Honda CB750C Café Racer
Due to a fatal transportation mishap, all the handlebar cables on a 1981 Honda CB750C were sheared off. After not a single motorbike workshop could be found near or far to repair the damage, the owner turned to us.
We then reconstructed the electric harnesses using old workshop manuals and largely rebuilt them close to motorsport standards. We also had to blueprint the switch units on the steering rack and the speedometer instrument also had to be repaired. A lot of fiddly work... But it was worth it: Now the beautiful design classic is back to its former glory.
The Honda CB750K was the successor to the technically revolutionary 750 K-Four developed in the 1960s. The 4-cylinder DOHC four-stroke engine delivers some frisky 78 bhp, which, together with the 4-4 exhaust system and the racing saddle without pillion seat, underline the character of a sporty supertourer. The CB750C is the tuned chopper version of the 750K.
And why Café Racer? Well: In the 60s, motorbikes of this sporty design were particulary popular with the young ''beatniks'' to impress the ladies at the roadside cafés. And since we had so nice weather, we wondered if this also could work today. So, we decided to hook-up for a photo session at the Duisburg town theatre square...

Control Center: Switches and Push Buttons Suitable for Motorsports
There are dozens of device switches and switch series of various manufacturers. Not every part is suitable for motorsport applications. Since many years we use switches and push buttons of SCI, Arcolectric and Apem: A ruggedised construction at high current rating of the first and a very defined mechanical actuation point of the latter ones have been our well-considered selection criteria. Especially at push buttons mounted to steering wheels and as usual in motorsports actuated with gloves the trigger response is key for ergonomic and safe operation.
