I guess Facebook has taken over ... real shame because it was the go-to site for anything early CB750 and a wealth of knowledge on there ...probably regurgitated (and possibly distorted) on social media. At least this site and the sister UK site thrives on...long may it continue.

I hadn't known about Sandcast Only.

Yes, it would be very interesting to know where Vic’s bike has been and how it was acquired, just the highlights. The blue bike doesn’t look right for some reason. The tank seems to be off something else like a 450. Maybe it’s a prototype tribute bike.
Hopefully the true prototype can be seen and enjoyed by many, it’s very, very cool.
I would love to hear it run, looks like there isn’t much baffling in it.

MauiK3,
Thanks much for your interest...although, this is now the 2nd time I've seen the word "tribute" on this Forum.
And at first I thought: "Ok, there is NO way that CB750 enthusiasts would forego looking at the website for this bike on their computer:
https://www.cb750prototype.com/
(for which I posted some 203 fotos there!)...but rather instead electing to just look on a phone! (for which the website provider has not made it easy at first glance to find the Other SIX pages there!).
Which is the only explanation I can think of.
Because once one sees All the fotos, especially comparing all the parts piece by piece with a street bike ("Engine + Carbs" page there), it's easy to see this is the real thing..and No!, not a 450 tank!
The prototype tank IS different than a stock 750/even than a sandcast. And to answer, I found the bike some 2 1/2 decades ago, mostly in boxes (except the big parts ofc).
Thanks for your interest, and I hope you are able to see all the fotos (they ARE viewable on a phone...seeing all 203 images a bit tedious there I would think).
Navigation from the Home Page is a bit hidden...JUST hit the 2 little dashes at the very top).
And I've long ago brought this up with the website firm, asking them can we put a simple "Menu" there instead of the dashes?...They even agreed it was a good idea! lol...but still no change.
Thanks again,
Vic

Jakec,
Thanks very much for starting this post. I actually just now saw your question about if there were prior old fotos (other than everything on the website)
https://www.cb750prototype.com/
Although.... when assembling it, I Did take a ton of fotos of each individual part (go to "Engine +Carbs" or "Frame" pages there for example).... when I found the bike, there were not even cell phones!
The bike (except for the big pieces) was mostly in boxes.
Ok, thanks again for your interest.
Vic
