKS AS IF YOU JUST DIPPED IT IN A VAT OF PAINT...IT IS SLICK AND SHINY! I MODIFIED A 1200 SPORTSTER KING TANK BY REDOING THE MOUNTS, RELOCATING THE PETCOCK AND SMOOTHED THE ENTIRE BOTTOM, IT'S AS SMOOTH AS THE TOP. I WAS GOING TO GO WITH SOME OLD SCHOOL CANDY ORANGE FLAMES OVER A SILVER FLAKE. THE TANK HAS BEEN SPRAYED WITH THE SILVER FLAKE AND A MIDCOAT TYPE CLEARCOAT. THE REAR FENDER IS A 6" FLAT FENDER THAT HAS BEEN SMOOTHED, IT IS STILL IN PRIMER. I FABRICATED A CUSTOM OIL TANK TO FIT THE FRAME, IT WAS SHOT IMRON BLACK. AND I MADE AN ELECTRICAL PANEL WITH A STEEL BOX COVER TO HIDE ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL. I MODIFIED A STOCK CB750 BATTERY BOX FOR USE TOO. CUSTOM REAR FENDER STRUTS, SEAT PAN WITH HAIRPIN SPRINGS AND AN AUTOMATIC CHAIN TENSIONER ROUND OUT THE GOODIES( I THINK, I MAY FORGOT SOMETHING) I WAS PLANNING ON RUNNING A STOCK CB750 FRONT END AND STOCK BRAKES(CALIPER NEEDS REBUILT OR REPLACED)WITH 2" UNDER TUBES(DON'T HAVE THOSE) WITH A STOCK 19" FRONT WHEEL AND I HAVE A 16" HARLEY RIM LACED TO A CB HUB. THE WHEELS HAVE SOME CHROME PEELING AND RUST SPOTS, THESE WERE GONNA GET POWDERCOATED BLACK WITH STAINLESS SPOKES. WILL NEED TIRES. I BOUGHT A NEW ON/OFF KEY SWITCH WITH A SEPERATE PUSH BUTTON STARTER SWITCH, TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS FOR THE NECK, A "RICK'S" VOLTAGE REGULATOR(ELIMINATES THE OLD RECTIFIER SETUP), MINI HORN, REAR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND 14" CHROME APEHANGER 7/8 HANDLEBARS. I'VE GOT A OLD SCHOOL TAIL LIGHT WITH LICENSE BRACKET ATTACHED THAT I MODIFIED TO MOUNT TO THE REAR AXLE. I HAVE A SET OF ORIGINAL EXHAUST PIPES THAT I WAS GONNA MODIFY INTO SOME SORT OF CUSTOM HEADER OR BUY A SET OF DRAG PIPES. THIS BIKE WAS A RUNNING UNIT WHEN I BOUGHT IT WITH 9800 MILES. AFTER MOCK UP I PUT THE ENGINE ON A STAND AND CLEANED IT UP, REPLACED THE OIL PAN GASKET (INSIDE WAS AS CLEAN AS A PIN)AND PAINTED THE ENTIRE BLOCK WITH BLACK WRINKLE PAINT. I FILED THE FINS ON THE HEAD TO SQUARE THEM UP AND THEN POLISHED THEM. I WAS GONNA DO THE CYCLE EXCHANGE CHROME SWAP PROGRAM FOR ALL OF THE COVERS, BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. I DO HAVE THEM ALL AS WELL AS THE GASKETS. THEY ARE GOOD, BUT WILL NEED POLISHED, PLATED OR PAINTED. I HAVE A MATCHED SET OF CARBS WITH THE RUBBER HOSES-THEY WILL NEED REBUILT. AS I SAID BEFORE, I DID AN ENTIRE MOCK UP, SO I HAVE THOSE PARTS AND THE ONES STATED ABOVE AND SOME ADDITIONAL CB750 PIECES. THIS ALL GOES IN THIS AUCTION. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE HANDLE BAR CONTROLS OR A HEADLIGHT. AND THE BUYER WILL HAVE TO DEVISE A WIRING HARNESS, BUT AS WITH A CHOPPER THEY ARE VERY EASY AND SIMPLE. ALL THE HARDWORK IS DONE, GOT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY IN THE FRAME ALONE. BUT I DON'T SEE MYSELF GETTING IT DONE ANYTIME SOON AND IT IS JUST COLLECTING DUST. CALLING IS BEST, CALL JON WITH ANY QUESTIONS 618-780-1044. GOOD TITLE, ALL GOES FOR ONE MONEY! AND ANY OTHER MOTORCYCLE STUFF I HAVE LYING AROUND! I PREFER LOCAL PICK UP & ENCOURAGE IT, BUT I WILL SHIP IT......BUT......ALL SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILTY OF THE BUYER!!!!! I WILL PALLETIZE IT ALL AND READY IT FOR SHIPPING FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE.
