The culmination of 4 years of work by Jeff Stephens of Godffery’s Garage in Burlington WI, this 1972 Honda CB750 Café Racer blends vintage styling with high-performance upgrades. It's powered by a 1976 SOHC 836cc engine with forged rods, Wiseco pistons, Cycle Exchange stage 1 cam, and precision-machined internals. The hydraulic clutch conversion with a Barnett pack ensures smooth shifting through its 5-speed transmission. Fuel delivery is handled by 34mm Mikuni flat-slide carburetors on custom mounts, while an RC750 replica exhaust with custom internals adds a signature growl. Upgraded braking includes a dual disc conversion with drilled, scalloped rotors and rebuilt calipers from Godffery’s Garage. The front end features Race Tech internals and Tarozzi components, complemented by rebuilt Marzocchi shocks in the rear. Riding on high-valance Excel wheels with stainless steel spokes and Avon Road Rider tires, this CB750 offers a refined, responsive, and stylish ride—ready for collectors or café racer enthusiasts alike.
