I finally hooked up with the guy that has the 750 I've been posting about. Turns out its a 1978....not a 74 like I was told.
It already has a Cafe fairing, 4-1 header with a home made
rear section. Looks like a megaphone....sounds cool though, pod filters,new tires,brakes, and the engine has been gone thru.....rings, bearings, etc.....was shown the reciepts.
Now for the tranny.......I had thought it was shot from what the guy that told me about it was saying. The owner said he rode it 3 days after the engine was rebuilt and 2nd gear went out. When he got it fired up, you could hear a rattle. When the clutch is pulled and its put in gear it goes away. He rode it a few days by not using 2nd but was told if he kept riding it, it might lock up and toss him.
Would this be a costly fix? He only wants 400 for it.For what its got on it and what has been done to it, it seems like a deal. Motor sounds good and didnt smoke at all. This would be my first road bike....used to ride dirt bikes all of the time but never got into the trannys on one.
If I get it.......I guess I'll have to change my user name.
