Looking at a '73 CB750K this week. Anything particular I should be aware of?
« on: February 11, 2008, 08:35:46 PM »
I am driving out to look at a '73 750K later this week. By the owners admission, the bike probably needs top end work (rings etc). Aside from that and comsmetically, he says it is pretty clean and complete.

Is there anything particularly notable or specific about the '73 that I should be aware of?

Same as all other 750's.
replacement cosmetics/exhausts cost
Make sure it has never thrown a chain
