- After 7 years this is my first time riding the 750 chopper. The motor is running Weber DCOE 40s on a Russ Collins manifold and it has a ARD magneto.
*Updated video below of how the bike is now*

Looks like the chops we built in the 70's, sweet ride.

Except you didn't have $30 ebay welders and Google to give you a false sense of confidence.
That’s awesome.
Dear god thank you for cranking with the kick! I see these vids of the 70’s chops and they use the start button and I cringe. Sounds magnificent!
That's awesome, I had a triumph done up the same way. The only bike I regret selling.
Awesome bike!
One of my favorite engines as well!
I had a 750 Honda hard tail chopper with the springer front end and the 5 inch front drum brake! Eventually I put on forward controls from a Harley Davidson sportster! The shifter splines matched perfect!
Single overhead cam sound is awesome!
Good luck with that one!
I used to ride 18 over' ironheads with kick start and magneto in the 70s. Sometimes the bike would fall over when kick starting those P-cam 900s especially when the 714s kicked in.
What an absolute Beautiful bike. Ride safe.
Classic build. Sounding a little lean but you'll sort that out during first few rides. Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire UK.
Yeah I had it very roughly running here. Since then its been sorted out and runs much much better. I will get a new video soon of it up and running.
@@christophersavoldi3258 it's a great looking build, looking forward to it.
Cool.
At the bar - "I had to sell my car because it wouldn't fit in the garage" no s*#t man!!😂
This made me smile. My first bike was a 1975 CB 550. After customizing it called it the Honda Davidson. Lol.
Nice job man, old school cool right there
Had a 73 CB 750 Loved that thing.
I had a 1951 BSA Golden Flash 14 over back in the day.
That’s one bad chopper right there man, can wait to get my hands on a 750
This video has my heart racing 😂I'm so excited and so fucking scared to ride mine
Cool buid man. I built a VTX1300 after an ole boy got into a pint of shine and took it for a spin. I bought the left over parts. Put 21" spike apes with 3" harley spike risers. I will always be a fan of anyone who chops anything, ESPECIALLY METRIC BIKES. All u see is Harley. In 2022 Toyota is just as American made as Harley so im not hearing it from the Harley geeks!
nice sound
The camera man laugh got me! 😂
a friend of mine bought an original frame hd knuckle head with that kind of fork back in the 70's. i rode it a few times and it was the most rediculous bike i ever rode, it had no front brake and you could barely make a turn with it. i tried to talk him into putting a regular fork on it like a springer or a wide glide but he liked it.
I have one they are designed as a lowrider totally redicules
This bike was made with that front end in mind. So it isn't really hard to ride, I'm struggling here as it is literally my first time riding it and a bunch of stuff was not setup right. But I generally ride it every day if its nice out.
@@christophersavoldi3258 how do you stop it with only one brake? it's good you're happy with it.
@@steveperry1344 I mean it has a disc in the rear and it stops just fine. I don't ride it like its a super sport or anything so the rear brake is more then enough. A front brake would not work very well here since it would just try and tuck the front wheel due to how long the front is.
@@christophersavoldi3258 ok.
put duel pipes - tune carb and best of all -
put a 530 full 1000cc roller chain and sprocket kit on it.... if I recall correctly - drop one tooth on front and add three on the rear....
the 530 chain is 11% lighter and stronger the the 620 stock chain... that's besides the fact it's a true roller chain...
this puts the stock cam on it's best power band... it moves - you only will notice a very limited RPM difference ...
put lots of smiles for miles on my face back in the day
Gonna be needing a new clutch before long
Common misconception, wet clutches are designed to be ridden in the friction zone
@@77714anthony the common misconception is you can ride wet clutch without it causing excessive wear.
I'm riding the clutch here since it is literally the first time I have ridden it and it was not running 100%. Plus the front tire was low in pressure which was making it harder to ride. I don't ride it like that normally and after I get it painted I'm going to put up more videos of it.
@@christophersavoldi3258 you always have a TH-cam expert telling what your doing wrong. Probably don't even own a bike anyways nice bike dude!
Yep,,, That's right, I'm a you tube expert.
And it sounds to me like your in second gear Bud. !
Bad ass Bro...
Got the looks, got the flop. Good luck.
awesome build
That tank is gonna give you a solid 20 miles
It gets more like 70 to 100 miles depending on what I am doing.
Nice job looks good.
Man , working on one prettymuch like that but diff bars and rear . 🤘🏼
I built 3 of them myself,first one was a 70 or 71 that had the big valves oh how it would run.
Es sieht so aus, als ob dieser Chopper am besten nur geradeaus fährt. Kurven müssen bei dieser Gabellänge nicht sein ...
Sieht gut aus, fährt aber nicht gut.
ich leg mich flach. 😂 ein motorisiertes LAUFRAD🤣🛴
benötigt das ding schon benzin ,⛽
oder muss es noch an die brust.?🍼
What no electric starter?
How about a shovel, couple of golf clubs, pool stick, maybe a kitchen sink facet welded on, for a theme bike, alla OCC?
Oh, paint spider widow, black, red? 😀
You know $250,000, for a rolling hardware store, forgetting that choppers, where, well, chopped, minimism.
Pays to remember what these really looked like in the 60s.
Was having serious flash backs.
Very sweet! Thats how I want to build my next CB chopper. What frame is that?
