My winter project

[cb750]

the bar hopper chopper.

A '76 Honda cb750 motor in a Santee swingarm frame. It's rougher than I thought it was, half the motor is gone, and there is a lot more rust than I thought.

I'm currently stripping it down for paint, and need ideas on what I should do with it. Colors, theme, etc.

I'm thinking gloss black and chrome, or is that played out? Maybe some sort of rat-ish look to it?

I just got rid of one of these projects. It was a 77 cb 750, extended forks by frank, modified rear suspension mounting to sit lower. Leaked gas, was loud as hell, was ugly, but it was fun!

Here she is.

Damn, that IS ugly! My other one, I thought it was too nice to chop, so I painted the tank and sidecovers and kept it a nice rider. I have a stock seat on it now, much more comfortable than that big square one in the picture.

Not much of action on this, I just changed my oil tank from this

to this
