History of CB750 Australia - Glory Road Motorcycles is a small space that just opened in the heart of Adelaide, Australia. Step inside and you will find clothing, accessories and some motorcycles are good, like this latest Honda CB750 now.

The new store, but the owner Tom Harrison has changed since the age of 17-when he left school to work in a garage that specializes in Minis. Over the past few years, he has built a bike under the carport little 'curb.

Tom acquire enough skills over the years to handle all its own fabrication, outsourcing just paint and trim. That explains why this sleek, boat-tail '73 CB has a display that sits somewhere between handcrafted and factories.

Originally purchased as a wreck, which CB750 is one of the first built on Tom bench-but take a back seat to more pressing ventures. Presently, much to our joy, he at last completed.

The fuel tank stock but beautiful new tail unit, formed from sheet metal. Tom began to transform and strengthen the back of the frame, and create a new seat pan. Chairs neatly enclosed waterproof tan leather. Underneath, the blanket stock, oil tank and air box have all been binned. This space is now divided between the new and the battery box, handmade oil tank elegant.

In the front row of Keihin CR carbs, fed by K & N filter. Tom modify and rebuild the machine itself, fitting kit 830cc pistons and a new cam for extra oomph. Cases have burst water clean.

In front, the fork has been lowered slightly, held in place by three CNC milled aluminum clamps. Steering is via a pair of clip-ons, suitable for raising-set pegs mounted on brackets CNC milled.

Rounding cockpit is small speedo, and a chrome lamp held by custom mountain. A small rear lights have been installed at the rear of the side-mount license plate bracket.

Wheels have been rebuilt with new spokes stainless steel, and the hub and rim powder-coated black satin. Criticism rejoice: Firestone Deluxe Champion tires that are currently installed will be replaced by Avons.

Finishing build off is the paint scheme as classy as its own mods: black, with OEM decals and badges. Can you think of a better livery to return Honda antique vibe?
