I love it too, I think I'll keep an eye out for another to make a Cafe next.
Dude, I know you don't want to hear this, but you will regain more low-end/mid-range torque by putting a baffle in that muffler. You can customize a Vance & Hines straight through absorbtion baffle that will work and still be really loud. The V&H drop-in baffle comes in two flavors, loud (street) and really loud (strip) and only cost about 40 bucks. It didn't take very much work to fit a set in a 4 into 2 Jardine system that I have on one of my old Yam's and it sounds great too.
I put in the ones for the street, the race baffs have a much bigger hole.
I gained a bunch more horse power and torque after doing this...
Just a thought

yeah dude, that's me at the 3:08 mark. I'm pretty impressed I did that well only 3 months into riding.
I'm being mostly safe. Still use the jacket, bought a new helmet that fits better and an armored leather jacket for colder weather. Pushing 16k now...would be more, but they won't let me deliver pizza by bike. That's cool though, found out the other day the job I almost got at CNN has reopened. I'd be putting on about 70 miles round trip for that commute. Oh, still have your old pudding bowl helmet, never wear it if you'd like it to go with the CB. Otherwise I'll probably just sell it.

I;m way late for this party, but I just needed to say that this is one of the best looking bikes I've ever seen.
I don't mean project bikes, or Jap bikes, or whatever. I mean in general, as a whole, that's just an unbelievably great looking motorcycle.
It makes me inspired and hugely discouraged at the same time, in that it's so amazing that I want one, but I know I could never make it happen. I just don't know enough.

So .. I might be losing my mind (GF says so) by making this decision, but I listed my 1976 CB750F SS on eBay.
I have my eye on something and cant swing it without freeing up garage space and money. Soo .. if you know someone who wants a schweeet cafe racer that runs as good as it looks ... please put them on it.

I agree, one of the best CBs I can remember. You really can't go wrong with Benji's.
