I got this bike on the last day of 2024, and I have finally gotten around to working on it. It’s a 1976 CB 750F. The bike is Candy Sapphire Blue. Someone has repainted the bike, but I believe it is the original color. I know that it is supposed to be a 75 color, but I think it is a very early production model. Frame seral # is 2000020. I wonder if they just used up the rest of the blue paint. Anyway, it’s in pretty good shape, but it needs some work. The PO had rigged a start switch after the original broke, so, I am replacing that. One of the throttle cables was missing, I ordered two new cables, plus a clutch cable and a throttle tube. It has an aftermarket master cylinder on it. The guy I bought it from said it needs to be bled. If that doesn’t work, I have two stock MCs. I will try to rebuild one of them. The gas tank is a little rusty, but not bad. I will have to clean that. The carbs have been setting without an airbox. It would probably be a good idea to clean them and rebuild them. I am going to get an ultra-sonic cleaner, big enough that I can put all four in at one time. I tried a good battery in the bike and most of the lights worked. I will have to do some checking on the others. Unless something unexpected shows up, I should be able to get it back on the road. The biggest problem is the time to do it!
