The unloved 81 Honda 750 build

[Rusnak_322]

I like where you were going, but that seat is not sitting well 

Looks like it needs something behind it, a cafe cowl or ?? Otherwise, nice job.

 I'm trying to avoid the common cafe theme with the cowl and no rear fender...And the cost, there are very no options other than a $300 plus custom made seat...The Harley Sportster seat is a bit  more cruiser style than I like, but it was inexpensive ,to fits and is comfortable...

I know you're starting with a "C' but - Freddie Spencer tribute?

One of my favorite bikes EVER was a "Wes Cooley" I built from a GS1000G. Sure it had a shaft but DAMN, it was cool!

 I've been riding the bike and it's all ok...I spent some time messing with tuning because the CV carbs with pod filters and a 4 into 1 aftermarket exhaust can be problems. A Dynojet kit ,new intake rubbers and clamps, time spent adjusting carbs with a manometer and it runs nicely from idle to redline...Good throttle response at lower speeds with the expected rush of power from 6500 to 9500 rpm...The handling with the 96 750 Interceptor front end parts, 26 degrees fork rake, 4.2 inches of trail and 89 Interceptor rear wheel is reasonable . The bike now weighs about 510 pounds with fuel..But my tuned 96 Ducati 900 M is faster and for sure handles and feels better, the Honda being more numb that I thought it would be..Maybe the Avon Road Rider bias tires are part of it..
   The total price was around 2200 bucks including the purchase of the beat up 750C...I enjoy riding it on the rural back roads..

I had read good things about the Avons here, so tried one on the rear of the AeroLario. It's awful. <shrug> It seems like it's either sliding or getting ready to slide..

 That's a great description.....I don't feel comfortable "sporty" leaning the Honda in 60 MPH turns...The bike seems steady but maybe in my little mind I feel like it's about to slide so I back off...

Yep, that's it all right. And don't worry.. you little mind is right.  I'm going to bin the one I have, and it's practically new. (not Guzzi content)     Researching what I can get as we speak..
