Thanks man, yea i sold it to another Shovelhead guy and i was happy with the price i got, i just wanted it to go to someone that was in the know with Shovelheads and would take care of it, he told me he would be willing to sell it back to me if i ever want it back. Sulley
 
This was my '74 CB750. It was originally chopped up in the late 70's by some unknown hack artist and I got it in complete but unridable condition. I rewelded a few things, added the pinstriped sportster tank, rebuilt the engine and carbs, laced a harley wheel to the honda drum brake hub, added forward controls, installed the wrapped straight pipes, rewired the entire bike, etc. etc. etc. The engine was bored and stroked to 1050cc. I got a couple of years of enjoyment out of it before selling it. The trail on this thing was almost 18 inches, making it a real bear to ride. No front brake, and a drum brake out back meant it would barely stop and liked to lock the rear wheel up in the rain. So it was impossible to steer and would not stop. But it would go like nothing else I have ever owned when you got down on it.
