honda cb750 cafe racer 79
A $1,000 1979 Honda CB750 project, an unfinished cafe racer and a garage full of quality parts — including around $7,500 worth of Cognito Moto and other premium components. The bike didn't run, the build isn't finished, and we're not entirely sure where it's going yet, but that's exactly what makes this project interesting.
Follow the Honda CB750 build as we work out what we've got, decide what stays and what goes, and turn a collection of parts and ideas into a finished motorcycle. Every episode documents another stage of the project, from assessing the bike and its components through fabrication, mechanical work, electrics, finishing and, eventually, getting the Honda back on the road.
