I got it in stock condition from a guy for $50 a couple years ago. I seen a lot of sites on the internet about chopping the cb750 four SOHC bikes, and wanted to do something with it. this is what it turned out like. here in Mich., you cant have the top of the grip of the handle bars more than 15 inches above the highest point of the seat, so ape hangers are illegal, but I like the lower ones without much rise better anyways. tried to wire it like a santee basically. need to hook up the headlight, and a tail light still. have to adjust the clutch too. the headlights from a suzuki. the original speedometer fit in the top perfectly. I seen somewhere that the 69 cb750-4/sohc was considered #3 bike of all time, and only 3 because it was "too boring to ride" because it ran "too smooth" and had very few problems. Thought about building a hard tail some day maybe.
