Free 1977 CB750 backyard find. or What was I thinking!
« on: October 02, 2010, 10:16:36 PM »
I have obtained a 77 cb750 from my brother. He bought it as a parts bike. Me being a glutton for punishment, decided to take on this bike as a project. This will probably end up being rebuilt to emulate a 70's drag bike. 
He has this bike, mostly complete, several boxes of parts, some new some not. Been sitting out in the weather for who knows how long.

Wish me luck.
I will post some pics, later today.

I got to get the pics posted. you'll just love what was done to the wiring. The drive chain is rusted solid. going to have to cut it off just to trailer it to it's new home.
One of my roommates has a "free" rebel i will be sharing garage space. maybe seeing progress on mine will motivate him to get off of his rear.

And something tells me this will be a money pit.  ;D
