latest project 1974 cb750, too far gone to restore?
« on: January 21, 2012, 04:22:23 PM »
I picked this up from the same guy i bought the 2 550's from a few months back. He called me up, said he needed cash and we worked out a deal. it runs decent, but i def need to rejet if the pods are stayin on. My opinion is it would need too much to get back to stock: pipes, seat, signals, wheels front and rear, forks, headlight and bucket, exhaust, airbox, and probably more. i think this is a good candidate to customize and keep looking for something more complete to restore, what do you all think?

Ya, I have to agree with you.  If you want a stock resto you should probably start with something more complete.
