This classic 1975 Honda CB750F SuperSport was a total restoration project. Originally an abused relic amongst a sidecar attached to it, plenty of operate had to live done to convey this motorbike dorsum to life.
Nick Acosta is a newcomer to the globe of specials simply he forthwith made a maiden off appearance of his work. He has sent us pictures of this restoration, where he has inserted minimal milestones to accentuate the pleasance of driving.
In this brief interview he tells us virtually him as well as virtually the operate performed on this motorbike
I am a self taught custom motorbike builder as well as applied scientific discipline educatee from Toronto, Canada that specializes inwards all years of Japanese as well as American motorcycles. I started edifice tardily lastly twelvemonth (2017) amongst my maiden off cafe racer project, as well as was lucky plenty to accept it published along amongst winning a few awards for it at the outset of 2018. That jump-started involvement inwards my builds as well as skills amongst older motorcycles.
What did you lot produce to the bike?
This motorbike was originally given to me yesteryear a proficient friend later I got into a motorbike accident as well as totaled the motorbike I was riding before. It actually helped me learn the confidence I needed to ride again, all the same it needed a lot of work. There are A LOT of dandy cafe racer builds for the Honda CB750 SuperSports , all the same I struggled to detect whatever restorations of these beautiful machines, as well as thus I challenged myself to fully restore this motorbike amongst approximately tasteful modifications.
The bike originally belonged to a friend of mine who was overnice plenty to sell it to me later I rode it as well as savage inwards honey amongst it
The 1975 Honda CB750F SuperSport was the maiden off twelvemonth Honda introduced the SuperSport inwards the 750cc class, as well as until today is quite a rare motorcycle. The motorbike originally had the incorrect paint, had an stone oil cooler as well as sidecar mounts welded on the frame, a leaky engine, as well as lots of rust as well as pitting all over. My programme was to completely strip downward the bike to a bare frame as well as restore the bike dorsum to manufacturing flora specs, spell upgrading the exhaust, engine, electrics as well as braking. Classic looks amongst modern parts
The motorbike frame was stripped downward as well as repaired, as well as the aftermarket side auto mounts as well as stone oil cooler that we're welded on were cutting off. The gas tank was also stripped down, repaired, as well as repainted dorsum to manufacturing flora sunrise orange.
The engine was completely rebuilt, all the same approximately novel components were added, including stronger valve guides (since the former ones had a history of beingness a chip weak), a upgraded cam tensioner, as well as a billet aluminum stone oil heart rotor. The electrical was also completely re-done, amongst a gear upward novel wiring harness installed, an upgraded rectifier/regulator combo, as well as novel maintenance complimentary battery. To assistance the bike make a chip to a greater extent than speed, a K&N Filter was added to the stock airbox, a gear upward novel Hindle Exhaust organisation was made as well as fitted onto the bike, as well as the carburetors we're rebuilt as well as re-jetted for the upgraded air filter as well as exhaust.
If you've upgraded parts, what gear upward did you lot direct as well as where from?
Finally, the braking was upgraded. A floating nurture disk was added to the nurture department of the bike, as well as both forepart as well as nurture rotors we're drilled. The original nurture master copy cylinder was no longer usable, as well as thus I decided to check on an aftermarket Nissin master copy cylider, as well as finally added stainless steel brake lines for the finishing touch.
The forks we're upgraded amongst progressive respite springs to assistance stiffen the forepart spell keeping the bike comfortable when riding.
I used a Nissin master copy cylinder for the nurture brake since they are 1 of the transcend manufacturers from Japan, as well as their high-quality production would ensure worry complimentary braking for years to come.
Any interesting challenges ?
The biggest challenge amongst this motorbike was sourcing original parts for the 1975 CB750F. Not besides many models we're sold, as well as the supersport model has approximately unique parts that were solely used for the 1975 year, as well as thus finding proficient character original parts was extremely difficult. Even if I institute the specific business office I needed for the motorcycle, really oft they we're non inwards proficient shape, as well as thus I had to restore or rebuild them.
The goal of the motorbike gas tank is the original manufacturing flora color for the 1975 Honda CB750F SuperSport, the solely twelvemonth it came inwards flake Sunrise Orange, maybe my favorite motorbike pigment of all time. All manufacturing flora stickers we're also re-made as well as placed onto the bike where they originally we're
Any unique features?
the unique features of this bike has to live the exhaust organisation as well as brakes, since the remainder of the motorbike is a dandy representative of how the bike looked similar from the factory, yet those added components compliment it's vintage hold off amongst approximately modern technology.
How does the bike ride?
Riding the motorbike at nowadays is super fun. It's extremely quick, stable, slowly to move, as well as really comfortable. A perfect ride either inwards busy urban substance streets, or longer trips inwards the country. And of course of teaching the pigment as well as hold off of the motorbike ever attracts attention.
What volition you lot produce next? New projects?
I am also starting a chopper projection amongst a 1993 Harley Davidson Sportster. I desire to ever live challenging myself amongst novel designs, as well as edifice a hardtail chopper seems similar a dandy novel project
