Honda CB750 - a mash up of parts

(1/6) > >>

kyle750:
Just listed for sale on my local Thailand facebook group. Seller has a clear title and the bike is currently registered.  Not really interested in buying as it looks like a mixup of mismatched parts but curious what other SOHC forum members see and how you would evaluate this bike?

K0 tank and side covers
Engine painted black  - similar in style to the early Kawasaki K1 engine
Wrong seat - looks too small maybe from another CB model
Fenders painted black
Front forks painted black
No speedo cable
Modified disc brake system to the rear wheel?
Rust on the rear wheel rim
Exhaust with lot of dents - header pipes look decent
Later model turn signals
Gas cap and petcock don't look right to my eye

kyle750:
I just read that the Honda CB750 K7 (1977-1978) Japanese Domestic Market had a rare rear disc brake. The most significant difference is the use of an F2-style swing arm and a rear disc brake, which was unique to the JDM K7 models, whereas other markets had a rear drum brake.

It's far from original...but I don't hate it.

Agreed.  I'm quickly warming up to it. But just because something might be rare does not mean it is worthwhile.

Originally I completely had written of the bike as cobbled together junk but have since started a dialog with the owner. IMO it's still a mash up of parts   ???  First question to the owner - what year is the bike on the title? :o
