Shirley that from suspension has so little travel it'd be useless?

That aside,change the bars,plug the triangle and fit a front guard,then it's not bad for a Homda.

At least it doesn't have bar end mirrors :)

Should have left the oil tank in the triangle under the seat, and if you're going to upgrade forks and brakes then change the forks entirely so you can get rid of the god awful pivoting calipers.

I have a hearty dislike of LED headlamps too.

Apart from that it's ok, for a CB750 cafe racer

Is the rider an midget?

Usual other stuff are mudguards, proper airfilter but apart from that it looks ok for a hobbit to ride.

Quite like the colour scheme and paint layout of the tank. The rest of it - why did they bother? There is so much that is wrong and very little that is right.
