I love it! ...it's pretty loud but it has a great tone - not hollow sounding like straight pipes.  Wouldn't recommend it for group riding but I'm typically commuting and riding solo so nbd for me.

Ultimately I'd like to have my 77 that's not totally stock and a nice stock early cb750 in next to mint condition, that would make my real happy!

Nice looking bike, I like how the shape of the tank is copied in the tail of the seat pan. Great color as well.

How do you like your breadbox filter set up? How did you set the carbs up,what are you running for jets and needle position or mixture screw turns out. I just put one on my 77 right before the winter, got it running pretty good with my set up but need to fine tune it a bit. Might go back to the stock airbox to dial it in and then re visit the breadbox, any input you have would be great.
