New Project in the Shop - "HotRod"

After winning a hardtail section at the WHCM raffle (generously donated by CycleOne Manufacturing) it was just begging to be used immediately. So we put a few other projects on hold for a bit and dug a frame out of the rafters (a '76 CB750 K frame to be exact) to hack up.



Been wanting to use a couple "hotrod" CB750 parts and make a cool little bobber (pardon the overused expression) so let's see what we end up with.

Following the instructions, the first step is to carefully remove the kickstand mount. Don't want to ruin the tubing, or the mount since it can be re-used later.


A couple passes with a flapwheel and it's like it was never there.


A little cutting, a little prep work, and before you know it the frame is ready to go back together


Test Fitting


Bolted the engine in for final alignment and tacked it up.


Here's the roller with a CB450 frontend and an Akront 18x4.25 rear wheel off an old KZ dragbike.


A perfect stance in no time flat. Plenty of grinding, cleaning, sculpting, and chopping left to do, but it's off to a great start. Big thanks again to Red and Kate at CycleOne for the hardtail section, and Jeff at SaintMotorbikes for welding and the forks. Keep watching, this one's gonna be quick.
