Hello all - Old biker from Metro Detroit

I'll be busy reading, but hello. 

I have an old mixed breed CB750 in the "works".

Hiya

What year was it originally, and how "mixed breed" is it?  Let's see some pics.  Is it a runner?

By the numbers, I have a 74 frame, sporting a 69-70 engine.  I purchased the bike as a project, (read basket case).  It is not currently running, as I am still working on asembling the pieces I have, and resaerching the items I will need to complete.  It is currently a rolling chassis and engine

My first bike was a 74 750, that I had for many years, until life got in the way.  I've had this "project" now for about 8 years, and expect to have it running this summer.  (wish me luck !)

I don't have any pics right now, but will attempt to get something to put up soon. 

BTW, I love the site and board ... lot's of good info, THANKS.

Here is a quick pic my 750 project's current status. 

I'll also be pulling some pics together of some extra parts I have to get rid of to give you guys first crack at them.

It's a runner now !!!  I hate the seat but need to ride while I can.

Got it road worthy about two weeks ago - having a blast.

Congrats on getting your bike on the road!  It looks good! That seat takes me back.  Haven't seen one in a while but they were everywhere back in the day.
