Just bought a Cb750 survivor.

Whats up everybody? I was very fortunate to be able to pick this bike up in Barstow last Friday.



It's a 1971 Honda CB750 that was chopped back in Fresno in the early 70's. All of the work that was done is top notch and it has been changed very little since it was built. The guy I bought it from couldn't tell me the name of the dude who built it, but said he was the big name guy from that area at that time. Do any of you old timers see anything in this bike that looks familiar? I'm having a real hard time getting any info on it. I'll post up more pictures soon.

Here's the whole story if anyone is interested.....

Very nice. I checked out your blog, love the train car shots. Id love to have a bike painted with graffiti style lettering and graphics. Nice story on picking up the bike.

Thats a rad 750, it's always cool to see bikes that survived from way back in the day. Do you know what frame that is? You can definitely tell its from the 70s as I can see lots of bondo work going on!
