Sweep, thanks for the kind words, everyone keeps telling us that. At this point the garage is my escape, a place where I can keep sane.
Ethos42, I will be posting some more pics this evening. Per holding the bike up, if you look closely on the front of the bike, there is a metal T-bar under the frame neck (the kind of bar used to drag a floor motorcycle jack around). It killed me to spend the $80 for one of those small lifts. Per polishing, take it to a professional. I did the sand paper route, with the buffing wheel and was not able to get anywhere close to the professionals. I only ended up polishing the smaller items. It would have driven me nuts if I did not get it looking better...
754, it is a 73 motor (CB750E -2245339) in a 73 frame to my knowledge. I did purchase and extra set of motor covers, one to polish and one to chrome. I ended up sticking with the chromed pieces as the look the part for me (75 cover??).
Greg do not worry brother, I am going to need more help soon enough. I am going to throw the engine in the frame on Friday hopefully, call me if you get a chance. Pretty sure you do not have to work do you?
More pics tonight....
