This blog is chronological description of my 78 CB750 chopper project which I began in April 05. SOHC (Single Over Head Cam) CB750 motors were produced by Honda from 1969-1978.

Day 185

Made some awsome progress in the past week. Lets start with the oil lines. I got a set of sweet (don't ask me how much they cost) stainless steel oil lines from www.oldbritts.com . Very pleased with them...even though they are a little pricey, they look 10 times better than black rubber hose. Nots sure if you can tell in the pic to the left, but I'm gonna pull the fittings coming from the oil tank and are brass, and I'v got some aluminum paint that will look good on them.

I think I'm settled on how I'm going to mount the gas tank. I took it with me to welding class last night and welded a U-Bolt to the inside of the tank. I only welded one U-Bolt, so its still not real sturdy. Then it hit me this morning while laying in bead. I'll weld a tab on the end of the tank (right where the seat meets the tank), and use a worm screw/strap to secure the bottom end of the tank.

Did a nice little project in class last week. I added 6 inches of stretch to a stock CB750 swingarm. I'll use this on the stock bike that I'm modifing.
