Custom CB750 I saw on the road
« on: August 03, 2009, 10:41:48 AM »
Here are a couple camera phone pics of a CB750 I noticed in a parking lot just south of Muskegon, MI. I couldn't help but share these. I snapped the photos before I went into the store. When I came out five minutes later the bike was gone... Too bad, I would've liked to hear its story.

Agreed. The front fender matches the 77/78K as well.

K tank, single front disc, rear fender,  I think that there's a little silver paint on that motor.  PD carb airbox.
77-78 K  with a lot of stories to tell.  Very nice indeed.  One of these day, I'll find that great 750 with the fairing and luggage for cheap and then.....

I did not get the mileage. The people I was with wanted their Starbucks too bad.

I'm living in Lincoln Park right now, moving to Livonia in the next month or so.
