Default My 71' CB750 project

Hey whats up? I just purchased my first motorcycle (age 22) for 500$. It's a 1971 Honda CB750 with 14k miles. Has a 4-1 exhaust on it with aftermarket ugly handle bars and a sissy bar.



My goals:

Remove sissy bar
Remove rear fender
Get clip-on or clubman handlebars
New tires
New front brakes
Rebuild forks
Custom rear seat possibly
Possible paint job

Now I just need my permit and learn how to ride it

Holy crap. I think I saw a sissy bar like that was on my sister's bike... 20 years ago.
