Post 3 The beginning of another Cafe Racer

Started another cafe bike this afternoon. Stripped a 1974 CB750 down to the engine and frame, all of the parts have been grouped and put in their bins. I will pull the engine tomorrow, clean the frame and cut all the extra tabs off.
I am going to leave the passenger pegs on this one, for riding two up.
The plan is to use a stock seat, pins and latch, and an another solo section with pins and latch that can be swapped easily.

This is another CB750 I built for Mid Ohio Vintage Days 2010.

I plan to build one more CB750 Cafe Racer this year as well as a bobber based on an XS650.

This is the first Cafe Racer Style bike that was built by Old School Cafe Racer. We had been buying a few old bikes, fixing them up, riding them for a while. We responded to an add in Craigslist for a Honda CB750 basket case, literally in about 10 laundry baskets. It was our first CB750 ever and we decided to make a Cafe Racer out of it.
I would have to say, I enjoy working on them as much as riding.

We are going to Barber Vintage Days in October. A couplo of my friends will ride and I will trailer a few items along with Tami my wife and our two youngest kids.I might let them ride in the truck part of the way. The motorcycle bug has bitten my kids also.

I will be starting another project next week, I will post photos and an account of the progress as much as possible.
