Repaint like 1970-71 CB750 Pics

The combination of the Whitehouse tank, those wheels and the Endurance pipes will make it a really beautiful bike.

Aren't there some similar looking pipes made in Europe? Wyvern perhaps? Are they too different?

Thanks Cormanus....my tires will be mounted on these soon and I’m still trying to get these Endurance Racing pipes from Japan....to me they sound identical to a stock CB750

Perfect pic
After pipe replacement, will center stand be gone???

SAMURIDER carries the Wyverns..also made in Japan and similarly priced...listening to sound clips on YouTube I just like the Endurance sound a touch more.....if I end up not being able to get the Endurance I definitely will get the Wyverns....with either system I will loose the centerstand.....

I’m interested in painting my 2013 like the 1982 CB900F paint scheme.

Thanks Jedd....you’re right I think if you’re going to get the whitehouse tank then you really should get their side covers and seat....my kit would have been on by now if I didn’t have rotator cuff surgery...anyway I’m installing the OUTEX tubeless tire kits on the spoked rims I bought from Takeshi (off his personal bike...Half price from new!) then I’m going to finally put my kit on.

I attempted to get by with just the tank and side covers. The stock seat didn't quite fit and scrunched up near the tank though because the Whitehouse tank is a bulkier at the seat end. I could have sorted that out I'm sure by finding somebody to do the necessary shave-off of the seat, but I sprung for the Whitehouse seat as well after the fact. The only thing of note there is that I opted for the full-height seat. It's a dream when riding, but harder to maneuver with your feet while stopped. I'm 6', and can manage, but if I had it to do over again, I'd probably go for the lower-height seat option.

All in all, the Whitehouse solution is definitely not cheap, but the end result is outstanding. Getting a local shop to do the paint job on the original tank and replacing the side covers is probably more bang-for-the-buck.

Really starting to get that truer throw-back look.

Stunning bike Tommy.
Exactly what I want to do to mine...
