Latest CB750 purchase
« on: April 14, 2013, 06:35:20 PM »
latest purchase.    Finally found a decent cb750 to ride till I get my mint 750 built.
Not a steal at 1400. but lots of potential and no work needed.  Perfect summer beater bike.
only thing i need to do is change the carb spring, its so tight it wears you out.

Nice and no way a beater bike.   Very good deal at $1400. Looks like original paint? Mileage??

thanks guys,  yeah not really a beater but beater price i guess.   carb spring is super stiff so ill swap that out,  oil change and tune.   runs really well with a slight hesitation at low rpm.
