Just Right -- 1975 Honda CB750 SOHC Custom Softail

"JUST RIGHT" "Just Right" is a custom built street bike which combines the best of the American chopper with the high-rev power of a built-up Honda CB750 engine.  It was crafted from the finest steel, chrome, brass, and copper,  then finished in dramatic, unique colors and with a style which emphasizes the overall balance of this fine machine.  The graceful lines of the custom gas tank and oval oil reservoir emphasize the curve of the single front tube and literally create a display window for the engine and its supporting cast. The Honda engine was chosen in open defiance of the modern notion that a first class custom machine must be powered by an air cooled V-Twin. The high compression, high lift, heavily carburated, straight-piped, 862cc four cylinder engine is, in full modern form, still as much of a game changer as it was when it was introduced to the world in 1968. The metallic white paint used as the base color for "Just Right" is the exact same paint used by BMW Automotive on its world famous M3. The red-orange trim is the familiar Chevrolet Red-Orange color used by General Motors for many years to set Chevrolet automobile engines apart from the herd.  The paint scheme was carefully crafted to emphasize the length and grace of the frame, while providing visual front-to-rear balance between the slightly oversized rear tire and the slightly oversized headlight.  The pictorial on both sides of the fuel tank is taken from an actual National Geographic photo of an exploding star forty-five light years from Earth.  The crowning touch, the vintage pinstriping, was designed and painted for "Just Right" by renowned motorsports artist, Larry Ortiz.  The bike carries no excess baggage or faddish implements.  It is pure motorcycle.  Despite the show quality of its design and finish, "Just Right" is no garage queen.  It was built to be ridden often and fast.  The high revving engine provides heart thumping acceleration,  and it delivers its punch with thousands of screaming rpm's and bright flashing metal.  It will demand a high level of regular maintenance as all true high performance machines do, but then it is truly one of a kind and deserves to be treated as such.   Frame Specs: Big twin 1" neck Custom Tube gusset 7" up with a single curved downtube 5" forward with a straight backbone 37° rake Round Hidden axle blocks 3/4" 180 rear wheel
