Nice!  I rented one just like it in Hawaii years ago and had a blast tooling around the island!

Very nice.  Do a search there is many threads on here about them.  Need to check the cam chain tensioner issues.

It's not missing any parts, they're just in a bucket. and yeah the engine turns freely.
Needless to say I'm pretty stoked.

It's the year after the cam chain tensioner issues so I think I'm good.

Well it was and is currently. I think it was recently restored too. Albeit cheaply...
There's fresh paint on the trees (seems like latex paint) and the tank paint does not look stock. Also, the decals are actually a black sticker over white paint.

1) make it run.
2) ride the piss out of it.

I'm actually rebuilding it so the GF has something to learn to ride on.
Ideally I'd like a little CB175 supersport or CB125 or something but they're impossible to find.

This thing is almost complete and original as far as parts are concerned so it'd be a shame to chop it to bits. I have plenty of other projects for that.

They chopped up a nice one on cafe racer.  More I watched that show the more I disliked it.  I have a 76 and rode the crap out of it a for a few years.  Still have it and ride it some.  It sits comfy in the livingroom.  ;D
