Hi everyone,

I'm wondering to buy a SOHC CB 750 but I've some questions, i'm looking on 2 bikes and for some parts I dont know :


its a '74 CB750, Whats this exhaust ??


its a '71 CB750, is it a color matching year ? and what on the rear ? is there paint on the original exhaust ?

if you have some answers, please...

Thank you i'll be soon an happy owner !

The picture of the '74 doesn't show the exhaust very well so its difficult to identify. The '71 picture is in the shadows so no color can be accurately determined. Is this all an oversight or are you attempting to make it a guessing game?

No sorry it's all I have











I need to know whats the best bike for start to have an original at the end

Not much to go on here, but the 71 looks like its a runner, the 74 not a runner.
On the 71, If there is a decent original exhaust under the non-stock black paint, you will be $$$ ahead.
The 71 looks like a repaint, the 74 original paint and dented tank, missing left sidecover.
74 has a replacement (alloy?) front rim.


...... and you will get more help posting in the tech forum (future project shop?) not introductions, and..... welcome.

74 has GL front end.
Blue bike, looks like a MAC header.
 Chopper frame is Machine Shop or G.M.E...looks like ..I think the girder is a Fury?

Frank, that is a 750a frontend, not gl.  Look at the brake.

Yep that is right, i was looking at fender and rim..

Thank you guys, unfortunatly the '71 was sold very fast, and i'm  the only one to be on the '74, no ads on the net, so... I will ask question now on the right forum thread.
Thanks for answer by the way, a CB750a front end...
