Thank you for the kind remarks.

Please note that there is not a single BCR item/part in the CB750.

Here is another product of my itchy fingers.  1971 Honda CB450 with 500cc kit and nice fast road cams.

My mistake, looked like a BCR tank to my untrained eye.  Either way, awesome bikes!

Short answer: sell your soul and/or first born.

Long, painful answer: lots and lots of practice tearing things apart and rebuilding them. It helps a lot if you have someone knowledgeable handy to look over your shoulder or bounce ideas off of (this board is GREAT for that), but hands-on experience is the best teacher. Everything is intimidating at first until you finally do it, and then it's not such a big deal. Shop/repair manuals are also a big help from the mechanical side.

From the body work side, you pretty much have 3 options. 1) Get a job as an apprentice at a body shop and do it for 8+ hours a day. 2) Technical/vocational school classes to learn how to do it. There are places like the Motorcycle Mechanic's Institute where this sort of thing is their bread and butter. Some community colleges and the such offer these sort of things part time or nights/weekends, just depends on what's available in your area. Or 3) Do some research on what you want to do (metal work? fiberglass body panels? carbon fiber?), figure out what materials and tools you'll need, and jump in with both hands/feet.

Or some combination thereof.

Fantastic 450, my second bike was a CB450 - sold my 305 Super Hawk to buy it
