A great start for a CB750 resto!

Hey this looks ok, only 16 hours to go, so be quick, I want that fairing! Cheers, Terry.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Are you sure you want that fairing? Boy I dont know. I wonder if EVERY seal needs to be replaced or just all BUT 1.

Wheres the 750?  All I saw was the front of a B52 and giant luggage compartment.  Good God!, somebody actually rode it like that? :D

Hey Terry,
I would take the rest and leave the fairing... no accounting for taste i guess.

Well if I only had the one bike I guess it'd be different, but as I have the best part of 4 CB750's now, and another four GS Suzukis, I reckon a dressed up single minded tourer with a big comfy seat, panniers, top box, and B52 cockpit on the front would be just the thing for a weekend blast between capital cities?

I know, as I get older I'm slowly evolving into an old fart, but in fairness, my other project that is running parallel to this one, my "Endurance racer" special, is the opposite end of the spectrum, so there's still some balance there, somewhere? Ha ha, Cheers, Terry. ;D

Well at first I did not think it looked like a b52 cockpit but upon second look.....I think even the kitchen sink would fit behind that thing!
