I recently aquired a 1978 Honda 750. It is in great shape but doesnt quite run well. I havent had a chance to look into it. I was wondering if anyone has ever done anything with one of these? I would like to do a bobber style, mild chopper build. Just wondering if anyone has any pics or tips on these. What frame to use? Engine mods, etc. I also have a 1980 Honda CB 125 that is mint which I can also play around with. All help is appreciated. Thanks
LOBrow, I spent the last year or so building a 1969 Honda CB750 from pieces and parts. It is a TOTAL blast ride and was really great to build. Here are some pictures I took a while back. It is more complete now but looks similar. Honda CB750 are cool bikes. I love 'em! The last picture is not mine, but my inspiration for my next build! Mike
Nice bike, makes a great chop or cafe/street bike. Quite a few websites out there, like Ian said hondachopper is a good one for ideas. Where abouts in MI are you? I just sold my 74 750 to build my garage. I will surely miss that bike
I missed that Unkl Ian mentioned www.hondachopper.com. That is a cool place that is dedicated to the Honda CB750 sohc. I got lots of information and parts from folks on that site to build my bike. Mike
I always thought these old 750's were cool too. (This has been posted before), but one of my on going bike projects is a 78 750. I have a bunch of old vintage performance parts that I was able to scrounge when you could find this stuff . Drouin supercharger with a twin choke weber driven off the left side and a vertex mag driven off the right. It will not be a chopper or a cafe bike when done. But it is stretched, raked and it does have a 750 F tank, kind of a stretched out drag bike style. Here is a pic of the engine.
A sweet 750 (pics stolen from the HAMB) If I'm not mistaken this was built by Kutty and is currently ridden by Don Haring Jr.

Ok thanks guys for all of the tips and help. I will check into the bike section and the other mentioned forums. I didnt even know about those. Thanks again!
How the hell did I miss this ???? .... Something to feed my other sickness ... My couldn't find any pictures of my lo' 750-4. One of the easiest mods I did was to use the much smaller CB-450 tank . Fits with little work ....
Sorry guys I drink alot. I THOUGHT I joind a few mo. ago? I remember somebody on here put a post up about the jockeyj and said to keep it quiet cause it wasent technichly up and running, I bet I was ONE of the first to join tho, but as I said, I drink alot CoolRide
I happen to have an early 70's Amen Savior frame with the matching oil bag/battery box, kickstand and sissy bar. I also have a 12" over square tube springer from A&E and a couple wheels (need relacing). I even had a rear axle professionally made and an electrical box. I planned on building it but it has sat for the last two years. A buddy that was rebuilding my motor for it completely vanished with my motor so I got a bit depressed and lost interest. Let me know if you have an interest and I will get the parts together and figure out what I have in it as far a cash goes. I am not out to make a buck on it but would l like to get even if I can.
