It is an 81 Honda CB 750 DOHC. Just got the frame back. Starting to mock it up when I can find time form work. Will post updates as the come along. This will be my first chop ever so should be interesting.

Yea I loved it the short time I rode it before I tore it down. Just hope it is the same in the new frame. I seen a lot last year at the smokeout that looked amazing. I seen one guy doing burnouts better than any V-twin that tried. Plus the sound of that motor on straight pipes.

That is going to be kickass. My first chopper was a 69' CB750 that my dad gave me as a basket case when I was 14. It had a long *** springer and a 69' custom rigid frame that had the small springs at the rear axle, I can't remember the name of it to save my life. Drag pipes, velocity stacks and all custom engine covers. That was a bad *** bike. I fixed that sucker up and rode it to school when I was 16 until I graduated. Sold it and bought a spankin new 91' FXSTS. I wish I would have kept it. Keep us posted.

Just remembered. It was an Amen Savior frame. I never found out who the frontend was made by but it had octegon shaped rear down tubes and round front tubes, with big spike spring nuts sticking out the top and Z bars.

Suggestion: Before you install the engine into the frame, pull the cam covers and adjust the valves, also take a look at the cam chain adjusters and make sure they are in good shape. The valve adjustment shims are available from several online suppliers, just look for 25mm (diameter) valve shims.
