Said to be a 75 super sport. What seat is that? Looks like maybe off another model...far as I kbew all the super spirts had rear cowls. Pods too

Guy told me that year model came stock with pods! Worth a chuckle.
Odometer reads 6k mikes!

It is an F frame..

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #2 on:** June 14, 2018, 08:48:22 PM »

Earlier 75 F according to the gauges and the nylon cup rear master. I'd call it a mongrel. All we need are serial numbers for verification.

Clearly a scrap yard special. I love the headlight aiming.

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #4 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:06:53 PM »

Dude wants 5 bills. Starts idles and revs.

Has "new battery, new shocks, and new wiring harness"
Tank doesnt look too bad. Has a title too....

If you got the room may be worth the 500

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #6 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:19:10 PM »

6k miles...not to shabby.

Scott S · « **Reply #7 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:19:55 PM »

That seat looks a little like a 550F seat, the way the cut at the rear turns up.

754 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:21:52 PM »

Get the numbers, motor should be silver, check for chain damage and water in engine.

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #9 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:22:00 PM »

Ah, I think you may be right Scott.
Said to have boxes of extra parts...If I do get it somebody else needs that seat!

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #10 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:24:10 PM »

Thought "f" model shifters were flat too.

Could be a k engine. Gonna check those digits tomorrow morning. May be a frankenbike! I have love for frankenbike's :-)

754 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:39:55 PM »

A running engine.
A decent F tank.
Frame with reggie...... that is worth 5 if you want an early F, even with a k motor in it.
Roller..bonus..

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #12 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:41:23 PM »

Yes 👍

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:48:37 PM »

That is the stock 75f seat, it just does not have the cowl attached. Has a 77/78 tank...$500? I would have already bought it. He got a title?

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #14 on:** June 15, 2018, 06:57:08 PM »

Yep- guy said it was a stock seat too. Guess I am just unfamiliar with early f seats...looks to be in vg condition.

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #15 on:** June 15, 2018, 07:05:43 PM »

That's a 77 or 78 tank, but if its rust free is almost worth $500 by itself.

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #16 on:** June 15, 2018, 08:11:20 PM »

Not bad^

Shtonecb500 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 15, 2018, 10:44:55 PM »

buy that.

evinrude7 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 16, 2018, 05:47:38 AM »

if it's obviously a frankenbike the clock at 6k could be from another bike.

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #19 on:** June 16, 2018, 07:49:28 AM »

Could be- sure.
Generally 6k bikes dont get parted up to lend themselves to a franken build in my experience. Few sohc hondas I have seen with that low of mileage were pretty unmolested.
We'll have a look and see in a few hours .

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #20 on:** June 16, 2018, 09:18:39 AM »

Seat looks too fluffy. Recovered? The engine, whatever it is, has been removed to, at least, install the chrome valve cover and paint. Since it's been out of "A" bike it may have goodies in it.

jlh3rd · « **Reply #21 on:** June 16, 2018, 07:34:18 PM »

Here’s an unrestored 75 f for comparison....the seat certainly looks different ,and doesn’t meet the tank right, too big of a gap....

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #22 on:** June 16, 2018, 09:55:37 PM »

Just got in. Well some ups and downs..... Has a k engine for starters...runs great. Rear caliper is frozen. Stock seat has been recovered. All take offs present. The bad...frame was cut for that chrome valve covwr instal Id guess... Has title from 1983 but missing the notory signature. Prolly wont matter in states like South Carolina Id guess were they dont require a notory anyway . new battery new rear shocks.
Biggest buzzkill was the frame and the non F engine. Might part it. Tank is as clean as new inside and minus a clear coat bubble looks pretty good. All may be up for grabs gonna sleep on it.

And this was due to the hinge pins being removed . it was just kinda propped up there at some weird angle.
The blue bike is nice!

It’s for sale...but definitely not for $500...

By George what do you mean?

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #26 on:** June 17, 2018, 10:42:58 AM »

How can you tell it's not a F engine? They look identical. What's the serial number?

Did they save the piece that was cut out? Depending on where the tubes were cut, a weld-less frame kit may be in order.

78whiteorbs · « **Reply #28 on:** June 17, 2018, 08:22:06 PM »

Nope and they were cut all the way back.
Been down this road before a few years ago.
