CB750 Beater Project
« on: February 18, 2013, 09:25:48 AM »
This isn't going to be a crazy project, at least not at first. Just wanting to get her roadworthy again so that I can motor around town a bit before deciding what the next steps for her are.

On the trailer this past saturday getting ready to start the journey home ...



On the road!



Home sweet home ... well, the parking pad next to the garage at least.



Along with a carb/petcock issue the seller told me about, there are some ugly bits (yellow plug wires) and some dings and some things to get cleaned up. But I hope to have her in good riding order before too long ... definitely in time for spring.
