The bike looks to be well cared for. Got any history on it, miles, title, plans? Good luck with the project.

Wow that bike looks complete.  Does she fire up?
Welcome back to the 750, best of luck with your "new" ride


Everyone thinks Chuck Norris is bad, but Chuck Norris has not meet Lucky either.  Lucky will round house kick Chuck back to 1969 and pop a wheel with the 1st sandcast while shotgunning a PBR!

Yep - She Runs and I got a Title with current registration - I gotta put some new front brake pads in and change the oil . I would like to find another 4-1 Pipe . Oh yea I got some Stock Exhaust Pipes with it Too . Best $1,750 Dollars I Spent In a while - throwing that out there so you will know what I Paid ( I'm really bragging ) Maybe putting the stock exhaust on is best , I bought another set on CL last month and between both sets I hope 1 set will look Decent enough to Run .

Yah, the OEM pipes really make these bikes bring back that 70's look. Very retro...

Brag away, that's a good deal.  I paid way too much for my 71.
Two sets of pipes? Awesome!

Not sure on the miles - runs good . Dang Johnnie how many 750's do you have - I've owned a lot of bikes and NEVER kept any of them - My Wife says she's the only thing I EVER kept . 36 years -