Its actually completely custom made by Matt at Workingman's customs (though he doesn't do fabrication anymore). But its essentially based off a denver's frame as you can see by the double downtubes.
Awesome!
Love to find one of these .
That is mighty inconvenient mate.
And flat bars would suit better.
Imo
That is insane
Tough to get used to all of that length and rake of the front fork. Imagine all of that on a Harley that will weigh, at least half again as much as that bike.
In Deutschland undenkbar 🙄
Heißes Gerät echt klasse 👍👍
Haason Chop! 👍🏼
LOL, never seen a Honda 750 THAT hard to crank
Love it
I wouldn't ride that thing on a bet. No front brake probably makes it safer. Where is the anchor to help with emergency stopping? That rear tire would skid for a kilometer from a 100kph stop.
I have a 1974 honda cb750 chopper with harken girder front end, is it the pipes that makes yours sound different
Sweet bike sounds a bit high geared!
I’m just being very gentle on the throttle and feathering the clutch big time.
Looks hortei than hell! Cool bike man, its awsome cause most of cb750 are café racers ir Stock bikes and you do a craqueara 70s chopper
im guessing it got all figured out but if im honest it didnt sound like it was on all four cylinders or running quite lean, im just used to a nice drone sound from a inline 4 and a smooth rev.
You are correct I hadn't gotten the carbs completely sorted at this point. It runs much better and smoother now. I've been waiting on getting it painted and doing another video of it.
@@christophersavoldi3258 sweet! Can't wait
The longer the bars..the deadlier
The weight distribution is lighter weight.and
More likely to slip ..one example...
Turning on wet roads..I'm from early
Seventies.. listen to me my children....
His front wheel is gonna be reach the bar and he'll still be 2 minutes late
Try starting in first gear! Plus it sounds like one or two cylinders are cutting out.
I'm in first here, and yeah the carbs were not balanced so it wasn't running very well.
My chop is a 750. Killing me right now
Can anybody tell me the style of frame this is?
Like with the raised corner by the motor? By the way, sweet ass ride brother! 🚬😎🤘
Its based on a Denver's chopper frame but this frame was custom made by a friend of mine.
Fuckin sick. Lookin to do my first build, would like to do a frame like this. This exact look is what I want. I wasn’t sure if there is a name for the style.
Very cool . Fuk da hatrz. Do you brother... righteous.
….one way street. 🤣 Nice build.
Looks hard to steer , need to switch that Girder for a wide glide
Its actually not that bad, that was literally my first time riding it. The front tire was low which made it much harder.
neighbors prolly not as excited tho.........
Ok thats the stuff man rake and all..ever selling let me know
Id tell u their not that easy to balance at low speeds
SO what happens when you gotta, you know, Actually ride the bike
I get a lot of comments like this, the bike was running pretty rough here and this is quite literally the very first time I had ridden it. I was still getting used to all of the weirdness of the bike. I'm going to get another video after its painted of me riding it. Also the reason I stopped is that I have to fold up the foot peg to kick it and I had forgotten to put it back down.
Oh, does that look like fun??
To answer your question, "Yes".
Choppers look cool, but their sheer instability is shown by this rider's paddling by foot just to get the thing going.
I say this basically every time, but this is the very first time I had ridden it and a bunch of stuff was not dialed in.
💯💥
So i guess you start turning about a half block before you come to a corner right? Ha ha cool scooter
As a rider. What an uncomfortable ride lol
Second gear ?
Idle set slightly to low. They never take 3 kicks to start.
This was all very roughly running. It is not like that anymore, also this bike has a mag that is fully advanced at all times so it can hard to start when its hot.
@@christophersavoldi3258 curious why you went with a mag. I have a electronic ignition on my 71. Gets about 1000 more RPM over stock ignition
@@chopperchopster Its a chopper and the mag is a rare thing to see on a honda. It works well and makes it so I don't have to run a seperate coil.
@@christophersavoldi3258 makes sense. I did my chopper with hi performance rc engineering motor. Its stupid fast
@@chopperchopster hopefully you never experience "sudden rectifier death syndrome", which usually only strikes at least 10 miles from home in a cold rain, lol. With a Kettering battery excited iggy, you're pushing for a while. With a maggy, you lose your lights and horn. There's a reason aircraft engines run maggies
He looks both scared riding that I am watching
Well considering that I had spent 10 years working on it up to this point and everything is totally untested yeah I'm definitely nervous. Not to mention all the money that has gone into it and all the non replaceable parts, I was being extremely cautious.
No front suspension?
The girder is the suspension.
What's the exhaust?
Its a fully custom stainless exhaust.
Gonna be needing a helmet lol
👍👍👍👍👍👍🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Руль лучше был бы функциональным на этом велосипеде прямой.
waitt whatt cb750...?
Yuuuuhp
RIP kidneys
Try first gear
Looks cool but I wouldn't want to own it looks like a bitch just to get to roll
that's an accident waiting to happen....
Put it in first gear, probably go better
Yup was in first gear.
I thought those were cool..when I was 12
Those might be the ugliest handlebars I've ever seen. Cool bike though.
Their ok my Yamaha is faster
Hhh
Ridicule 🥴
I’ve never liked the look of the long ass front looks ridiculous in saying that I’d still ride it 😂😂
