It runs as good as it look like?
Not yet, I am waiting for a crankshaft, piston pin and a wad of federal reserve notes to arrive.
I have anticipation, I want to ride a cb750 this year.
Updates coming in future episodes.

I was going to nominate for BOTM but sounds like it has stalled.

It was the runner up in the April 2021 Bike of the Month.  Now eligible for re-nomination, if you like . . .

I thought DOHC was double overhead camshaft, however I found no camshafts, optional I guess.

Aren't you glad those bearing surfaces are replaceable?!!!

Did you know it was camless? That would go in the pissed off thread...
Everything had max compression or is that no compression?

Does anyone want to "second" this bike for a renomination for BOTM?

This is a one owner 12k mile bike I bought in December thanks to a forum member here.
Cleaned the carbs on Friday.
Installed carbs Saturday, added gas and oil and it started up and ran perfectly after resting in a Texas carport for forty years.
I was riding up and down my street, a guy was looking at me like he had one back in the 70's.
Has quite a bit of patina.

I was not properly informed, no cam chain either.

Engine was stuck, I was able to disassemble without machine work.
