CB750K Cafe Racer

That didn't last long...I couldn't help but get more parts during quarantine. Modified the fork top bridge to make it look more intentional/stock.  Usually on these builds I see people leave the handle bar clamp mounts and instrument cluster mounts on.  I cut off the right side cluster mount and opened the left one up to fit the choke.  I cut off and sanded down the clamp mounts and retapped the holes deeper.  I plan on making some black elliptical shaped badges to bolt onto those new flats.  This is a focal point of the cockpit so I wanted to do something a little different with the finish.  I sandblasted the bridge and plan to leave it like this, although I might anodize/dye it a little darker.  It's really starting to look like a thing.  Just need to mount the motor and I could lie and tell you it was finished; ready as it needs to be for Instagram right?...I wanted to give the stock controls a shot before replacing them (expensive for decent lever assembli
