To start with - I'm still working on the 1970 CB750K1, but when this beauty came up today - there was no telling it 'no!'
This is a 1976 CB750 with a title. I'm told that the bike was parked in 1986 because he was scared it was too fast! He said every month or so, he'd come out into his shed and turn it over with the kickstarter to keep the engine oil moving around. The bike is covered with dirt - but dang after a bath she's going to look gorgeous!
Not only am I quite thrilled, it's got the original HM341's!! So far, I haven't found anything wrong with the exhaust (holes, rust, etc). The compression "feels" incredibly strong, stronger than any other CB750 I've had - I honestly feel with a short blast of starting fluid, she might just start up. I'm "told" there is no oil leaks or anything like that - but she just got home so we'll see to that tomorrow.
So far, it all looks original to me and I'm THRILLED!
I'll update this thread as we get deeper, but I'm about to move the 1970 back to the house, so it should be a real good time!
Also - the headlight is in the fairing that was included, I've got to figure out how to remove it from there and re-hook it up! Tomorrow will be a great day and we'll see what happens with some battery power!
