I hear that , I have gathered a lot of CB parts over the past couple years. I do however also have a 100% bone stock 1978 CB750F Super Sport that I'm doing with my dad, and that is staying 100% Bone stock...I Even was lucky enough to track down an OEM Muffler (Black tip) that is in amazing shape... I'm so excited for that one too to have a completely original one.

That F bike can be worth some in the future when a lot of F bikes have been chopped to bobbers and what they are called in a way not possible to go back.

FYI JamesW (??) has, what he says, is a rechromed 77/78 F exhaust he wants to sell. Texted me but I delete all texting after done with. For me THIS is a preferred way to communicate within SOHC4. Except for doing pictures which are MUCH easier for me to text.

yeah I'm so excited as I've gathered almost everything I need for it. all HONDA OEM stuff, The biggest hurdle I'm having is figuring out what to do with the pistons/rings. the motor has super low mileage and is not frozen but I would like to at least re-hone the cylinders while I'm in there....Haven't been able to find OEM rings for the 410 pistons and don't know if I can re-use the originals.....

took me 1.5 years to find that muffler.... they are not easy to come by.
