Totally redone from the frame up...

From the bones of a classic 1974 Honda CB 750 I spent 4 years on and off building this vintage bike. Tore the entire bike down. Powder coated frame. Full engine rebuild. Chromed all the engine covers. Upgraded to high voltage coils, electronic ignition. Velocity stack carbs. Custom seat pan with custom vinyl seat. Chromed gauges, custom gauge faces, rebuilt front shocks, new back shocks, new chain, new "old school" dunlop vintage race tires, Custom knee dents on the tank, new battery, totally rebuilt brakes including master cylinder rebuild, All new wiring harness, new turn signals, Rebuilt vintage horn, new clubman bars, custom below-the-bars mirror. New 4 into 1 exhaust. Basically built from the ground up. The only thing left is whether or not to jet it for high altitude. It has only 5 miles on the rebuilt engine.

SEVEN FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!! and it still has the stock foot controls, a cheap mac pipe, and a clubman bar?


heheheeee... u mad bro.
No rear fender and velocity stacks that will act as catchers mitts, funnels, and vaccum cleaners (all at the same time, mind you) for the shit the tire slings. Awesome.
looks like it has an inner fender.
4th picfrom the top shows part of a fender, but the last two I see daylight infront of the tire, so who knows...
shit....spend $995 more dollars and get a new triumph bonneville that comes with a warranty.

But that would be a demonstration of using common sense.

Can't be a cafe racer, no where does it say "cafe" on it
That rear wheel does not seem to have enough clearance from the seat pan. Not for the heavier rider.
lol I'm sure it is, any particular reason to post it in this ancient CB thread?

OMG the dude wants 17 grand american for an XV750 with no fenders and a stock motor,
that's like $22,650 Canadian, would anybody in their right mind pay that?
That's more coin then a brand new BMW S1000RR that comes with a warranty.

It's a Hageman built VX, which is done to a pretty high level of quality. He's kind of famous for customizing Viagras, (even though all of his bikes look the same to me). The down side of his bikes are that most of the uninformed, inexperienced, hipster droolers see them and try to emulate them, without knowing what has been done, or how they have been made to work. Then they try to hack and cobble together a copycat VX....and, it usually ends up like...well, like many of the abortion projects we see, here.

I just wonder if Greg Hageman knows, or gave permission, for his photos to be featured on da-sky-guy's blog site...... :confused:
That's good because a brand new BMW S1000RR is built to a pretty high level of quality and they are fairly famous for manufacturing performance motorcycles too.
What parts of that VX did Yamaha or somebody else build and what parts did Greg Hageman build? Possibly I am not giving it enough credit where credit is due.
