for a special engine, there is the need for a special frame 
in the late 70ies I raced an egli cb 750. the engine had 1000ccm, complete bike had a weight of 163kg with oil (without fuel), ready to ride, street legal.
to my mind, the egli big backbone frame is one of the best chassis ever built. it is light, simple, there is easy access to all components and the frame is rigid enough for almost all sohc engines up to all speeds.
therefore I decided to build such a clone by my own:

enjoy the pics.

new pictures added.
frame and swingarm done!
the last pictures show the 1000ccm engine implantet in the new frame.
also to see, that I had to reposition the steering tube due to an improper steering angle. my goal was 65° (the false position showed 61.5° and I did not want to build a chopper ). this repair was done in half a day.

Very impressed! Always been a dream of me to own a Egli (replica), but then again there is so much I have dreamed of.
Cheers, Rob |

I like it a lot. If I had more ambition, I might actually get some of my projects done. I found another CB750 (1974) with a clean title, running engine, good carbs, and a tank with a very minor dent. It's been FUBARed electrically though, and it's missing the front brake master cylinder, tach, dummy light cluster, and some DUMB@$$ cut the front brake line. It RUNS ok, and I can ride it, but it's a beater. I have all the parts to make it into a whole bike. Oh yeah, it's got STRAIGHT PIPES  !!! One of the bikes will get an 836 kit one of these days.  |

Hi mec,
looks very nice. I hope it will drive like this. What’s the weight of the frame?
I’ve seen your modified dyno cover on the pictures. What kind of dyno are you using now or will you go without a dyno anyway (race only)?
Best regards,
Eric |

hi evh750,
its a little bit too early to weight the frame, cause in the steering tube and the engine-mount tubes there are heavy steel inserts pressed in. when all the work is done on the frame and it is nickel plated, these inserts will be replaced by aluminium ones.
the dynocover is selfmade and a fake. there is no dyno. the engine will be running exclusively on LiFePoly accus.

| when the snow clears you can tell us all what it is like to ride ! i know its pretty much a race bike on the road but you have done well to keep the weight that low . why number 11 ? [ if you were as old as me in england it would make you a roger marshall fan ! ] |

yes, dyno results and road test will follow.
number 11? I thought everybody who uses number 11 is a fan of me
in the old days, we did not use prefabricated numbers to glue on (not easy to get, expensive). all we had was insulating tape or perhaps some drops of paint and a brush. number 11 was the easiest to do (except number 1).
