1969 CB750 Sandcast


This was a classic example of dumb luck. I bought this bike thinking it was a '72 (per the seller) and completely disassembled it to build a caff. When 75% done, I discovered I really had a first model year CB750! I sold it to a collector in Australia who is presently restoring it to factory stock.

The brit style lettering is cool. Is that a decal or hand painted?

The lettering is Norton script (as seen on the Commando, Dominator, etc.) which I was able to download from the internet. I then had to do some freehand drawing to make the logo resemble the actual Norton logo. I used this to then cut a mask and the actual tank markings are rattle can sprayed.
