Looks alright so far , coming along.

Are you planning on doing any performance mods, building the motor, brake conversions etc, that kind of thing or is it just a paint and polish resto?

the guy i am doing this for is a new rider and this bike is quite stout for him as a beginner.
no performance mods, unless he decides he wants to.
ive been wanting to drop some jets in on of these cafes and make em scream,
but i think this one is going to be a beauty runner.

before i sold the last 550, i was mid turbo project for it.

looks like a cb750 though. Everything w as immaculate, had a nice gold pin stripe going around all the body work. That rust on the end of the tail looked kind of intentional cuz everything else was flawless. I loved it.
