Hey all I'm Jake. New here but not to riding really. I'm 24 and I've lived around motorcycles my whole life. I pretty much grew up in a old HD shop, my dad used to work there on his off time, plus he knew everyone in the area there too. Personally I've been on 2 wheels since I was 10 or 11 riding dirtbikes. When I was 19 or 20 I got my first bike a 1980 Honda CB750, this is how she looked when I first got her



I'm not really into the cruiser look, I honestly love cafe racers and street fighters. After lots of cutting, welding, and swearing I turned her into this



The flat black looked good, but there was more work that I wanted to do. Plus I wanted her to look nice, to attract the ladies honestly haha, and many people thought my bike was a stock bike, I did to good of a job and not many people noticed my hard work so I took her down again to repaint everything, add some more stuff, and getting her to stand out in the crowd. Well this is where I am with her after a year of work. Right now shes mostly done, just need a few small parts, paint, and few details done



I ran into a few problems, I needed a bike to ride, now. Luckly my brothers friend was selling his 1990 CBR600, 7k on the clock, new tires, ran perfect, for $1000. He knew I've been wanting to buy his bike and he wanted to buy my brothers bike so he gave me a great deal so if I didn't buy it he was going to raise the price and put it in craigslist




Thats pretty much my life story. I came here to find people I could ride with, find good spots for riding, thanks for reading

I live in Clayton NC

I'm still collecting parts and working on it time to time, problem is I get on ebay or craigslist and find more parts I want. I just bought a nice newer dual disc front end, problem is I can't leave the back stock now, so I have to look for something better, its never ended haha. I should have it done this winter though, there isn't much more I want to do to it now.

Love the blacked out look on that CB! Good luck on the project. Post up more pics as you progress. Check out eyeofthestorms chopper/bobber Kawasaki project in the General Bike Chat section. He's got a pretty sweet custom Hurricane streetfighter also. WELCOME!

howd I miss this introduction????

Welcome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
