Hi,

  My name is Phil G. and i live in Portland Or. I would like to share some pics of my 71 cb750. This has been my project for the last 2 1/2 years. I would like to sit here and tell you that i did it all myself but i have to give credit were credit is due. While the over all concept and design of the bike was all me there are a few very important elements to it that would not have been possible without help from some very talented friends of mine so i have to say thanks to Sam Hill for welding the custom oil tank and the 5" stretch into the fuel tank, and to Sean Smith for laying down the beautiful black paint, Paul Burdette for the stage 3 port job and general engine building help, Ginger Mccabe of New Church Customs for the seat pad, and to Deon Staffelbach for the awesome photography,other than that i pretty much did everything myself.

  here is a list of mods and custom parts

     engine bored out to 850

     stage three ported head

     super flow valves

     webcam 63a grind

     cyclex super rods

     balanced and lightened crank and rotor

     under cut tranny

     all new bearings and chains inside

     cr 29 carbs

     custom aluminum oil tank

     stock fuel tank stretched 5" with knee dents

     custom rear sets (modeled after dunstall rear sets from the 70's)

     custom s.s. muffler

          Anyway, thanks for looking

                  Phil


 My pleasure Phil.  Thanks for sharing!
