I guess I am hooked
« on: November 16, 2007, 06:30:12 PM »
 ;)joined the forum a few weeks back and was looking for a 750, Well I found one in Wisconsin and I drove 8 hrs from Ohio to pick it up!  It is a 1978 cb750k 25,000 miles and does run.  Has been sitting for a while and there is a lot of surface rust on the chrome which can be an issue.  What is cool it is a full dress with fairing and rear hard bags with rails and crash bars. I think I will loose the fairing but keep the hard bags , nice accessory.  300.00 bucks seemed like a deal even with the drive expense.  Anyone have an idea on what original colors were on these cause I will be painting etc. Not that it has to be original but I want to keep in the era.   Are rims readily available for this cause I do not think they will clean up.  I am sure I will have many questions.  Anyone need a faring?   Thanks Geno
