Picked up this dirty old girl last night and almost had to camp out at a walmart when my vans altenator decided to take a dump. Good times!

I know right! Headlights died out right in front of an autozone but strangely autozones close at 9pm in SC....on a friday....bizarre.

Tried some other tanks but I think the white one is the fav.

Actually I kinda wanted to buy that seat, but I didn't think my wife would be too happy if I got rid of her spot. That hump doesn't look too passenger friendly.

Nice score by the way!

Cb450 tank

I like it with the F tank and cafe seat! Looks great with those pipes. Needs lower bars though.

Thanks, triple platinum pimp move=buy her a bike! Win-win

No doubt. Using some number plates and I think the 750fourk sidecover emblems to the lower front of the tank in sometype of configuration.
I really dig the f tank but the seat seams to big for it scalewise....I really wanted it to work because that metal flake gleams so nice in the 🌞

She has no interest in having a bike of her own which is really too bad, because I'd get her a CB350 in candy red to match mine, because that's the kinda dorky stuff we do.

What a STUNNING buy for under $1000 !
Around here I can't even find one that's a rusted lump for less than $700 (with no title, to boot).

BomberMann650 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 14, 2017, 07:32:18 PM »

The white tank gives it a dignified italian look.

But the long supersport tank might ride better with clipons and a manx style fairing

I keep passing up cheap K7/8's up here in Michigan...I don't really like 'em. Good engines though!

Well Sean you could be a pusher, buying them up and foisting them on list members who do...think of it as acting as a buying agent.
Or, just a bad influence on others.
Should be finding some good buys as weather turns nasty.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #20 on:** October 14, 2017, 08:50:14 PM »

Whiteorbs, very nice find and looks like it had a good set of pipes. Often hard to find a bike with good pipes, much less a cheap bike with good pipes.
Looks really nice with your build a bike collection of parts to make it a nice looking one too.

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #21 on:** October 14, 2017, 08:58:16 PM »

Agreed-

I am going to have to patch a small hole on the inside but itll be well hidden. The business side is lookin good.

This has to be the best deal I ever scored on a cb750-
and here is why: 1) It was posted in craigslist under parts section as a parts bike, lol...
And 2) the guy keyed in the digits of his number in the wrong order so that when you called it it rang as a "not in service number. I have seen this a few times done in hast and so I tried 4 or 5 combinations of numbers till I got a reply. If not it prolly would have been gone in like 5 minutes flat around here. Lotta pros who scoop up everything and repost it the next week. Mostly retired folk with time to kill!lol
I felt like I had code broke the nazi Genesis or something!

I solved the less desired k7 k8 body work issue...put older body work on! Same sexy looking engine.
I have like 4 77-78k tanks if anybody needs one as a result.

Two more scored cheap thst were k7 k8 bikes
