This summer I've had a chance to pick up more bikes then usual and also more then just the usual CB750 or CB550 that I'm accustomed too. While searching I found this 70', one owner whose son decided it was time to let go of his father's bike. I had to reach out to a few members here in regard to what would be a proper amount to spend on this survivor. To those members thank you very much! Anyways, after some communicating, the son and I were able to agree on a price and this past Saturday she was delivered from Maryland. Mark, the person I bought the bike from carefully packed the tank, side covers, airbox, baffles up to avoid any damage during transportation.
As for the bike, it has 13,772 miles. The paint is original; tank inside is in excellent shape as it was stored away with racing fuel. Mark and his dad were and are big car guys and I'll share some pics of his muscle cars. The engine cases have been replaced by the Honda dealership where it was purchased from due to chain slap. The cool part about the dealership is that it is still open. I don't plan to do much to this bike besides get it prepped to be a daily rider. 3 out of 4 pipes have no rot at all and very minimal surface rust. I have the tool kit which still has a the Honda feeler gauge. At least I think it's the Honda feeler gauge. On the tool kit there is a pocket on the outside for the gauge. Overall in this bike is in excellent survivor shape. The ape hangers will be removed as I have a spare set in my shed. As for what I've done to the bike, the list includes removing the fairing, the luggage rack and sissy bar on Saturday. The seat is mint. The gauges are in excellent shape. The seat strap has been ordered. I placed an order for airbox boots, new side grommets, tapered neck bearings, wheel bearings, fork boots since I ripped on removing the fairing. Fork seals, hand grips, clutch cable has also been ordered. I misplaced 2 washers for the shocks and even ordered them.
