This is my 1972 Honda CB750 i semi restored over the winter 2010. I did not have it re chromed since I planned on using it as a daily rider. I spray bombed the tank and side covers myself to save money and finally put my new tank stripes, new tank badges and new tank chrome trim on her. The tank chrome is after market u channel chrome looking strips but it completes the look. Not its not a show bike, i ride this one a lot. short list, frame powdercoated, new wiring harness, new petcock, new ignition, new tires, new spokes. Like new original 72' seat (CL find). rebuilt the top end, new wheel bearings front back. rebuild caliper and master cylinder. too much to list.   |

It just looks like there is a heat mark in the center of your rotor. Mine have those and squeal like mad. I plan to drill them but every time I get out to the garage I end up working on the rd400. |
