Restored by "Dr. Phil"
« on: June 14, 2007, 06:05:48 PM »
I always enjoy reading this stuff. It's a challenge to see just how many incorrect parts I can actually find compared to the seller's claim. Read it and laugh. Ebay item 120131914630..... :)

Notice the sharp pics of everything but the VIN plate.

The real "Dr Phil" on TV is a B.S. artist too. BTW.

If you don't care about correctness...the CB750 looks pretty good.

However, I have always been bothered by the Honda wings on the side cover going backwards. On both sides, so you know they don't know. Not like they could only get lefts or rights. And, they are red K1 wings to boot.

Yeah a lot of variations from the day it left the factory. However having the wings (no matter whether K1 red or not) face backwards is the most criminal of all transgressions. ;D
However he has the 77-78 17 inch real wheel and God bless him for that. I have a K1, 2  K2s and a K3 on the go right now and everyone has the 17 inch real wheel. Fills the rear in a way the stock 18 incher just misses. IMHUFO.

 I would be surprised if this makes its BIN price. While nice, the K2s up are not in that league.....are they...yet? And the deviations from pure stock will keep it lower.

I'm guilty of that. Mine came without the left one. I bought a cheap rightside one, and as I didn't want to pay 35 bucks for a piece of plastic, my left wing is facing backwards. Actually, nobody until now here in Spain could tell where should it face.

If anybody want to trade my red-rightside K1 wing for a left one please send me a PM...  ;D

Wings in the wrong direction is like a 1950 Studebaker. Which way is the front direction?
