Topic: Came across 1974 cb 750 that is near mint, sitting 30 yrs

[lucky]

Thanks everyone
It's my girlfriends uncle. I have known him for years. He has a second kid now and selling almost all his bikes. My friends have bought 2 - 197x 350 cb's off him already but the gas tanks were in better shape, and an old Harley sprint off of him. He is  into old bikes, he had a BSA. And is currently working on a Norton. The price is gunna be a grand. He does have the title too.

Once I get there tonight I will take Photos and post them.

Yes it still has the original exhaust. Good point to check for rust on these. 

My Main thought is if I want to do a lot of changes to it. But I'm just getting ahead of myself.

The guy must like you, but if you bobberize that beautiful stock bike you are a spiritual criminal!! Lol..lol

Well I hate to say it but this thing has to go.  Had a plan to have it going already and it kinda is but not all the way.
I have been out on my Buell instead.

So check the for sale thread or pm if interested.

Dawg I know this is a old thread, but I recently got a all original 74 Boss Maroon CB750 and I was using the search to find other info on 74's on this forum and yours came up. Your thread ended(Aug 11 2012) with you saying (this thing has to go) and nothing else said and no other post after that. Why? So what happened? Did another member buy it?

Hey James. It's good a original bike like that went to another forum member and has a good home. Really nice bike. So tell me a little about it. How long did you have it and were you able to get the problem issues that Dawg was having with it fixed. How long did you keep it before selling it to the current owner.

Just sent you a PM about this. Didn't think you were coming back to this thread. No plans to sell this K4. Could not walk away from this original bike even though the throttle was froze and engine stuck(past tense was) a little ATF freed her up. (hopefully no internal damaged) But of course sitting 30 years mechanically it needs plenty of TLC. Got to get my 77 Wing going before spending to much time on the K4 though. Hoping it will be a good everyday rider like my other 750's.
