1975 CR 750 is what it was, was used for racing till the end of 75, sat out doors till I started the rebuild, never street driven, rain and sun and wind, salt air I can't say because I live at lease 20 miles from the ocean.

Yeah it was amazing how nice some aluminum parts were and how bad others were. The forks, calipers and hubs are all in pretty good shape, while the triples were all but destroyed. Must have been different alloys used that reacted differently to the climate down there. The last major part is a top triple. I had a lead on one buy the guy was nuts on price, so still looking. I'll keep gathering stuff slowly until its all there to make a bike out of. Other things to focus on right now but this one is still in the works.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.
