Make CBs Great Again: Justin Webster’s Honda CB750 cafe

?I grew up working on hotrods with my father,? Justin tells us, ?and always dreamed about having my own custom shop when growing up. I have him to thank for instilling a passion for all things mechanical.?
?I fell into the motorcycle industry when I bought my first motorcycle?a 1976 CB750F?in college, and had to make my own parts because I couldn’t afford to buy any. I am completely self taught in all aspects.?
Justin got cracking with a full tear down, before de-tabbing and modding the frame in key areas. Up top is the fuel tank from a 1974 CB750K, matched up to a hand-made seat cowl.
Justin’s shaved and smoothed the triple trees to remove any casting marks. And he’s fabbed up a pedestal mount for the lower triple, so that he could ditch the headlight ears and mount a Bates-style headlight.
There’s a Rick’s Motorsport Electrics solid-state regulator and rectifier too, and Justin’s used high-strand, low resistance wiring throughout.
He’s also gone to great lengths to hide all the bits keeping the bike street legal?LED taillights are embedded in the rear frame rails, doubling up as turn signals. And, if you look closely, you’ll spot where Justin’s molded the front turn signals into the underside of the fuel tank.
The final color scheme takes cues from 1950s appliance design, and there’s fresh upholstery on the seat pad. And the new Avon Roadriders should provide plenty of grip for a beginner rider.
