time to liven up this thread again. I had to take my cb750 cafe apart and re gasket the engine. lap the valve etc.... fresh paint. Now im ready to start back on my h1.

Image
finally done and back in the bike.

Currently on the H1 im getting the front end ready to put together. just need to blast and paint the forks, triple tree, ears and headlight hub.

Anyone interested in buying this tank. minus the petcock. pretty clean inside. has some scratches and chips on the paint.
$150.00 a fair price?

thanks!!


More pics of the H1, waiting for a few parts but i mocked up the front end a little. I know what im doing with the frame and parts but havent really come up with what i want to do for the tank, sides, tail, headlight and front fender. I am entertaining a racing stripe of some sorts and thinking maybe silver with black stripes. We'll see.
