Get the boys at the Honda shop to work on the carbs. Once it runs clean, the other stuff is dooable ;D

Have you got any beter pics of her?

Maybe you're not in a position to do anything with her now - but maybe sooner or later.

If you're anything like me, you will regret it later if you sell that bike...

Just my opinion of course
CB750 K1 - undergoing restoration (on hold)
CB750 K2 - Wanted - More time to work on her
CB1300S - the most awesome bike i've owned yet
Z1000 1977 - Wanted - a head in rebuildable condition

Was this bike listed on e-bay?  Looks familiar.  What area are you in?  Anywhere near VA?
