This is my 75 CB750. It doesn't run right now. I bought it with the intent to take it down to the frame and rebuild it. Stage one of the project is getting it running. I'll be moving to Canada soon and it will be easier to import if it's road worthy.



I also bought this 76 Cb750 for parts.



I was shopping for a front fender to replace the bobbed one on the 75 and this came up on craigslist for about the same price as used fenders on eBay. The fender does have a couple dents I'll have to take out. The motor is seized but the tank is in good shape. I plan to try to rebuild the motor once I get the other bike running.

I have a '76 CB750F1 which I've just recently got running. She still needs some tidying up to make her pretty again but at least she's back on the road.

Just picked up a 1977 CB750K yesterday with 950 original miles. Just need to get rid of the Windjammer fairing and stepped up seat and I'll be ready to hit the road. BTW, I'm looking for a headlight assembly and original seat.

Currently restoring a 78 cb750f that is a project, has about 16000 miles.  Bike has sat since 1989, mostly outside so is going to be a work in progress.  Location Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Not sure which direction I'm going to take the bike as it needs just about everything.  I've been able to get the engine to run so I know its OK, so its worth spending some time & money.

Here's my 1974 with an 836 kit in it.


that's what it looked like in the begining.

since then I've replaced all wheel bearings, brakes, wire harness, points to the dyna system, cleaned out carbs, put that fiberglass seat pan on, replaced battery, etc etc. halfway through the dual disc conversion, just need a few more parts.  this is the first bike i've owned....currently I have some electrical gremlins I'm trying to exorcise but after that all I need is some tuning

Well Boys, Here she is a few thousand dollars and 9 months of blood sweat and tears later.  I chose bike because this was my vary first motorcycle and I wanted it back.  I did all the work except the paint and chrome.  I chose not to paint the motor when I pulled it because the bike only has 3600 miles on it and I didn't want to tear it down with that low of miles.  The tank and side cover paint is original but I had it buffed out and re cleared.  I had the frame and swing arm and every other black part re painted.  I had the front fender and headlight ears re-chromed.  After that, a lot of polishing and scrubbing.  I found the bike in an old barn where it had sat for 20 years in an uncontrolled climate environment.  Needless to say everything was rusty and in sad shape.  Well, I got it done and it's exactly how I remember it.  All I have left to do is get an exhaust.  The set of pipes that is on there is original and rust free, but it is pretty scratched up and the upper left baffle is loose so I want to get a new set from England.  I really like those Replicas.  Any opinions on that??

Thanks
Wish I lived in England I'd already have that OEM 4 into 4 exhaust on her but it's really hard to justify the $300 for shipping to get it here.

I bought a #4 341 pipe from David Silver and it was very good but not excellent condition. I believe it was a NOS pipe though.

1975 K5
Bought new 1/75, stored since 1983 - did the carbs 4 yrs ago and got back into it a month ago.  Tires arriving Tuesday (Conti's), got a speedo replacement on e-bay last week to replace my crunched one from my 1979   ::) spill, starter for some  ??? reason worked then kraped out.  Top 2 are period photos -new ones on the road hopefully very soon.  It has 11K and change original miles.  The 4 x 4's rusted out by 1978 - it now has 4 into 2's that I bought back then.
